MASHED POTATO AND RUTABAGA GRATIN
Steps:
- Butter an 8x11-inch baking dish and set aside. Put the potatoes and rutabaga in a 5- to 6-quart saucepan or Dutch oven and cover with cool water by about 1 inch (the rutabaga will float to the top). Add 1/2 tsp. salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, cover partially, and cook until the potatoes are very tender and the rutabaga is soft, about 25 minutes. Drain the vegetables and return them to the pot. Set over medium heat for a minute or two, shaking and stirring to rid them of excess moisture and steam. Transfer the vegetables to a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or use a large mixing bowl and an electric hand mixer). On low speed, break up the vegetables until the potatoes are smooth and there are small chunks of rutabaga in the mixture. Gradually add the cream cheese, increase the speed to medium, and beat until absorbed. Gradually add the butter and beat until absorbed. Add the mustard and half of the pecorino and beat until combined. If the purée seems too dry, add enough milk to make it light and fluffy but not wet. (You may not need to use any milk.) Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer the mash to the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Serve Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 375°F. If the gratin was made assembled ahead and refrigerated, let it sit at room temperature while the oven heats. Bake uncovered until heated though and the top is golden, about 40 minutes for a refrigerated gratin or about 20 minutes for a freshly made gratin. Let sit for 15 minutes before serving.
GOAT CHEESE MASHED POTATO GRATIN
Steps:
- In a large saucepan combine the potatoes, peeded and cut into 1 1/2 to 2 inch pieces, and the garlic with enough salted water to cover the potatoes by 1/2 inch and simmer them, covered for 15 to 25 minutes, or until they are tender but not falling apart. While the potates are cooking, in a small saucepan heat the cream with the butter, the goat cheese and salt and pepper to taste over moderately low heat, stirring, until the butter and cheese are just melted and smooth and keep the mixture warm. Drain the potatoes and garlic and force them ghrough a food mill fitted with the medium disc or a ricer into a bowl. with an electric mixer beat in the butter mixture, scallion, and salt and pepper to taste, beating just until the potatoes are fluffy and smooth (do not over-beat), and transfer the mixture to a 1-quart shallow flameproof baking dish. The potatoes may be prepared up to this point 2 days in advance and kept covered and chilled. Reheat the potatoes in a preheated 400 degree oven for 20 minutes or until they are heated through, before broiling them. Broil the potatoes under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the top is golden.
