Sometimes side dishes completely steal the show, and this is one of those times! Thin slices of potato, butternut squash and onion, piled up with garlicky, creamy-cheese sauce and finished off with even more cheese and crispy bacon. Sooo good! But is it actually a gratin? Or is it a dauphinoise? I think it’s actually a dauphinoise - since it’s cooked in cream with a hint of garlic. Although some sources say gratin has a breadcrumb or cheese topping.
Maybe dauphinoise is a type of gratin? I’m so confused ???? Who cares, it tastes bloomin lovely whatever it’s called! We enjoyed it as a main dish with a big, crispy-green salad and we ate the lot (after fighting over those bacon bits on top).
Eeek I’ve just realised this is my second-to-last post before C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S!! ???????????????????????? How can that be? I’m so not ready! I mean, I’ve bought all my pressies, decided on the Christmas day menu, ordered the food and decorated the tree…… ….but I don’t feel ready!! Are you ready? My next couple of recipes will be turkey leftover-based recipes, so look out for them. I’ll post one on Saturday, and then I’ll be sure to get the next one out early on boxing day. Both yummy double-tested turkey recipes (I’ve cooked a lot of turkey over this last couple of months!). If I get time, I might try to post a dessert recipe too. Winter spiced pecan cheesecake? It would be wrong not to! Right, time to go back to list-making and Christmas panic. If you liked this recipe then why not take a look at my other gratin recipes such as my Cheesy Butternut Gratin or Potato and Ham Gratin.
