Potato Mushroom Gratin image

A delicious side dish which I've adapted from a recipe I found on an English website and which I am posting for the 2005 Zaar World Tour. Because I was expecting a cheese topping, this recipe had me looking up "gratin" in culinary dictionaries. What I found for "gratin" was "covered with bread crumbs and sometimes butter and grated cheese, and then browned in an oven". Something else I've learnt since this tour began. For me, "gratin" has always evoked images of either a cheese sauce or a cheese topping. Obviously topping this dish with grated cheese is an option, but the dish would be healthier without the cheese! Again, exercise your culinary discretion!
