Potato Mushroom Gratin image

A delicious side dish which I've adapted from a recipe I found on an English website and which I am posting for the 2005 Zaar World Tour. Because I was expecting a cheese topping, this recipe had me looking up "gratin" in culinary dictionaries. What I found for "gratin" was "covered with bread crumbs and sometimes butter and grated cheese, and then browned in an oven". Something else I've learnt since this tour began. For me, "gratin" has always evoked images of either a cheese sauce or a cheese topping. Obviously topping this dish with grated cheese is an option, but the dish would be healthier without the cheese! Again, exercise your culinary discretion!

I've made this dish several times and it's always a hit. I like to add a little bit of garlic and thyme to the cheese sauce for extra flavor. I also like to use a variety of mushrooms, such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.

This is my new favorite comfort food. It's so easy to make and it always turns out perfectly. I love the way the cheese melts and bubbles on top. I usually serve it with a side salad.

I'm not a big fan of mushrooms, but I really enjoyed this gratin. The potatoes were perfectly cooked and the cheese sauce was delicious. I would definitely make this again, even without the mushrooms.
