Posted for ZWT6 for Scandinavian Region. Found on Scandinaviafood.com. They suggest serving with roasted lamb but I think this would be a great addition to any meat honestly. Very simple to prepare.

Tips:

Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape well and won't get mushy in the gratin.

Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly.

Layer the potatoes and cheese in a baking dish: Start with a layer of potatoes, then a layer of cheese, and repeat until you have used all of the ingredients.

Season each layer with salt and pepper: This will help to enhance the flavor of the gratin.

Bake the gratin in a preheated oven until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and golden brown: This usually takes about 45 minutes.

Let the gratin rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Swedish potato gratin is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture, cheesy flavor, and crispy top, this gratin is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
