Potato and leek gratin is a classic French dish that's both comforting and flavorful. This recipe combines tender potatoes, aromatic leeks, and a creamy sauce, all baked until golden and bubbly. It's perfect as a side dish or even a main course.
- Use a mandoline to slice the potatoes evenly and thinly, ensuring even cooking.
- Make sure to clean the leeks thoroughly as they tend to hold a lot of dirt between their layers.
- For extra flavor, you can sauté the garlic in the butter before adding the leeks.
- If you prefer a richer dish, you can substitute the light sour cream with heavy cream or a mix of cream and sour cream.
- Top the gratin with a layer of grated cheese, such as Gruyère or Parmesan, for an extra golden and crusty top.
- Let the gratin rest for a few minutes after baking to allow it to set before serving.
By following these steps, you’ll have a deliciously creamy and flavorful potato and leek gratin that's sure to impress your family and friends. Serve it hot and enjoy the meld of tastes and textures in every bite.
