Christina's Notes
- Add Different Flavors: Add fresh garlic, fresh thyme, rosemary, or other herbs.
- Protein: Add diced ham or your favorite protein to the dish.
- Variation tip: For a Keto version, try using heavy cream in your cream mixture and use cauliflower in place of the potatoes.
- Alternate ingredient: Add different vegetables such as mushrooms, broccoli, or carrots to the gratin.
- Pattern: Feel free to lay out the potatoes for your potatoes gruyere dish. Make spirals or overlap them for a fancy presentation.
- More Cheese: Whisk in more cheese, such as parmesan cheese, to make it even more flavorful.
