The golden, crisp top layer—typically formed of breadcrumbs, cheese, or egg and butter—is what makes the delicious French technique known as au gratin renowned. This dish is the epitome of a hearty and tastefully soothing cheesy potato au gratin with peas.

This dish is perfect for a warm and comforting family supper in the winter, or whenever you're craving something filling and healthy.
Pair it with a light green salad drizzled with vinaigrette to cut through the richness, or serve it with a crisp sauvignon blanc to contrast the creamy texture. To make it a main course, try grilling some chicken or fish. Steamed green beans or tangy coleslaw are bright and refreshing side dishes.
