This potato gratin is certainly a celebration of potatoes, but it’s the walnuts and cheeses that really bring this side dish to life. The red bliss potatoes are earthy and light, so the richness and crunchy texture of the walnuts links up with the tangy and salty cheeses to make this a great sidekick for anything from turkey or roast chicken to prime rib or roasted fish. Remember, potatoes can vary and so can the cooking time for this gratin. Cook until the potatoes are tender.
