A classic creamy mushroom-potato gratin recipe, with cremini mushrooms and plenty of cheese. Make sure to peel and slice the potatoes at the last minute, and don’t soak them in water or you will remove all the starch, which helps thicken the gratin.

1Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a stockpot or large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms, thyme, and pepper and cook until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Scrape into a bowl.
