POTATOES AU GRATIN
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.

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.
Tips:
- To achieve a crispy skin, use a potato with a high starch content, such as a Russet potato.
- Scrub the potatoes thoroughly before baking to remove any dirt or debris.
- Prick the potatoes with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Brush the potatoes with oil or melted butter to help the skin crisp up.
- Bake the potatoes at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) for a crispy skin and a fluffy interior.
- To check if the potatoes are done, insert a fork or skewer into the center. If it goes in easily, the potatoes are done.
- Let the potatoes cool slightly before cutting them open to prevent the insides from falling out.
- Top the potatoes with your favorite toppings, such as butter, sour cream, cheese, chili, or salsa.
Conclusion:
Half-baked potatoes are a versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or a main course. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a crispy skin and a fluffy interior, half-baked potatoes are a delicious and satisfying meal.
