Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses. Tyler Florence uses a combination of Gruyère, Parmesan, and white cheddar, but you can use any cheeses that you like. Just make sure to use a good quality cheese that will melt well.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes. The potatoes should be tender, but still have a little bit of bite to them. If you overcook them, they will become mushy.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the potatoes and cheese, but not so thick that it is gloopy. If the sauce is too thin, it will not hold the potatoes and cheese together.
  • Bake the gratin until it is golden brown. The gratin should be baked until the top is golden brown and bubbly. This will ensure that the cheese is melted and the potatoes are cooked through.

Conclusion:

Tyler Florence's Scalloped Potato Gratin is a classic dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy, cheesy sauce and tender potatoes, this gratin is sure to be a hit at your next dinner party.
