Especially in uncomfortable weather, a piece of creamy potato and cheese gratin from the oven tastes particularly good.
The classic can always be convincing with a fresh salad.
Whether fried, steamed, fried, cooked into a creamy soup or a warming potato stew or baked in the oven as a broccoli and potato casserole - potatoes can be used to conjure up numerous delicious dishes and side dishes.
Delicious things from the oven: gratin, casseroles, oven-baked vegetables, etc.
The oven in the kitchen is not only ideal for delicious cakes.
In addition to pizza, tarte flambée and quiche, various casseroles, lasagna, crispy baked vegetables and many other hearty dishes can also be baked in the oven.

When savory dishes are prepared in the oven, vegetables, potatoes, pasta, etc. are often baked with a crispy, golden-brown cheese crust.
This is also the case with the delicious low-carb cauliflower casserole from the oven.

It's so easy and quick to bake the potato and cheese gratin in the oven
While the oven is preheating to 180 degrees top and bottom heat, the potatoes can be peeled and sliced into thin slices.
Peel the garlic and onion and chop finely.
Grease a gratin or casserole dish with a little butter (or alternatively a little oil).
In the next step, pour the cream and milk into the baking dish.
Season generously with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
Now fold in the grated Parmesan, the potato slices, onions and garlic.
Bake on the middle shelf in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes.
Then sprinkle with the grated cheese and small flakes of butter and bake again for 20 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
Bon appetit!
Something fresh tastes particularly good with a piece of hearty potato and cheese gratin.
For example, we recommend serving a large mixed salad with the gratin.
