YUKON GOLD POTATOES AU GRATIN RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Yukon Gold Potatoes Au Gratin Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold Potatoes, cut* into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
A mandoline makes slicing the potatoes much easier. I also soak the potatoes in water, while doing my prep work, so that they don't turn brown.

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 1 1/2 quart baking dish with about 1 tablespoon of the softened butter. Arrange a layer of potatoes in the baking dish, and sprinkle some of the cheeses over them. Continue layering potatoes and cheeses until you've used them all, ending with a layer of potatoes. In a small bowl, whisk the cream and chicken stock with the salt and pepper; pour this over the potatoes. Dot the remaining butter over the top and sprinkle with the paprika. Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown on top. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

POTATOES AU GRATIN



Potatoes au Gratin image

The humble potato gets the red carpet treatment in this easy yet luxurious recipe for potatoes au gratin. Sliced Yukon Gold or russet potatoes (you can use either, but don't use a combination as they cook at different rates) are layered with half-and-half or heavy cream, topped with butter and grated cheese, then baked until golden and bubbly. Feel free to play around: Add leeks, onions, garlic or more cheese between the layers. Experiment with fresh or dried herbs. It's incredibly adaptable and practically foolproof. Just don't forget to season with salt and pepper as you go. Like all potato dishes, it needs plenty of seasoning.

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 to 4 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 to 3 cups half-and-half or heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan or Gruyère
Pinch of nutmeg (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Seasoning each layer with salt and pepper as you go, layer the potatoes in a 10- or 12-inch ovenproof skillet.
  • Dot the top with 2 tablespoons butter. Pour in half-and-half. (It should come about 3/4 of the way to the top.)
  • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to low and cook for 10 minutes, uncovered, until the half-and-half has reduced by about half.
  • Transfer to the oven and bake until the top is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 300 degrees and cook until the potatoes are fork tender and the top is nicely browned, about 8 minutes more. Top with grated cheese and return to the oven until the cheese is melty and golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with a pinch of nutmeg, if using, and serve.

GRATIN OF YUKON GOLD POTATOES



Gratin of Yukon Gold Potatoes image

Years ago, one of the first meals I served my newlywed son and wife included this gratin. It's delicious without a lot of extra fat. There are some similar potato gratin recipes here, but none exactly the same. This is the one I know and love, the original, published by Martha Stewart in 1994.

3 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, thinly sliced into rounds
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces arugula, trimmed, coarsely chopped
2 cups grated Gruyère cheese

Steps:

  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 375°F. Butter 13x9x2-inch baking dish. Cook bacon in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels and drain.
  • Mix cream and milk in 4-cup measuring cup. Layer 1/3 of potatoes in prepared dish; overlap slightly. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Top potatoes with half of arugula. Top with 1/3 of cheese and 1/3 of bacon. Pour 1 cup cream mixture over. Repeat layering. Top with remaining potatoes. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, remaining cheese and bacon. Pour remaining cream mixture over.
  • Bake gratin uncovered until potatoes are tender and cream mixture thickens, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Let stand 15 minutes before serving. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool slightly. Chill uncovered until cold, then cover and keep refrigerated. Rewarm, covered with foil, in 375°F oven about 30 minutes.)

Tips:

  • Select the best potatoes: Yukon Gold potatoes are the perfect choice for this gratin as they have a creamy texture and a slightly sweet flavor. If you can't find Yukon Gold potatoes, you can also use russet potatoes, but they may be a bit drier.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and ensure that they are tender throughout.
  • Use a good quality Gruyère cheese: Gruyère is a hard, nutty cheese that melts well and has a rich flavor. You can also use a combination of Gruyère and Parmesan cheese.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: They should be tender, but still have a slight bite to them.
  • Serve the gratin immediately: This dish is best when served hot out of the oven.

Conclusion:

This gratin of Yukon Gold potatoes is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or a main course. It's perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its creamy texture, rich flavor, and cheesy topping, this gratin is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
