Gratin of potatoes with morels and yellow wine
For this delicious and very tasty morel mushroom and vin jaune gratin, we're staying in the spirit of the gratin Dauphinois, so no cheese, but with a double use of vin jaune: to sauté the morels, and in the cream that will be poured over the potatoes before cooking.
This is a full-flavored recipe, in which each ingredient is used to the full.

Meanwhile, peel and wash 1 kg 500 g potatoes.
Stage 14 - ⌛ 10 min.

Preheat oven to 180°C (360°F).
Generously butter a baking dish and lightly salt the bottom.

Remarks
Use soft-fleshed potatoes if possible, as they won't be cooked beforehand like in a potato gratin.
As always with recipes stamped "Vin jaune", you can also use a Jura wine instead, of the Savagnin variety if possible, which is also very good, but much more affordable in terms of price.
As you can never have too much Jura wine, you can add a dash to the gratin just before serving.
Of course, this recipe can also be made with fresh morels, in which case replace the soaking liquid with chicken or vegetable stock.
