Au gratin means it’s covered with breadcrumbs or grated cheese and browned. The most popular high-carb favorite is potatoes au gratin. Obviously when you’re eating low-carb, white potatoes are not going to fit into your food plan.
My low-carb swap for replacing potatoes in this recipe is turnips. It’s the perfect low-carb veggie to replicate the size of potatoes as well as the color. If you’ve never tried turnips, I highly suggest this recipe!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 by 9 baking dish or 1.5 quart dish.

Peel the turnips and slice thinly about an 1/8th of an inch or use a mandolin.

Layer one third of the turnip slices on the bottom of the dish. Pour one third of the cream mixture over the turnips. Sprinkle a half cup of mozzarella over that. Repeat this process for the second and third layers. You will have 1 cup of mozzarella remaining.
