POTATO GRUYERE AU GRATIN



Potato Gruyere Au Gratin image

I got this recipe from a friend at work. Its rich and delicious. I like it so much better than other potato au gratin recipes. I leave the peels on the potatoes but, of course that is your choice. You can substitute Swiss cheese for the Gruyere if you like. I prefer the Gruyere. Picture is of unbaked sliced potatoes. I did not...

Provided by Kathie Carr

Categories     Potatoes

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lb potatoes, leave skins on or peel, and slice
6 oz gruyere cheese, shredded and divided
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 c milk
1 c heavy cream
1/4 tsp nutmeg or more to taste
2 green onions, finely sliced

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cook sliced potatoes in boiling water for about 5 minutes. Drain. Arrange 1/3 of the potatoes in a well buttered casserole dish. Sprinkle with 1/3 of cheese. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat with second 1/3 of potatoes, second 1/3 of cheese, salt and pepper. Add a top layer of potatoes. Set casserole aside.
  • 2. Stir together milk and cream in a medium saucepan. Heat just until mixture barely begins to boil. Remove from heat and whisk in nutmeg. Pour over potato mixture in casserole. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  • 3. Bake, uncovered, for about 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender and top is lightly browned. Garnish with chopped onion and serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: Use starchy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, which hold their shape well and become tender when baked.
  • Slice Potatoes Thinly: Aim for even slices about 1/8-inch thick. This ensures they cook evenly and create a creamy texture.
  • Layer Potatoes and Cheese Evenly: Create even layers of potatoes and cheese to ensure each bite has a balance of flavors and textures.
  • Use High-Quality Gruyère Cheese: Opt for a good quality Gruyère cheese that melts well and has a nutty, slightly sweet flavor.
  • Season Wisely: Don't overpower the delicate flavors of potatoes and cheese with too much seasoning. Garlic, nutmeg, and black pepper are classic choices.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown: Keep an eye on the gratin while baking. The top should be golden brown and slightly crispy, while the center should be creamy and tender.

Conclusion:

Gruyère potato gratin is a classic French dish that combines simple ingredients to create a flavorful and comforting dish.
