Roasted Potatoes and
Cheese Hors d’oeuvres Created by Ruth Paget
I
would make a recipe similar to this one when I lived in France and Germany
called gratin Dauphinois. It is made
with crème fraîche, an ingredient which can be expensive in the United
States. I have used sour cream in this
recipe and changed the Emmenthal cheese to Monterey Jack.
This
version is a great as an hors d’oeuvres or as a side dish for steaks or beef or
pork roasts.
