This Summery Spin on Potato Gratin Is Smoky, Satisfying, and Dairy-Free

A comforting vegetable gratin fits the bill no matter the season — it’s the perfect side dish to go along with whatever you’re serving. This summery version stars tender, thin-sliced red potatoes that are layered with sweet bell peppers and onions. The veggies are drenched in a smoky, totally dairy-free cheese sauce. We’ll get to the dairy-free secret in a minute, but for now, just know that each bite is rich, creamy perfection.

Smoked paprika gives this potato gratin incredible depth of flavor. The warm spice is earthy and ultra-savory. In fact, this gratin is such a stunner of a dish that it could just as easily move to the center of your table – pair it with a simple green salad and it’s absolutely entrée-worthy.”
