  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds of potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup of grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup of Gruyère cheese, grated
  • 1 cup of béchamel sauce (milk, butter, flour, nutmeg)
  • 1/2 cup of cooked spinach, chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh thyme sprigs for garnish
  • A sprinkle of paprika for that mystical touch

Instructions

  1. Wash, peel, and thinly slice the potatoes. Mince the garlic, chop the cooked spinach, and grate the cheeses. Set everything aside for easy assembly.
  2. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth, then slowly add milk, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. This creamy béchamel will give your Gryffindor gratin its luscious texture and magical flavor.
  3. In a greased baking dish, layer half of the potato slices. Spread a layer of chopped spinach, then pour half of the béchamel sauce over it. Sprinkle with a third of the shredded cheeses. Repeat with remaining ingredients, finishing with a generous layer of cheese on top.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the assembled gratin with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly. This ensures your Gryffindor gratin is perfectly cooked and cheesy—just like a magical feast from Hogwarts.
  5. Once out of the oven, let the gratin cool slightly. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs and a dash of paprika to enhance its enchanting appearance. Serve slices hot, paired with a fresh salad or crusty bread for a full Hogwarts-inspired meal.

Notes

  • For an extra cheesy crust, sprinkle additional cheese on top before baking.
  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and authenticity.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini for variety.
