How people cook with it
This frozen gratin is a versatile side dish that pairs well with a variety of main courses.

To prepare, simply remove the gratin from its packaging and place it in a preheated oven. The exact cooking time and temperature will depend on your oven, but generally, it involves baking until the gratin is heated through and the top is golden brown and bubbly. You can often tell it's ready when the sauce is simmering around the edges and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. It's best served hot, directly from the oven.
