Best Potatoes for Gratin

I like to use Golds for this recipe, which are a semi waxy yellow flesh potato, they have a delicious almost buttery flavour.

But any potatoes will work well. I do recommend choosing a good quality variety for this.

Feel free to use any cheese you like for the topping for this, so long as it melts well then it will work perfectly.

Don't like parmesan? Use cheddar, mozzarella, Gruyère whatever you fancy, just remember some cheeses are quite mild tasting, so may affect the overall flavour.
