Potato & Zucchini Gratin

What You Will Need:  Zucchini, potatoes, half & half, unsalted butter, salt, pepper & 1 or 2 cheeses of your choice. I have sliced provolone & a garlic herb cheese called Boursin. 

Preheat your oven to 375*


In a medium bowl, pour in 2 - 3 c. of half & half. 


Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the potatoes to your desired thickness. 


Mine are about a 1/4 in. The thickness will just vary your baking time, the thicker the cuts the longer the cook time. 


Place them in the bowl of half & half. 


Slice up the zucchini & add it to the bowl.


Mix & set aside. 


Butter the bottom of your baking dish.


Cover the bottom with a layer of the sliced potatoes & zucchini. Sprinkle with salt/pepper.


Top with one of your cheeses. 


Then add another layer of potato/zucchini, salt/pepper & more cheese.


Continue till you've used all the sliced potatoes/zucchini. You want 3 or more layers. Season with salt/pepper then take about 1/2c of the half & half and pour it over top.


Finish with more cheese & scatter some little chunks of butter.

Cover with foil & bake for 30-35 minutes.

Uncover & bake another 15-20 till the top is golden brown.


Allow to cool about 10 minutes till you cut into it.

Garnish with grated parmesan cheese & chopped fresh parsley. (optional)


Slice it, serve it & devour it! 


Enjoy & Always Cook with LOVE
