Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 30 min.

Peel 1 kg potatoes, slice (the mandolin is ideal for this), wash and drain.

Set aside.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 30 min.

Prepare 750 g cauliflower, then slice it into thin strips - the mandolin is very handy here too.

Set aside.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 2 min.

In a saucepan, pour 2 tablespoons of cold water, then 1 litre whole milk (the water will prevent the bottom of the pan from blackening).

Stage 4 - ⌛ 1 min.

Add the Parmesan crumbles - you can use a lot without any problem.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 20 min.

Add sliced potatoes, 1 sprig sage, 2 cloves garlic, salt and pepper.

Place over medium heat, and cook potatoes until tender.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 3 min.

When they are, remove the potatoes from the pan with a skimmer or spider, leave the milk in, and drain the potatoes.

Set aside.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 20 min.

Pour the cauliflower into the same cooking milk and cook until tender.

Stage 8 - ⌛ 2 min.

Then drain and set aside.

Stage 9 - ⌛ 3 min.

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

Mix together and lightly salt the potatoes and cauliflower.

Stage 10 - ⌛ 3 min.

Sprinkle over 50 g grated cheese (Comté cheese, for example, for a nice color).

Stage 13

Tip: The Parmesan crumbles can be cut into sticks for grilling with the gratin, and served as an aperitif.

Stage 14 - ⌛ 30 min.

Bake at 200°C (390°F) for approximately 30 minutes.

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.

Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, protected by cling film.
