How to make cauliflower and potato gratin with smoked cheese?
To remove soil residue, it is necessary to wash the potatoes. To facilitate uniform cooking, prick them with the tines of a fork. Next, transfer the potatoes to a microwave-safe plate and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Be sure to create air holes in the film to allow steam to escape.
To prepare the dish, you can start by placing it in the microwave. Turn the microwave to maximum power and cook for about 6 minutes. You can also boil the potatoes in a pressure cooker or pot with water. It is essential not to overcook them, as this could make the next step impractical. Once the potatoes are cooked to perfection, carefully peel them and cut them into pieces about 5mm thick, which you will reserve for later use.
The cauliflower should be rinsed well under running water and then separated into several florets. Brown the florets with the finely chopped onion, a pinch of salt and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil for a few minutes. Finally, cut the smoked cheese into slices.
