Today is the Improv Cooking Challenge which is hosted by Kristen of Frugal Antics of a Harried Homemaker and our ingredients are potato and cheese. I make so much with potatoes and cheese, I could have a dozen recipes here. I wanted to make something new, though, and decided to see what I could do with what I had in the refrigerator to make a new recipe.
This is what I came up with and I really liked it and Romeo liked it a lot but not as much as some of my other cheese dishes.
Potato, Zucchini, Goat Cheese and Cheddar Gratin
1 medium zucchini, sliced thin
4 medium potatoes, sliced thin
1 red onion, sliced thin
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 ounces plain goat cheese
2/3 cup white cheddar cheese
1/2 cup Italian Dressing
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Pour olive oil in a casserole dish and spread to cover bottom.
Layer potato zucchini, red onion, goat cheese. Pour half of the dressing over this.
Repeat layer.
I had enough for a third layer of potatoes so put on another layer and cover that with Cheddar.
Bake for 30 minutes. Cover and bake for another 15-20 minutes.

Sounds great! Like the use of goat cheese here. Awesome improv
Great new twist on an old standard.
Yum!
Goat cheese in a gratin sounds lovely!!
I wouldn’t have thought to use Italian dressing, but it looks and sounds delicious. Of course, the words “potatoes and cheese,” alone draw me in.
Have a fabulous day!

I do love gratins and this one sounds particularly good. It’s wonderful how combinations of cheese types work so well together.
