Best 8 Gratin Of Potatoes Recipes

POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add the cream and milk to a large saucepan over medium-low heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the nutmeg, a big pinch of salt and some pepper. Meanwhile, slice the potatoes on a mandoline to 1/8-inch thick. Place the potatoes in the warm cream mixture and simmer gently until the potatoes are two-thirds of the way cooked and the cream has thickened, about 15 minutes.
• Place a 9-by-12-inch flameproof gratin dish on the stove over low heat. Brush the bottom and the sides with the melted butter. Spread the garlic around the bottom of the dish. Cook just long enough to toast the garlic in the butter, 3 to 4 minutes. Add a layer of the potato mixture. Combine the Gruyere and Parmesan in a bowl, then sprinkle a third of the cheese over the potatoes. Repeat the layering 2 more times, finishing with the remaining cheese. Pick the thyme leaves and sprinkle over the top, mixing with last layer of cheese. Place the gratin dish on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until bubbly and golden, 45 to 50 minutes (see Cook's Note).

GREAT GRATIN OF POTATOES

Steps:

• Rub an oval gratin dish or rectangular (14 x 8 inches) 2 quart gratin dish with garlic. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
• Slice the potatoes into slices only 1/16 to 1/8-inch thick. You'll build up 3 layers in the gratin dish. Overlap the potato slices for the first layer and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, pepper and 1/2 of the cheese. Drizzle some cream over the top and dot with 1 tablespoons of butter. Repeat with more potatoes, cheese, cream and salt and pepper and butter. Repeat with last layer, keeping it free of cheese but dotted with butter. Pour chicken broth over the top and bake for 1 1/2 hours, basting the potatoes, in the middle of baking time, with liquid accumulated in the bottom of the gratin dish.

GRATIN OF POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 110C/225°F.
• Pour the milk into a saucepan and add the herbs and crushed garlic. On a medium heat, bring to the boil and leave to simmer for 5 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and leave to cool so that the milk infuses with the herbs and garlic. Once infused, strain to remove the herbs and pour the milk back into a large heavy-bottomed pan.
• Slice the potatoes as thinly as possible. Add them to the milk, separating them as much as possible, and place the pan on a medium heat. Bring the liquid to a simmer, stirring occasionally to stop them from sticking. After a few minutes, when the milk has thickened, add the cream and butter and gently agitate the pan so that everything is mixed inches.
• Add the salt, cayenne pepper and nutmeg. Be careful - cayenne pepper is strong stuff. This gratin will take more salt than expected, as the potatoes absorb quite a lot.
• Pour the potatoes into a baking dish at least 5cm/2 inches deep and measuring about 25 x 15cm/10 x 6 inches, trying to get them as flat as possible. The potatoes should be covered by about ½cm of liquid. A little less is fine, but if there is more liquid than that, do not add it. Tightly cover the dish with kitchen foil and bake in the oven for 4 hours. Every 45 minutes or so, gently press down on the potatoes with the back of a wooden spoon.
• Just before serving, flash the dish under a hot grill to gratinate it.
