Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the batter: Grate the potato. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, flour, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

2. Prepare the vegetables: Dice the onion, grate the carrot, and chop the red bell pepper. Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes.

3. Sauté the vegetables: Heat the vegetable oil in a pan. Sauté the onions until translucent, then add the carrots and bell pepper. Cook for 5–7 minutes until tender.

4. Combine ingredients: Add the grated potatoes to the batter. Stir in the sautéed vegetables, French herbs, and chopped parsley.

5. First baking phase: Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Pour the mixture into a baking dish and bake for 30 minutes.

6. Add the cheese: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese. Return to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

7. Prepare the sauce: While the gratin bakes, mix sour cream, mayonnaise, finely chopped garlic, pickled cucumber, dill, and black pepper together.

8. Serve: Let the gratin cool for 5 minutes and serve with the prepared sauce.
