Step by step recipe

• 1: Wash 800 g potatoes, cut them into pieces and cook in a large pot of salted water until they are tender.
  I used new potatoes here, if you don't have any, use the classic ones, but peel them.
• 2: Drain the potatoes, then pour them into a salad bowl.
  Add 4 tablespoons olive oil and mix well.
  Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
• 3: Place a sheet of baking paper in a baking tray.
  Spread the oiled potatoes on top, and place the cauliflower (here a small one) next to it, which you will also coat with olive oil with a brush.
  Add salt and pepper.
• 4: Bake for about 30 minutes, until the vegetables are golden brown.
  Do not turn off the oven.
• 5: Butter a casserole dish, and pour the potatoes in the bottom.
• 6: Chop 1 spring onion (scallion)...
• 7: ...and place it on the potatoes.
• 8: Add the roasted cauliflower cut into pieces.
• 9: Pour the béchamel sauce on top.
• 10: Finish by 50 g grated cheese and put in the oven...
• 11: ...for about 25 minutes.

Remarks

If you don't have a spring onion at step 6, replace it with a shallot or remove it.
As always with gratins, the proportions are very indicative, so feel free to adapt.
