Potato gratin with sausages

• The gratin: 4-5 potatoes, 1 onion, 3 eggs, 1 dl / 0.5 cup of whipping cream, butter, sausages, Mascarpone, Parmesan

I think Julia Child viewed food as variations of heated fat. She even managed to make a fatty version of chocolate mousse! So I guess I should have known better than to think that a potato gratin, from her cookbook, would make a healthy dish. Just check out the ingredientes above!

In all fairness though; Julia called for Swiss cheese. The mascarpone + Parmesan was just a bit of "satirical cooking" - I thought I could beat the queen of fat at her own game... Not a good idea, as it turned out...
In a Pyrex pie plate (now I know what that is), I built the gratin like this:

------------------------------------------------------------

L1: Sliced and in-salt-boiled potatoes

------------------------------------------------------------

L2: In-a-pan-with-butter-softened-minced-onion

------------------------------------------------------------

L3: Sliced sausages (a tasty pork kind I found in my fridge)

------------------------------------------------------------

L4: Another layer of that in-a-pan-onion

------------------------------------------------------------

L5: Cheeeeese....

------------------------------------------------------------

...then drown it all in egg+cream -> 190 C / 375 F hot oven for 30-40 min...

End result was too fatty and too eggy. I think the fatty was something that Julia and I have to share responsibility for (see above), but the eggy was all her. I even doubled the amount of potatoes. Following her recipe, which called for only half a pound of potatoes (= like 3 pieces), this would have been an omelet!!
I had a garden salad on the side. Salad 's my new thing. I stayed at a friends house last week, and was served a big salad with every meal. I now know how to beat my veggie deficit...
