Description

This elegant yet rustic gratin transforms humble waxy potatoes into a tender, comforting side dish. The use of green garlic provides a milder, sweeter onion-like flavor compared to mature bulbs, while fresh thyme adds an herbal brightness that cuts through the richness. Ideal for spring dinners, holiday gatherings, or any occasion where you want to impress with simple, high-quality ingredients. The potatoes are thinly sliced and baked until golden and tender, absorbing the savory aromatics for a dish that is both hearty and refined. It pairs beautifully with roasted meats or can stand alone as a satisfying vegetarian main.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC).
  2. Peel the potatoes and slice them uniformly thin using a mandoline or sharp knife.
  3. Arrange the potato slices in an overlapping layer in a greased baking dish.
  4. Scatter chopped green garlic and fresh thyme leaves evenly over the potatoes.
  5. Pour enough liquid (such as vegetable broth or water) to cover the bottom of the dish.
  6. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the top is lightly golden.

Note

Green garlic is young garlic harvested before the bulb fully forms; it has a milder, fresher taste than mature garlic. If unavailable, you can substitute with young garlic scapes or a small amount of regular garlic, though the flavor profile will be sharper.

Waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or fingerlings hold their shape better during baking than starchy russets, ensuring distinct layers in the gratin.

For a richer version, you can add a splash of olive oil or a dollop of vegan butter before baking.

Let the gratin rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set, making it easier to slice and serve.
