Cooking Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease a baking dish with olive oil or butter.
- Arrange half of the potatoes in the dish and season with salt, pepper, and garlic.
- Add remaining potatoes and pour milk evenly over the top.
- Scatter cherry tomatoes over the potatoes and sprinkle with cheese if using.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the potatoes in the center are tender when pierced with a knife and the top is lightly golden. If the potatoes are still firm, continue baking and check again before serving.
- Remove from oven and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes
• Slice the potatoes to a uniform thickness so they cook evenly. A vegetable slicer is helpful, but a sharp knife also works.
• Check the potatoes in the center of the dish before removing it from the oven. A knife should slide through them easily; a golden top alone does not mean they are cooked.
• If using plant-based milk, choose an unsweetened, unflavored variety so it does not add sweetness or vanilla flavor.
• Cheese is optional. If using it, choose a cheese made with vegetarian rennet to keep the dish vegetarian.
• Let the gratin rest briefly before serving so the liquid can settle and the portions are easier to serve.
