Earlier this month I posted a recipe for parsley baby red potatoes and I still have a partial bag of those baby reds that are threatening to sprout. I used some of them last week to make this recipe of rosemary potato gratin for dinner one night and we loved them. I will be serving roast lamb for Easter Sunday dinner as well as some nice beef steaks to grill for the non-lamb-lovers and these potatoes will be a perfect side dish. Another great main entrée that is often served at Easter is spiral ham and this rosemary potato gratin would be a great accompaniment with ham as well.

I used my mandoline to slice the un-peeled baby reds. They were added to a large bowl along with the rest of the ingredients, then tossed together and put it into a gratin baking dish. The cream and cheese give it a smooth creaminess while the fresh chopped rosemary and lemon zest enhances and adds depth to the dish.

I cannot imagine Easter dinner without fresh asparagus and will also be including roasted fresh asparagus served at room temperature. I am thinking a fruit salad would be lovely with this dinner and Dahn will be bringing our dessert. She has not told me what she is bringing but whatever it is I know it will be spectacular.
