How to Make Mini Potato Gratins

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
  2. In a large pot, boil 1 lb (450g) potatoes, uncovered, in salted water for 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender.
  3. Drain potatoes and let cool for 5 minutes. Cut into ½-inch cubes and transfer to a bowl.
  4. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons chopped spring onion and 1 clove minced garlic; cook until softened (about 2 minutes).
  5. Stir in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute.
  6. Gradually whisk in 1 cup milk until smooth. Continue stirring with a wooden spoon until the sauce thickens (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from heat.
  7. Stir in 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, salt, and pepper to taste.
  8. Pour the sauce over the potatoes and gently mix to combine.
  9. Spoon the potato mixture into four 1-cup ovenproof ramekins or dishes.
  10. Top each gratin with 1/4 cup shredded cheese and 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs.
  11. Place ramekins on a baking sheet.
  12. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
  13. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
