Side dishes and meals
▯
The best known oven-cooked side dishes are
potato-based, such as potato gratin. However, you
can also obtain excellent results when oven-cooking
side dishes that are normally pan-fried, e.g. potato
fritters and fried potatoes. The advantages of this
preparation method: You can prepare relatively
large quantities of food at the same time, the
cooking smells do not spread so far in the room,
and the food can be prepared using less fat.
