Creamy Au Gratin Potatoes image

This is my husband's favorite dish, and he considers it a special occasion every time I make it. The creamy cheese sauce and the tender potatoes in this classic French dish combine to make a deliciously addictive experience. It's a great side dish with a roast pork loin or beef tenderloin. Add a green salad and French bread, and you have found the magic path to a man's heart. To avoid lumps in your sauce, add the milk just a little at a time as you stir the flour and butter. Experiment with different cheeses for variety.

POTATO-CHEDDAR SOUP WITH QUICK-PICKLED JALAPEñOS



Potato-Cheddar Soup With Quick-Pickled Jalapeños image

If cheesy mashed potatoes became a cozy soup, it would be this. It's rich but not excessive, hearty but not heavy, and spiked with a little chili powder and some garlic to liven it up. The homemade pickled jalapeños give this a bright tang that perks up every creamy bite. Quick and easy to make, the jalapeños are leagues better than anything in a jar, and leftovers are excellent in sandwiches or scrambled into eggs.

Categories     soups and stews, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 jalapeños
2 limes, halved
Kosher salt and black pepper
Large pinch of granulated sugar or a drop of honey
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large Spanish or white onion, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon chili powder, plus more for garnish
2 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 quart vegetable broth
2 cups grated Cheddar (8 ounces), plus more for garnish
1 cup half-and-half, or use 1/2 cup whole milk and 1/2 cup heavy cream
3 scallions, white and light green parts, thinly sliced
Chopped cilantro, for serving

Steps:

  • Thinly slice the jalapeños, discarding the seeds if you like. Put slices in a bowl and squeeze in enough lime juice to cover them. Add a pinch each of salt and sugar. Let sit at room temperature while you make the soup. (The jalapeños can be prepared up to 5 days ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator; they get softer and more pickle-y as they sit.)
  • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add onion, celery and a large pinch of salt, and sauté until lightly golden and soft, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and chili powder and sauté until fragrant, 1 minute.
  • Add potatoes, broth and 2 teaspoons salt, and bring to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are very tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Using an immersion blender or transferring the soup to a regular blender in batches, purée the soup, adding some water as needed to thin it out. (The soup can be as thick or brothy as you like.)
  • Return the soup to the pot if you removed it and reduce heat to medium-low. Add cheese and half-and-half, and cook at a very gentle simmer, stirring, until the cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
  • Top each bowl with pickled jalapeños, plus a drizzle of their pickling liquid and a pinch of chili powder, along with scallions, cilantro and more Cheddar.

JALAPENO POTATOES



Jalapeno Potatoes image

Wonderful cheesy flavor with a slight kick from the jalapenos. The pimiento and jalapenos add a nice color contrast to the pale orange sauce. Use your discretion with the amount of jalapenos. You can also sub 1/8 to 1/4 cup chopped hot mixed peppers. It's best to use a waxy-type potato so they will keep their shape.

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables

Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 boiling potatoes
2 cups milk
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 (4 ounce) can diced jalapeno peppers
1 (2 ounce) jar chopped pimentos, drained

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil; cook the potatoes in the boiling water until just tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Drain and allow to cool to the touch before peeling and slicing thin. Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl.
  • Pour the milk into a saucepan over medium heat; gradually whisk the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder into the warming milk until smooth. Continue heating and stirring until the liquid is boiling and thickened. Add the Cheddar cheese and jalapeno peppers; cook and stir until the cheese is completely melted. Pour the sauce over the potatoes. Scatter the pimentos over the mixture; pour into the prepared dish.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for this recipe because they hold their shape well and have a fluffy texture. If you use a different type of potato, adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Slice the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Use a mandoline or a sharp knife to slice the potatoes to a uniform thickness.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the potatoes, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Season the potatoes well: Before you bake the potatoes, season them with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the gratin. Use a sharp cheddar cheese that melts well.
  • Don't overcook the gratin: The gratin is done when the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Overcooking will make the potatoes dry and tough.

Conclusion:

Jalapeno Cheddar Gratin Potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of creamy potatoes, melted cheese, and spicy jalapenos is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a new side dish to try, give these potatoes a try.
