A tian is a French earthenware vessel and always filled with delicious vegetables. You can use an attractive casserole and make this gorgeous potato dish. Be sure to arrange the potatoes in a pretty pattern, because you will serve the dish in the pan it was cooked in.
To get the best results use a great quality extra virgin olive oil, we love Colavita.
