Instructions

super simple, delicious side dish to red meat

Peel the sweet potato and potatoes (you can also make the gratin with just sweet potatoes) and slice them thinly. Bring to a boil with cream, milk, salt, pepper, vegetable stock, freshly grated nutmeg, and a pinch of paprika. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the potato slices. Simply place everything in a small baking dish, cover with the cheese, and place in a preheated oven at 200°C (top/bottom heat). Bake for about 20 minutes, until the cheese is golden brown and crispy. While it won’t look quite as beautiful as if you had arranged the raw potato slices in a row in the baking dish and put them in the oven with the sauce, it will save you those disappointing moments when you take the gratin out after waiting forever to find the potatoes are still raw… and it tastes just as good.
