Dressing Up Potatoes for the Holidays

There’s nothing cozier and more comforting than a bubbling casserole of cheesy potatoes in the winter. This rustic side is often prepared in a large gratin dish, which can be plunked in the center of a table for indulgent family-style serving. However, when the holidays beckon and your menu demands a little fancifying, dress up this moreish dish by portioning and baking it in elegant individual ramekins.
