CLASSIC POMMES BOULANGèRE - FRENCH GRATIN POTATOES



Classic Pommes Boulangère - French Gratin Potatoes image

This classic French potato gratin dish literally translates as "Potatoes in the Style of the Baker's wife". The story is, that in the past, a French family would prepare these potatoes and then take them to the local boulangerie, the baker, to be cooked in the even heat of his oven, hence the name. Any sort of good quality stock will do, chicken, lamb, beef or vegetable. For a richer taste, a ratio of 50% hot stock and hot milk/cream can be used. If using lamb stock, it is nice to sprinkle the top of the potatoes with fresh Rosemary, and I often add a sprig of thyme to my potatoes when baking them. I have found that melted butter gives a better result than dotting butter, no burned and upturned edges anymore!

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape well and are less likely to break down during cooking.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly and evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality cheese: A flavorful cheese, such as Gruyère or Comté, will add a lot of flavor to the dish.
  • Don't skimp on the butter: Butter adds richness and flavor to the potatoes.
  • Cook the potatoes slowly and gently: This will help them develop a tender, creamy texture.
  • Let the potatoes rest before serving: This will allow them to set and firm up slightly.
