# Potatoes Au Gratin with Garlicky Greens  - Made In

Creamy, layered potatoes baked with sautéed winter greens, garlic, and nutmeg, then finished with a golden, cheesy top. This classic gratin is rich, comforting, and made for cold-weather cooking.

Potatoes au gratin are the definition of cold-weather comfort—rich, creamy, and deeply satisfying—but adding winter greens gives this classic extra depth and balance. Kale, Swiss chard, collards, mature spinach, or even cabbage bring a subtle bitterness and texture that cuts through the richness of the cream and cheese, making each bite feel more complete rather than heavy. Cooking the greens first concentrates their flavor and keeps the gratin from turning watery. Avoid tender greens like arugula or spring greens, which aren’t sturdy enough for this dish.

This recipe is intentionally flexible: use whatever hearty greens you have on hand and slice the potatoes thinly for even cooking and clean layers (a mandoline is the best tool for the job). Baked low and slow, the potatoes turn tender and luscious while the top browns into a deeply golden crust. It’s a dish that feels equally at home on a holiday table or alongside a simple roast chicken on a weeknight.
