If the gratin doesn't get as browned on top as you would like, which is basically the best part of any gratin, you can place it under the broiler for a couple of minutes until it reaches your ideal texture. This dish is impressive-looking and delicious enough to potentially earn a place on your holiday table as a hearty, satisfying side. It features russet potatoes, milk, garlic, dried rosemary and thyme, and two types of cheese: Neufchatel and Parmesan. Neufchatel is a healthier type of cream cheese and is delicious with dips and cheesecake. If you've never used it before, you should definitely seek it out for this recipe.
