Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes. Starchy potatoes, such as Russets or Yukon Golds, are best for potato gratin. They hold their shape well and become creamy when cooked.
- Slice the potatoes thinly and evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
- Use a good quality Gruyère cheese. It will melt smoothly and give the gratin a rich, nutty flavor.
- Don't overcook the gratin. It should be cooked until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the gratin rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to slice.
