Simple Herbed Potatoes Au Gratin with Provolone Cheese

Easy, cheesy, herbed potatoes au gratin is always a go-to crowd pleaser, not to mention that this comforting dish is also gluten free!

It can be fun yet frustrating at times to learn different cuisines and their foreign terms. That was the time I first tried potatoes au gratin (scalloped potatoes). So cheesy and easy to make!

It’s perfect for busy days, when you are out of time being in the kitchen, preparing your lunch for hours.

The herbs and spring onion brightens and lightens the dish, the nutmeg gives depth and the caramelized onions take it to another level. This dish is a crowd pleaser!
