Potato & Broccoli Gratin
"Who doesn’t love potatoes and cheese. Your family and friends will delight over this little casserole. It’s one of those dishes that if placed on the table steaming, will generate oooh and aaahs. You can sprinkle crispy bits of bacon to add another depth of umami flavor and texture to the dish. And you can add fresh herbs such as basil, oregano and rosemary to add some aroma and flavor. As for wine pairings, this dish can be paired with light red wines when served for dinner. Or, you can serve it with white wines if you’re serving a lighter meal. "
