CHEESY POTATO AND KALE GRATIN WITH RYE CROUTONS



Cheesy Potato and Kale Gratin with Rye Croutons image

There's no need to reduce your cream or pre-cook the kale for this aromatic casserole; everything cooks together in cheesy, creamy harmony. Leaving the potatoes unpeeled bumps up nutrients and cuts the prep time, too.

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 slices seeded rye bread
1 large bunch kale (preferably Tuscan; about 12 ounces), ribs removed, leaves torn into 3" pieces
6 ounces good-quality Gruyère, grated on the large holes of a food processor blade or box grater (about 2 cups)
2 ounces good-quality Parmesan, grated on the large holes of a food processor blade or box grater (about 1/2 cup)
2 pounds yellow-fleshed potatoes (such as Yukon Gold), unpeeled, cut crosswise into 1/8"-thick slices (see Cooks' Note), divided
1 teaspoon dried thyme, divided
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 garlic cloves, finely grated or pressed
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Special Equipment
A 13x9x2" or 3-quart baking dish

Steps:

  • Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 350ºF. Arrange bread slices on a rimmed baking sheet and bake, flipping once halfway through, until dry and lightly toasted, 15-20 minutes. Let cool. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag and break into irregular, 1/2"-1" pieces. Transfer to a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Meanwhile, wash and spin-dry kale, then layer between paper towels or a large clean kitchen towel and pat dry.
  • Mix Gruyère and Parmesan in a medium bowl. Shingle one-quarter of potatoes in 3 or 4 rows, slightly overlapping, in bottom of baking dish. Sprinkle with one-quarter of thyme, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/8 tsp. pepper. Top with 2 cups kale and one-quarter of cheese mixture. Repeat 2 more times. Shingle remaining potatoes over cheese; top with 1/4 tsp. salt, 1/8 tsp. pepper, and remaining thyme. Reserve remaining kale and cheese.
  • Stir cream, garlic, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/8 tsp. pepper in a liquid measuring cup. Pour evenly over potatoes.
  • Bake gratin 40 minutes. Cover with foil and continue to bake until cream is bubbling and thick and potatoes are tender when pierced with a paring knife, 35-45 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, toss reserved croutons with 2 Tbsp. oil in a medium bowl. Toss remaining kale with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil. Top gratin with kale, remaining cheese, then croutons, allowing kale pieces to peek through. Bake gratin until croutons are golden brown and exposed kale edges are well-crisped, about 15 minutes more. Let cool at least 10 minutes before serving.
  • Do Ahead
  • Bread can be toasted 3 days ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Kale can be torn, washed, and patted dry 3 days ahead. Wrap in paper towels, place in a resealable plastic bag, and chill.
  • Gratin can be made 1 day ahead. Let cool, then wrap tightly in plastic and chill. Bring to room temperature, cover with foil, and warm in a 300ºF oven until heated through, 15-20 minutes. Uncover and continue to warm to re-crisp croutons and exposed kale edges, about 5 minutes.

CHEESY POTATOES GRATIN

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h5m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 yellow onion, finely diced
Kosher salt
2 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 quart milk
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 cups grated Gruyere
1 cup grated Parmigiano
3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 1/4-inch slices

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions, then season with salt and cook until the onions are soft and very aromatic, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in the flour and cook until the roux is the consistency of wet sand, 3 to 4 minutes. Whisk in the milk, bring to a boil and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Turn off the heat and whisk in the mustard and cheeses. Season with salt to taste to make sure it is delicious!
  • Place a quarter of the potatoes in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Ladle a quarter of the cheese sauce evenly over the potatoes. Repeat this process 3 or 4 more times with the remaining potatoes and sauce, pushing down the potatoes between each layer and topping with the sauce. Place the baking dish on a sheet tray lined with foil. Bake, rotating the dish halfway through, until the potatoes are soft when poked with a fork, 50 to 60 minutes. Tent with foil if the top is getting too brown.
  • Let sit for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
  • Hot cheesy potatoes!

Tips:

  • For a crispy crust, make sure to use a baking dish that is at least 2 inches deep.
  • To prevent the potatoes from sticking to the baking dish, grease it lightly with butter or cooking spray.
  • If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to thinly slice the potatoes.
  • To make the rye croutons, cut the bread into 1-inch cubes and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • For a vegetarian version of this dish, omit the bacon.

Conclusion:

This cheesy potato and kale gratin with rye croutons is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The potatoes are thinly sliced and layered with kale, cheese, and bacon, then baked until golden brown and bubbly. The rye croutons add a crispy texture and a nutty flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
