This is my husband's favorite dish, and he considers it a special occasion every time I make it.

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

CLASSIC BISTRO STYLE GRATIN DAUPHINOIS - FRENCH GRATIN POTATOES



Classic Bistro Style Gratin Dauphinois - French Gratin Potatoes image

This classic French potato gratin dish is world famous, and rightly so! I am quite happy to have this as a main meal, with just some crusty bread and a large mixed salad on the side. I have heard that this famous dish was created as a way of encouraging the "Dauphin" (the young prince destined to become King Henri II), to eat up his vegetables, hence the name! Maybe - it is certainly just as popular with children, as it is with adults. Try to slice the potatoes as thinly as possible for the best results. A wonderful accompaniment for all sorts of roast meats, stews, casseroles and poultry. This recipe is not strictly French, using as it does a Swiss cheese.

1 ounce butter
cheese, for topping (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300F/150C/gas mark 2.

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!

  • Serve immediately with roasted meats, as an alternative to roast potatoes, or with a pot roast, hot-pot and vegetables.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For a creamy and smooth gratin, use starchy potatoes such as Russet or Yukon Gold. These potatoes hold their shape well and will absorb the cream and cheese sauce.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly: Thinly sliced potatoes will cook evenly and will create a more delicate texture in the gratin.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish: Make sure there is enough space between the potato slices so that they can cook evenly. Overcrowding the baking dish will result in soggy potatoes.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of the gratin. Use a cheese that melts well and has a strong flavor, such as Gruyère, Cheddar, or Parmesan.
  • Season the potatoes well: Don't forget to season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before baking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the potatoes.
  • Bake the gratin until golden brown: The gratin is done baking when the top is golden brown and bubbly. The potatoes should be tender and the cheese should be melted and gooey.
