    💙 Why you'll love it

    • It will warm you up and is deliciously comforting, with seasonal vegetables.
    • It's really very simple to make.
    • It is vegetarian and can easily be made vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free.

    🥔 Ingredients

    These are the main ingredients, and the quantities can be found in the recipe card below.

    • A butternut: it's in season from September to March included, so make the most of it!
    • Potatoes: I recommend soft-fleshed potatoes for a gratin, such as Yukon Gold, Red Potatoes, and White Potatoes.
    • Creme fraiche
    • Grated cheese: if you can, take a block of cheese (Comté, Swiss cheese, Beaufort, Parmesan, etc.) and grate it yourself - it'll be even better!
    • Garlic and yellow onion.
    • Herbs: chives and thyme, fresh or frozen.
    • A little butter, for the first cooking of the vegetables.

    ✨Customize your gratin

    You can replace some of the creme fraiche with milk for a lighter recipe. And don't hesitate to adapt the recipe to suit your tastes, by adding plain or smoked bacon, for example.

    ✅ Vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free version

    • To make this recipe vegan and dairy-free, replace the cream with vegetable cream (soy or even coconut for a slightly exotic taste), the grated cheese with the vegetable grated cheese of your choice, and the butter with vegetable margarine.
    • To make this gratin a gluten-free recipe, be careful with the grated cheese you buy, as some contain gluten.

    🥰 The chef's advice

    Pre-cook the vegetables well before assembling all the ingredients, so that they melt in the gratin.

    ❄️Storage

    Stored in an airtight container, this butternut and potato gratin will keep in the fridge for up to 48 hours.
