This gratin was a perfect side dish for our roasted chicken. It was creamy and flavorful, and the fennel and leeks added a nice touch.

The gratin was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some herbs or spices next time.

This dish was easy to make and turned out great. I used Yukon Gold potatoes and they were perfect. I also added a bit of garlic to the mix.

This gratin was a bit too rich for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use less cheese.

This potato fennel leek gratin was a hit! It was flavorful and cheesy without being too heavy. The fennel and leeks added a nice subtle sweetness and anise flavor. I would definitely make this again.
