- 400 ml Heavy cream

👨🍳 Instructies
- 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease a medium-sized gratin dish with butter.
💡 Pro Tips: Ensuring the dish is well-greased prevents sticking. - 2
In a bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, chopped dill, salt, and pepper.
💡 Pro Tips: A good whisking incorporates air, making the sauce lighter. - 3
Arrange a layer of thinly sliced potatoes in the bottom of the prepared gratin dish. Scatter half of the chopped herring over the potatoes.
💡 Pro Tips: Uniformly sliced potatoes ensure even cooking. - 4
Pour about a third of the cream mixture over the potato and herring layer. Repeat with another layer of potatoes, the remaining herring, and another third of the cream mixture.
💡 Pro Tips: Distributing the herring evenly ensures each serving has fish. - 5
Top with the final layer of potatoes and pour the remaining cream mixture over the top. If using, sprinkle the grated Gruyere cheese over the gratin.
💡 Pro Tips: The cheese topping adds a golden, crispy crust. - 6
Cover the gratin dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown and bubbly.
💡 Pro Tips: Covering initially steams the potatoes, while uncovering allows browning. - 7
Let the gratin rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra fresh dill if desired.
💡 Pro Tips: Resting allows the gratin to set, making it easier to serve.
💡 Pro Tips
- ✓If using salted herring, rinse it thoroughly under cold water before chopping to remove excess salt.
- ✓For a richer flavor, you can add a minced garlic clove to the cream mixture.
- ✓Ensure potato slices are thin and consistent for even cooking.
