CREAMY MUSHROOM-POTATO BAKE
The day I first made this, we'd invited a neighbor-a bachelor farmer-over, and I wanted to fix something hearty. It was a hit instantly. These days, our three sons enjoy it as a change from regular mashed potatoes. We've found that it's best served with beef...either with or without gravy. -Kathy Smith, Granger, Indiana

WILD MUSHROOM AND POTATO GRATIN
Wild mushrooms add a luxurious dimension to this comforting, almost classic potato gratin. There is no cream here, just milk mixed with porcini broth (the result of soaking dried porcinis for 30 minutes in boiling water). You can use a mix of wild mushrooms, or just one type. Sauté them with onion or shallots, garlic and savory herbs (thyme and rosemary or sage), season them well and toss with the potatoes. The gratin requires 1 1/2 hours in the oven; first you will doubt that all of the liquid will be absorbed by the potatoes, and about halfway through you will be convinced that the finished dish will be watery and the potatoes hard. But by the end, once all the bubbling has subsided, the soft potatoes will have imbibed all of the flavorful liquid in the dish, and the top and edges of the gratin will be crusty, the way a gratin should be.

Steps:
- Place the dried porcinis in a bowl or a pyrex measuring cup and pour on 1 1/2 cups boiling water. Soak for 30 minutes. Line a strainer with cheesecloth and place over a bowl. Drain mushrooms, then squeeze in cheesecloth to extract juices. Rinse several times and chop medium-fine. Measure out 1 cup of broth.
- Meanwhile heat oven to 375 degrees. Rub inside of a 3-quart gratin dish or baking dish all over with the cut half garlic clove and lightly oil with olive oil. Heat oil in a wide, heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion or shallots and cook gently until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn up heat to high and add mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until they begin to sweat, 2-3 minutes, reduce heat to medium, and add minced garlic, thyme, rosemary or sage and dried porcinis. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Season mushrooms with salt and pepper and continue to cook over medium heat until soft, about 5 more minutes. Add wine and cook, stirring, until it is no longer visible in the pan. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- In a large bowl combine potatoes, mushrooms, half the cheese, and salt and pepper. Arrange in an even layer in gratin dish.
- Combine milk and mushroom broth. Season generously with salt and pour over the potatoes and mushrooms. Press the vegetables down into the liquid. Bake 1 hour. Every 20 minutes remove gratin dish and press potatoes and mushrooms down into the liquid with the back of a large spoon. After 1 hour, sprinkle on remaining cheese and bake for another 30 minutes, until top is golden and the sides crusty. Remove from the oven and allow to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Serve hot or warm.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are best for this casserole because they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
- Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you're using a large pan, be sure to spread the potatoes out in a single layer so that they cook evenly.
- Season the potatoes well: Be generous with the salt and pepper, and add other seasonings to taste, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Use a flavorful broth: Vegetable broth or chicken broth are both good choices for this casserole. If you're using a low-sodium broth, be sure to add some extra salt to taste.
- Don't overcook the mushrooms: Sauté the mushrooms until they are tender but still have a little bit of bite to them.
- Grate the beets: This will help them to cook evenly and quickly.
- Add the cheese at the end: Stir in the cheese just until it is melted. Overcooking the cheese will make it tough and rubbery.
Conclusion:
This beet, wild mushroom, and potato casserole is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
