Remarks
Once the gratin is in the oven, I recommend that you set aside the cooking milk, discarding the croutes, garlic and sage, for use later in another recipe, such as a béchamel sauce.
If you don't have any Parmesan croutes, add 50g of grated Parmesan to the potato and cauliflower mixture in step 9.
If you don't have any Parmesan croutes, add 50g of grated Parmesan to the potato and cauliflower mixture in step 9.
Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, protected by cling film.
