What’s the Difference Between A Baked Potato and A Gratin of Potatoes?
The potatoes are frequently baked in a basic cream sauce (usually a combination of heavy cream and milk), and that’s it. Gratin potatoes are a little more decadent since lots of cheese is placed in the middle of the layers of potatoes and on top of the casserole.
Are Scalloped Potatoes and Au Gratin Potatoes the same?
Well, there is only a slight difference you can say: it’s all about the cheese! Both baked potato meals are thinly sliced potatoes, cream, or milk. However, shredded cheese is used in the middle of each layer and on top of au gratin potatoes, which bakes into a delectable crust. Cheese is typically not used in scalloped potatoes.
What are the Best Potatoes for Air Fryer Potato Gratin?
Yukon Gold potatoes are my go-to for gratins and other delicious potato recipes as they maintain their shape nicely and don’t require peeling. This recipe also works well with russets.
Which Type of Cheese is Best for Air Fryer Potato Gratin?
