Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go
  1. Peel the potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin rounds, about 3 mm thick. Set them aside in a mixing bowl of cold water so they don't turn dark.

    Tip · For perfectly even potato rounds, use a mandoline if you have one.
  2. Sauté the onion

    Cut the onion into small dice. In the nonstick skillet, melt 10 g of butter over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté it for 5 min until translucent.

  3. Cook the potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and add them to the skillet with the onion. Cook them 5 min over medium heat, stirring now and then, without browning them.

  4. Make the sauce

    In the saucepan, warm the milk and crème fraîche over low heat without boiling. Off the heat, add the nutmeg, half the shredded cheese (25 g), salt and pepper. Mix well.

  5. Assemble the gratin

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (thermostat 6). In the baking dish, spread half the potatoes and onions. Add half the smoked salmon, cut into pieces. Cover with the rest of the potatoes and salmon.

    Tip · Serve with a green salad to balance the dish.
  6. Pour on the sauce

    Spread the hot sauce evenly over the gratin. Sprinkle with the rest of the shredded cheese (25 g).

  7. Bake

    Bake the gratin for 20 min, until the top is nicely browned and the potatoes are tender.
