Vegetarian Gratin and Side Dishes

This potato gratin is vegetarian and creates variety at the dining table.

I like to serve a colourful leaf salad with the potato gratin.

So the creamy preparation with cream finds a refreshing addition.

Always wash the salad thoroughly, then spin dry and marinate with a simple vinegar-oil dressing.

Tomatoes, radishes and other vegetables are an excellent accompaniment.
