Cabbage, Potato and Corned Beef Gratin

I had some leftover corned beef so I decided to make this delicious gratin to use it up. I love potatoes and cabbage together and the corned beef was the perfect addition to this creamy casserole.

I pre-cooked both the potatoes and cabbage. I left the cabbage whole (it was half a head) and steamed it and for the potatoes I cut them into large cubes before cooking for 10 minutes. After I drained them, I made a cream sauce and added Gruyere cheese to it. I also used the same pan for all steps. I don’t know about you but I really hate washing dishes.

You can make this with or without the corned beef in it. You can always get a piece of corned beef from the deli to make this. I’d get it one or two pieces and then cube it. I used russet potatoes to make this, they got so creamy when it was baked, but still held their shape. Just be sure not to cook the cabbage or potatoes completely done, they will finish getting tender when the casserole is baked.
