Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 15

6-7 medium yukon gold potatoes, thinly sliced into 1/8th inch rounds (3 pounds gold potatoes -- by weight is a more accurate measure)
½ white or yellow onion, cut into slices
For the sauce:
2 tablespoons salted butter
¼ cup all purpose flour (whole wheat, all purpose, or gluten free 1:1 flour will all work)
1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk (regular, skim or whole milk will also work)
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese (2 heaping cups shredded cheddar cheese)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¾ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
For topping:
1/2 cup gruyere cheese (or sub more sharp cheddar)
¼ cup grated parmesan
To garnish:
Fresh chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 2 quart square baking dish (or an 8x12 is good) with nonstick cooking spray or grease with butter or oil.
  • Place sliced potatoes in three tight slanted rows as indicated in the photos. You don't want them to be overly tight, make sure you leave enough space so the potato slices are slightly slanted. Add in onion slices in between the rows and on top of potatoes. Basically wherever you can fit them.
  • Next make your sauce: add in 2 tablespoons of butter and place over medium heat. Once butter is melted, whisk in a little bit of the flour and then slowly add in milk, a little bit at a time, alternating with the flour and vigorously whisking away any lumps. Bring mixture to a simmer; it should be a similar consistency to creamy gravy.
  • Turn heat to low and stir in shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if necessary.
  • Pour the sauce evenly over the potatoes and onions to cover them. Don't worry, the sauce will get nice and creamy while baking.
  • Cover the pan with foil, then bake for 45 minutes.
  • After 45 minutes, remove foil, sprinkle top of potatoes with 1/2 cup shredded gruyere (or more cheddar) and ¼ cup parmesan. Return to the oven and bake for 30-45 more minutes or until potatoes are done and nice and golden brown on top. (Potatoes are done when the middle of the potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork.) Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy!

Categories     Potato

Time 1h20m

Yield 2 pans, 6-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 large potatoes
1 quart heavy cream
2 1/2 cups grated parmesan cheese
1 cup mozzarella cheese

1 cup butter
3 tablespoons onion powder
3 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon parsley
crumbled bacon

Steps:

  • PREHEAT OVEN AT 400F.
  • Slice potatoes and put them in water. (I slice them with a slicer because if you cut them by hand, OBVIOUSLY they will be way too thick when you layer them!).
  • Melt butter in a LARGE saucepan and add heavy cream, the parsley, garlic powder and onion powder. Bring to a SOFT boil.
  • When (soft) boiling, TURN OFF. Add sliced potatoes and let them sit for 10-15 minutes (this is to let it cook a little bit to cut off the oven time!).
  • In a BUTTERED lasagna pan, make one thin layer of potatoes. Then add a layer of grated parmesan cheese, mozzerella, asiago and the crumbled bacon, and evenly disburse ONE LADLE of the cream on top of the potatoes. Continue this step until you reach 1 inch from the top of the pan.
  • POUR the cream inside the pan, enough to cover the potatoes.
  • Top with a little more cheese and COVER, but leave one side OPEN to let the steam vent.
  • after 35 minutes, check the potatoes. If they are not soft yet, continue again for 15 more minutes.
  • UNCOVER then cook another 15 minutes.
  • Let stand and the sauce will thicken.

CREAMY AU GRATIN POTATOES

This is my husband's favorite dish, and he considers it a special occasion every time I make it. The creamy cheese sauce and the tender potatoes in this classic French dish combine to make a deliciously addictive experience. It's a great side dish with a roast pork loin or beef tenderloin. Add a green salad and French bread, and you have found the magic path to a man's heart. To avoid lumps in your sauce, add the milk just a little at a time as you stir the flour and butter. Experiment with different cheeses for variety.
