Potatoes savoyarde is a classical french disha gratin, to be exact, which is any dish topped with cheese and/or buttered bread crumbs. This dish originated in savoy, high in the french alps, hence its name. Its the perfect accompaniment for any meat or fowl prepared in almost any way. We've served it next to beef daube, smoked salmon, and veal saltimbocca. Whatever you serve it with, it's delicious; although, you might want to vary your herbs to more closely complement whichever main dish or other side dishes you choose.
