It's prepared as a rich, savory gratin, layered with mashed potatoes and baked until golden and bubbly. This convenient pre-made version offers a taste of traditional French comfort food without the extensive preparation.

To prepare, simply remove the lid and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and the top is golden brown. You can also microwave it for a faster option, though the texture will be softer. For an extra touch, consider adding a sprinkle of cheese or fresh herbs before baking.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike a simple potato gratin, brandade parmentiere incorporates the distinct, savory flavor of salt cod, adding a unique depth and richness. The cod is typically flaked and mixed into the potato base, creating a more complex and satisfying texture.
