Potato and Pumpkin Gratin (lowFODMAP)

Today’s recipe is inspired by the very French Gratin Dauphinoise, typically made with thinly sliced and layered potatoes and cream. But you know that when we see the word cream in a recipe, besides the calories, it usually has too much dairy, making it impossible to digest. For this low FODMAP gratin, I’ve created a light white sauce, inspired by the also very famous French béchamel sauce.

I’ve also added a FODMAP safe serving of pumpkin, for less calories and a richer source of nutrients. Ok, and also because I love pumpkin and wanted to try it in a gratin for a long time.

This potato and pumpkin gratin is the perfect autumn side dish and can also be served as a main dish. In this case I suggest a green or, if you like the flavor, a Belgian endive salad. So comforting and yummy!

Further Food Commentary:

While bananas are the usual poster child when it comes to sources of potassium, potatoes are also an excellent source of this important mineral. Potassium is crucial for many functions in the body, especially regulating blood pressure, muscle contractions, and fluid balance.

Much like the other family of orange fruits and vegetables, pumpkin is also a great source of both vitamins A and C, which help boost immunity, protect eye health, and can also help lower blood pressure.
