To prepare, simply remove the plastic film from the top of the container. Place the gratin in a preheated oven at the temperature indicated on the packaging. Bake until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown and bubbling. The creamy sauce will thicken and meld with the potatoes as it bakes, creating a delicious, cohesive dish. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving to let the flavors settle.
