Gratin of beet tops and potatoes
In a very classic gratin, here's a pairing that's a little less classic: beet tops with potatoes. The tops add a slight bitterness that complements the sweetness of the potatoes, cream and cheese. May 19th 202532 K 55 min.
Country filo tart
For this recipe, we use strips of filo pastry, assembled in circles in a tart mould, which are then filled with Reblochon cheese, potatoes and cooked meat, and finally topped with a quiche filling. The resulting tart is very tasty and crisp, but also very light, since it doesn't require a conventional tart dough. February 9th 202524 K 1 hour
