POTATO GRATIN
In this classic gratin, thinly sliced potatoes soak up all the goodness of a milk-and-cream mixture that has been spiked with nutmeg. A sprinkling of grated Gruyere cheese on top becomes gooey in the oven. Using a mandoline creates thin slices, which helps the gratin cook more evenly.

POTATOES AU GRATIN
The humble potato gets the red carpet treatment in this easy yet luxurious recipe for potatoes au gratin. Sliced Yukon Gold or russet potatoes (you can use either, but don't use a combination as they cook at different rates) are layered with half-and-half or heavy cream, topped with butter and grated cheese, then baked until golden and bubbly. Feel free to play around: Add leeks, onions, garlic or more cheese between the layers. Experiment with fresh or dried herbs. It's incredibly adaptable and practically foolproof. Just don't forget to season with salt and pepper as you go. Like all potato dishes, it needs plenty of seasoning.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Seasoning each layer with salt and pepper as you go, layer the potatoes in a 10- or 12-inch ovenproof skillet.
- Dot the top with 2 tablespoons butter. Pour in half-and-half. (It should come about 3/4 of the way to the top.)
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to low and cook for 10 minutes, uncovered, until the half-and-half has reduced by about half.
- Transfer to the oven and bake until the top is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 300 degrees and cook until the potatoes are fork tender and the top is nicely browned, about 8 minutes more. Top with grated cheese and return to the oven until the cheese is melty and golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with a pinch of nutmeg, if using, and serve.

Tips:
- Use a mandoline or sharp knife to thinly slice the potatoes evenly. This will help them cook evenly and create a nice texture in the gratin.
- If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to carefully slice the potatoes by hand. Just be sure to slice them as thinly as possible.
- Don't overcrowd the potatoes in the baking dish. They should be in a single layer so that they can cook evenly.
- Use a combination of cheeses to create a flavorful and complex gratin. A good combination is Gruyère, Parmesan, and cheddar.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the gratin will be less rich and creamy.
- Garnish the gratin with fresh herbs, such as thyme or parsley, before serving.
Conclusion:
Potato gratin is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or main course. It's perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal. With its creamy, cheesy sauce and crispy potato topping, potato gratin is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
