Potatoes are one of my favorite ingredients because they are so varied and you can cook them in so many ways. Today I decided to make a Zucchini and Potato gratin as I wanted something healthy but a bit crunchy - a dish that makes you feel cozy and gives you the feeling that you are treating yourself to something nice while being healthy and nutritious. I made the gratin with parmesan, breadcrumbs and herbs using no cream or milk as this is what makes the dish heavy.

What would Spanish Week be without the famous Tortilla de Patatas. This is probably one of the most famous Spanish dishes in and outside of Spain and rightly so. The Tortilla de Patatas is a perfect starter or main course and it can even be a snack the next day cold from the fridge.

Tombet is made with potatoes, red pepper, aubergine, zucchini and tomato sauce so it’s not only vegan but also quite cheap :) This dish requires all the vegetables to be cut into 1cm slices and fried - don’t worry it will not result heavy or oily in the end if you drain your veggies well enough.

Hachis Parmentier is the french version of a Sheperd’s Pie. It is a pie made of minced meat with a crust or topping of mashed potatoes. Maybe when thinking of French food this pie doesn’t come to mind but it has been popular in France since the 17th century when Antoine Parmentier convinced King Louis XVI that this dish could fight famine.
