Solo Cooking God's Cheesy Potato Gratin

A super simple gratin made by using store-bought cream soup powder as the sauce, sautéing thinly sliced potatoes and onions, and topping with plenty of cheese before baking.

🙋 Recommended for

  • Those who want to make a gratin easily without the hassle of making a béchamel sauce.
  • Families with children who love soft potatoes and cheesy dishes.

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 1 potato
  • 1/2 onion
  • 1 cup cream soup powder
  • 1 cup water
  • Mozzarella cheese (to taste)
  • 1 slice cheese
  • Pinch of parsley powder

Recipe 🍳

  1. Slice the potatoes as thinly and flatly as possible so they cook quickly.
  2. Slice the onion into strips of similar thickness to the potatoes.
  3. Heat oil in a pan, add the thinly sliced potatoes first, and sauté until they become translucent.
  4. Once the potatoes are somewhat cooked, add the sliced onion and sauté until golden to bring out the aroma.
  5. Add 1 cup of water and the cream soup powder, and quickly stir to prevent lumps while bringing to a boil.
  6. Once the soup sauce thickens, transfer to a dish and generously top with mozzarella cheese and a slice of cheese.
  7. Place in the microwave and heat for about 1-2 minutes until the cheese is completely melted, then finish with a sprinkle of parsley powder.
  1. Thinly slice potatoes and onions, then sauté in a pan until golden.
  2. Add water and cream soup powder, simmer until thickened, then transfer to a dish.
  3. Top generously with cheese and microwave until the cheese melts.

Cooking tips 💡

  • If the potatoes are too thick, they might not cook through by the time the sauce reduces, so slice them thinly or ensure they are fully cooked during the sautéing step.
  • Using milk instead of water to dissolve the soup powder will give the gratin a deeper, richer flavor.
  • Feel free to add bacon or sweet corn while sautéing to add more texture and fun.
