About Potatoes, scalloped, home-prepared with margarine
Potato gratin is a rich, comforting baked dish of thinly sliced potatoes layered with cream and often cheese, then baked until bubbling, tender within, and crowned with a golden-brown crust. The French original, gratin dauphinois, keeps it elegantly simple with potatoes, cream, garlic, and a whisper of nutmeg, while the popular au gratin style piles on melted cheese for extra richness. The word gratin refers to that irresistible browned top, coaxed out in a hot oven or under the broiler.
It is a hearty side, providing potassium, vitamin C, and fiber from the potatoes along with plenty of calories and fat from the cream and cheese, so it earns its place at holiday and Sunday dinners. Slicing the potatoes thin and even, ideally on a mandoline, is the key to them cooking through. Let a potato gratin rest for ten minutes after baking so the layers settle before you cut into it.
