Potato-Mushroom Gratin

This potato and mushroom gratin is the ultimate comforting side dish, combining earthy chestnut mushrooms with tender, thinly sliced potatoes. Layers of double cream and salty Parmesan cheese create a rich, velvety texture that pairs beautifully with the aromatic notes of fresh thyme and garlic. It is a sophisticated take on the classic dauphinoise, offering a wonderful depth of flavour and a satisfying golden crust that makes it a standout addition to any dinner table.

As a versatile vegetarian dish, it works equally well as a decadent accompaniment to a Sunday roast or as a substantial main course served with a crisp green salad. The recipe is also remarkably practical, as it can be prepared a day in advance and reheated without losing its luxurious quality. Whether you are hosting a formal dinner party or looking for a special family supper, this homemade gratin is a reliable crowd-pleaser.
