Potato gratins, originating from French cuisine, are a rich and indulgent dish often served as a side or main course. Made by layering thinly sliced potatoes with cream, milk, butter, and cheese, the dish is typically seasoned with garlic, nutmeg, salt, and pepper before being baked to golden perfection. Its creamy texture and hearty flavor make it a comfort food favorite. While high in carbohydrates from the potatoes, gratins also contain calcium and protein from the dairy ingredients. However, due to the heavy use of cream, butter, and cheese, the dish is calorie-dense and high in saturated fats, making it best enjoyed in moderation. Variations may include additional vegetables or alternative dairy options to lighten the recipe, helping balance its nutritional profile.
