Peas au Gratin

An incredibly easy potato dish that is tasty and filling as a main course or side dish. This is the simplest version I came up with to get the kids to eat it. But you can substitute a stronger cheese, add more veggies or meat to make it heartier.

The most clear way to choose a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose something different. When you’re cooking pasta, make sure for a simple vegetable . Making steak? Go for more light. If you’re making stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to adjust with make a rice salad.

This also can apply to cooking method . You don’t want to push more often your oven by making to do list three dishes at once in there, or be juggling four pans on the cooking items . But often you can made a dish do more often .
