instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with butter.

    2

    Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly, about 1/8 inch thick. Rinse in cold water and pat them dry.

    3

    In a medium saucepan, melt 50 grams of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking for about 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.

    4

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, mustard, some salt, and pepper. Whisk together until well blended.

    5

    In the greased baking dish, layer half of the potato slices. Pour half of the cream mixture over the potatoes, then layer half of the spinach on top.

    6

    Sprinkle half of the cheese over the spinach. Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, cream mixture, spinach, and cheese.

    7

    Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

    8

    After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.

    9

    Allow the gratin to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Creamy Mustard Spinach and Potato Gratin!
