Potato gratin

Easy and very presentable when entertaining; that would sum up this potato gratin. I love to find ideas of dishes and appetizers that can be either made ahead of time or prepped for and only assembled at the last minute. I cut the potatoes and cook them ahead of time so the only thing I need to do is add the egg/cream mixture and pop them in the oven right before serving.

Adorable heart shaped gratin

Ingredients:

3 Potatoes

1 chopped onion

2 eggs

1/4 cup of heavy cream

1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

Salt/Pepper

2 tablespoons shredded cheese+a handful for sprinkling on top

Directions:

Peel and cut the potatoes into small cubes, cook them in salted water until tender then let them drain and cool down.

Sautee the chopped onion in a little oilve oil and let it cool down completely.

Mix the eggs, cream, cilantro, salt/pepper, shredded cheese and cooled onion.

Distribute a first layer of potaotes in the bottom of the mold and pour some of the eggs mixture over it, then spread a second layer and cover with the remaining mixture.

Cook in a 375 degree oven for 20-30 minutes. Once cooked, add shredded cheese to the top and turn the oven off until the cheese is melted.

Important: I have used a silicone mold because it's easier to take the gratin out of it.

Enjoy!
