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.
