"I modified two recipes - one for a sweet potato gratin and one for a regular potato gratin- to come up with this lovely dish. The dijon mustard gives it a wonderful flavor, however; if you don't like mustard, you can omit it and follow the rest of the recipe as written."

I am a SAHM who loves to cook for my small family! I have a 14 month old daughter, a wonderful husband, a seven year-old Keeshond and a cat named Rex Manly. I really just love this website! I visit it practically every weekday for ideas and recipes and try to always post a review of everything I make from Zaar. The only time I don't is when I have a negative reaction to a recipe that was due to my mistake or if I have substituted so many ingredients that it wouldn't be a fair review. Thanks to all of you wonderful cooks who have made me a better cook myself!
