POTATO AND ZUCCHINI GRATIN

Steps:
- Peel potatoes and cut into quarters. Boil for around 20 minutes in salted water until slightly cooked. They should be firm.
- Meanwhile melt butter in a small saucepan and add the onion which you have finely chopped and the minced garlic clove. If you don't like garlic much you can omit or if you love garlic you can double the cloves.
- Sautee until the onion is translucent (about 5 minutes) and then add the chopped ham and cook for 2 minutes. Add some oregano to taste.
- Drain the potatoes and chop into smaller pieces and place in a 20cm x 30cm baking dish.
- Chop the zucchini into fairly small pieces and add to the potatoes. I had tiny fresh zucchini which I sliced but if you have larger ones you may have to chop them up and perhaps even remove the centres if they are very pulpy.
- Add the zucchini to the potatoes and then mix in the onion-ham-butter mixture.
- Pour over the cream and stir gently to coat well. You can add a little water especially to rinse out the cream container. ( Not more than 1/2 cup though).
- Season with salt and pepper and some freshly ground nutmeg.
- Bake at 180 celcius for around 35 minutes or until the top is a little brown and the cream has thickened into a sauce.
- Serve with a green salad.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For the best results, use starchy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes. These potatoes will hold their shape well and become tender when cooked.
- Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish: Make sure there is enough space between the potato slices so that they can cook evenly.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Gruyère, cheddar, and Parmesan are all good choices.
- Season the dish well: Don't be afraid to add some salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the dish. This will help to enhance the flavor of the potatoes and cheese.
Conclusion:
Sweet potato and zucchini au gratin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. With its creamy cheese sauce, tender potatoes, and crispy zucchini, this dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
