Make 1 more layer each of potatoes, onions, cheeses, and seasoning in same manner, then top with remaining potatoes and remaining cheeses. (Do not season top layer.) Pour reserved cream evenly over top and cover tightly with foil.

BLUE CHEESE MUSHROOM AND ONION POTATO GRATIN



Blue Cheese Mushroom and Onion Potato Gratin image

To save time saute the onions and mushrooms up to a day in advance, you can also make this omitting the mushrooms if desired. The cooking time is only estimated depending on the thickness of the sliced potatoes, if you own a mandoline use it for this recipe as the potato slices must be sliced very thinly.

Categories     Potato     Side     Bake

Yield 6 serves

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large sweet potatoes (about 2 1/2 lbs. peeled and sliced paper thin)
1 can evaporated milk
1 cup milk (not skim)
3 cloves finely minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 jalapeno pepper minced
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
8 ozs. crumbled blue cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Sautee garlic and pepper with a little olive oil. Add milk, salt, pepper, nutmeg potatoes and the blue cheese in a large saucepan. Simmer 5 - 7 min, stirring occasionally. Spoon into 8 by 8 by 2 inch baking dish. Bake in 350° F. oven 35-40 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender and top is brown. Top with bread crumbs if desired. Serves 6

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-shredded cheese or a food processor to grate the cheese.
  • Use a good quality blue cheese that has a strong flavor. A mild blue cheese will not provide enough flavor to the dish.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the dish will be less rich and creamy.
  • To make the dish even more decadent, add a few tablespoons of butter to the top of the casserole before baking.
  • Sprinkle some chopped fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, on top of the casserole before baking for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Serve the casserole immediately, while it is hot and bubbly. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
