Categories     side dish

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

46 ounces medium-sized potatoes, peeled
1 cup milk
2 cups heavy cream
2 large cloves garlic, peeled
1 ¾ cups grated Gruyere cheese
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 F.
  • Slice the potatoes into thin rounds - less than ¼ inch in thickness.
  • Add the milk, cream, and whole garlic cloves to a large saucepan and heat on a burner at medium until simmering, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon.
  • Add the sliced potatoes to the pan and let them simmer in the garlic infused milk/cream for 5 minutes, and move the potatoes around in the pan frequently with a wooden spoon to prevent them from sticking to the bottom.
  • Using a large slotted spoon, remove the potatoes from the pan and add about half of them to a large, ovenproof baking dish. Spread the potatoes out in an even layer.
  • Remove the rest of the potatoes from the pan and set them aside.
  • Remove the garlic cloves from the pan and pour about half of the cream mixture evenly over the top of the potatoes in the oven dish.
  • Sprinkle salt and pepper over the potatoes, then sprinkle half of the grated cheese evenly over the top.
  • Add the remaining potatoes on top in another layer, then add the cream, salt and pepper, and cheese once again.
  • Bake the potatoes for 45 to 50 minutes, or until they are bubbling and golden on the top.
  • Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for several minutes, then serve, optionally sprinkled with fresh chives.

POTATO GRATIN WITH THYME



Potato Gratin with Thyme image

I love this gratin for its simplicity; just five ingredients. It's all you need, and it's a perfect companion to lamb, beef, or other roasted meats.

Provided by Ted Allen

Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound Yukon gold or red potatoes
1 1/2 cups grated Gruyere
1 large egg
1 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons freshly chopped thyme leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a 1 1/2-quart shallow baking dish.
  • Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Peel potatoes and cut into 1/8-inch slices - a food processor is good for this. Add potatoes to boiling water and cook 4 minutes. Drain potatoes thoroughly in a colander.
  • Arrange 1/3 of the potatoes in baking dish, top with 1/3 of the cheese, 1/3 of the thyme leaves, and sprinkle with salt and freshly ground pepper. Repeat twice more, ending with a layer of cheese and thyme.

PUMPKIN GRUYèRE GRATIN WITH THYME



Pumpkin Gruyère Gratin with Thyme image

Provided by Susan Spungen

Categories     Cheese     Side     Thanksgiving     Pumpkin     Thyme     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon butter
1 medium onion, halved and sliced
One 3 1/2-pound sugar pumpkin, kabocha, or butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed (about 9 cups)
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, stems reserved
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 garlic cloves, very thinly sliced
Pinch cayenne pepper
Freshly grated nutmeg
2 teaspoons cornstarch
3 1/2 ounces Gruyère cheese, grated (1 heaping cup)
1/3 cup Japanese-style breadcrumbs (panko)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat the oil and butter. Add the onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until softened and starting to brown, 8 to 10 minutes, tossing occasionally. Transfer to a 3-quart gratin dish and add pumpkin, thyme leaves, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper and toss to combine. Roast until squash is soft, tossing halfway through, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine cream, reserved thyme stems, garlic, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, cayenne, and nutmeg. Bring to a simmer, whisk in cornstarch, and cook for 1 minute. Turn off heat, cover, and let steep about 30 minutes.
  • Once squash is tender, remove thyme stems from cream mixture and pour cream over squash. Sprinkle with cheese and then breadcrumbs. Return to oven and cook until cream is bubbling, 5 to 7 minutes. Broil until top is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality Gruyère cheese. The better the cheese, the better the gratin will be. Look for a Gruyère that is aged for at least 12 months and has a nutty, slightly sweet flavor.
  • Use fresh thyme. Fresh thyme is essential for adding flavor to the gratin. If you don't have fresh thyme, you can use dried thyme, but use half the amount.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes. The potatoes should be tender, but not mushy. Cook them until they are just starting to soften, about 10 minutes.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet. A heavy-bottomed skillet will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the gratin from burning.
  • Cook the gratin until it is golden brown and bubbly. This will take about 20 minutes.
  • Let the gratin rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Gruyère gratin with thyme is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, cheesy interior and crispy, golden brown crust, this gratin is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new side dish or main course, give this recipe a try!
