In addition to pasta, potatoes are a popular side dish in Germany: In addition to puree and fries, a classic potato gratin is just one of many options.
Like many other delicious dishes, the original recipe for potato gratin or gratin dauphinois comes from France, where it is prepared without egg and cheese. Potatoes, cream, milk, garlic and butter are layered to make a delicious gratin that goes perfectly with steak, fish, vegetables or a fresh salad.
Not a classic without variations, because only dishes that are available in countless variations can call themselves true evergreens of the kitchen. Vegetables are easy to hide in the potato and zucchini casserole, while the bright pink of the vegetarian beetroot and potato gratin catches the eye. The spicy sweet potato miso gratin swaps the potato for the sweet relative, and the viral TikTok recipe makes Parmesan potatoes come out of the oven extra crispy.

But since Einfach Tasty likes to bake everything (ok, almost everything) with cheese, you couldn't leave it out of a tried and tested dish. Sorry not sorry, but otherwise this recipe is really close to the French model – I promise.
