We first made this recipe when we hosted Easter one year. It was a side to go with our traditional ham dinner, but this side can accompany any meal. It won’t last long, I promise!
When I make this people go back for seconds and thirds.
Next month we’ll be digging up potatoes at our local farm specifically for this dish, because it’s that special. And now I’m pretty sure I’m going to have to add more people to my guest list since the word is out.

I love the fact that this gratin has a crust. I’ll have to give it a try.
