Yukon Gold and Sweet Potato Gratin

This Yukon Gold and sweet potato gratin is a beautifully balanced vegetarian side dish that offers a sophisticated twist on the classic dauphinois. By combining earthy, buttery Yukon Gold potatoes with naturally sweet red-skinned sweet potatoes, you create a vibrant contrast in both colour and flavour. Infused with fresh thyme, garlic, and a hint of warming nutmeg, the vegetables are simmered in milk before being finished with a rich cream topping for a truly indulgent texture.

Perfect for a Sunday roast or as a centrepiece for a festive dinner, this homemade gratin is remarkably simple to prepare. The dual-cooking method ensures the potatoes are perfectly tender inside while achieving a golden, bubbling crust on top. Serve it alongside roasted greens or a crisp salad for a comforting, seasonal meal that will please the whole family.
