Time 2h20m

Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more, softened, for dish
8 ounces shallots (about 4), thinly sliced (1 1/3 cups)
1 clove garlic, minced
2 thyme sprigs, plus 1 teaspoon leaves
2 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch-thick rounds
2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
5 ounces sharp white cheddar, grated (about 1 1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F with a rack in lower third. Brush a 2-to-2 1/2- quart baking dish with butter. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots, garlic, and thyme sprigs; cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots are beginning to turn golden, 5 to 7 minutes (if they brown quickly, reduce heat). Stir in potatoes, milk, cream, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, about 3 minutes. Remove and discard thyme.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer one-third of potato mixture to prepared dish. Season with salt and pepper; sprinkle with one-third of cheese. Repeat layering once more; top with remaining potato mixture and season. Cut remaining 2 tablespoons butter into cubes; sprinkle over top. Carefully pour liquid from pan over top. Scatter on remaining cheese, thyme leaves, and more pepper. Transfer dish to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet.
  • Bake until bubbly, 1 hour, 20 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. Let cool at least 20 minutes (so cream mixture can be fully absorbed), loosely tented with foil, before serving.

CREAMY AU GRATIN POTATOES



Creamy Au Gratin Potatoes image

This is my husband's favorite dish, and he considers it a special occasion every time I make it. The creamy cheese sauce and the tender potatoes in this classic French dish combine to make a deliciously addictive experience. It's a great side dish with a roast pork loin or beef tenderloin. Add a green salad and French bread, and you have found the magic path to a man's heart. To avoid lumps in your sauce, add the milk just a little at a time as you stir the flour and butter. Experiment with different cheeses for variety.

Time 2h

2 cups milk
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape well and are less likely to fall apart when cooked.
  • Use fresh tarragon: Fresh tarragon has a more delicate flavor than dried tarragon. If you don't have fresh tarragon on hand, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried tarragon.
  • Grate the cheese finely: Finely grated cheese will melt more evenly and smoothly.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: The potatoes should be cooked through but still slightly firm. Overcooked potatoes will be mushy.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The potatoes will start to lose their crispy texture as they cool.

Conclusion:

Gratin of potatoes with white cheddar and tarragon is a classic French dish that is both simple to make and delicious. The creamy, cheesy potatoes are topped with a crispy breadcrumb crust and are flavored with fresh tarragon. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. It can be served as a main course or a side dish.
