If she made it with a potato that absorbs more (like russet), I bet
there wouldn't be a grease problem - unless she over baked the dish.
I said that because I'm reminded of spaghetti sauce and gravy with the
fat that won't incorporate.... all you need to do is add a little more
water (because it was reduced too much). Therefore, I suspect pools
of fat on the cheese is a symptom of over baking the gratin.
