Tips:
- Choose the Right Potatoes: Use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for a creamy texture.
- Slice Potatoes Thinly: This ensures even cooking and a crispy top layer.
- Season Generously: Don't be shy with salt, pepper, and other herbs or spices.
- Use a Combination of Cream and Milk: This creates a richer, more flavorful sauce.
- Grate Cheese Freshly: Pre-shredded cheese often contains additives that can affect the texture and flavor.
- Bake Until Golden Brown: The gratin is ready when the top is bubbly and browned.
- Let it Rest Before Serving: This allows the gratin to set and makes it easier to slice.
