Origin French Onion Potato Gratin
Gratin dishes originate from French cuisine, known for their rich, baked, creamy textures. The classic “gratin dauphinois” uses thinly sliced potatoes, cream, and cheese. This version combines the beloved flavors of French onion soup—caramelized onions and Gruyère cheese—with the traditional gratin method, creating a layered dish full of flavor, warmth, and French flair.
What I Love About This Recipe
I love how this recipe transforms simple pantry ingredients into something so rich and satisfying. The caramelized onions add a deep sweetness that pairs perfectly with the creamy potatoes and sharp Gruyère. Every bite is melty, savory, and layered with flavor. It’s a dish that feels luxurious but is surprisingly easy to make—and it always impresses.
