⭐ Why you'll love this recipe
These homemade potatoes au gratin are perfectly creamy thanks to the gluten free Bechamel sauce.
If you are not familiar with (gluten free) Bechamel sauce, it is a delicious white sauce that makes every gratin instantly creamy. I also use it to make Baked chicory with ham and cheese and Healthy vegetarian cauliflower casserole.
You will love them so much they will become one of your go-to comforting dishes.
These gluten free au gratin potatoes with Bechamel sauce are easy to make and kid friendly!
📖 Ingredient notes
- Potatoes. Your best choice for this recipe will be Yukon Gold potatoes, due to their tender flesh. Other good options would be Russets or Idaho potatoes.
- Bechamel sauce. It is a French white medium-thick sauce. It is usually made with butter and wheat flour. Although here, I'm using a gluten free Bechamel sauce. This sauce is used a lot in France to make all kinds of casseroles or, as we call them "gratin". This sauce makes it much easier for kids to eat vegetables.
- Grated cheese of your choice. This recipe is usually made with Gruyere cheese. But as I can't have cow dairy I'm using sheep cheese (a French cheese called Ossau-Iraty). You can also use cheddar, emmental or whatever you prefer.

👩🏻🍳Top tips
