Categories     side-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups heavy cream
2 cups whole milk
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large Yukon gold potatoes (about 2 1/2 pounds; see Cook's Note)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 large cloves garlic, minced
2 cups grated Gruyere cheese
1 1/2 cups finely grated Parmesan
2 sprigs fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Add the cream and milk to a large saucepan over medium-low heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the nutmeg, a big pinch of salt and some pepper. Meanwhile, slice the potatoes on a mandoline to 1/8-inch thick. Place the potatoes in the warm cream mixture and simmer gently until the potatoes are two-thirds of the way cooked and the cream has thickened, about 15 minutes.
  • Place a 9-by-12-inch flameproof gratin dish on the stove over low heat. Brush the bottom and the sides with the melted butter. Spread the garlic around the bottom of the dish. Cook just long enough to toast the garlic in the butter, 3 to 4 minutes. Add a layer of the potato mixture. Combine the Gruyere and Parmesan in a bowl, then sprinkle a third of the cheese over the potatoes. Repeat the layering 2 more times, finishing with the remaining cheese. Pick the thyme leaves and sprinkle over the top, mixing with last layer of cheese. Place the gratin dish on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until bubbly and golden, 45 to 50 minutes (see Cook's Note).

MEAT AND POTATO SKILLET GRATIN



Meat and Potato Skillet Gratin image

This hearty, wintry dish is a cross between a shepherd's pie and potato gratin. It's got a layer of browned ground beef spiked with onions, sage and spinach on the bottom, with a luscious, cheese- and cream-slathered root vegetable topping that turns golden and crisp-edged in the oven. If you aren't a rutabaga fan, you can use all potatoes, or a combination of white and sweet potatoes. This gratin reheats very well, so feel free to make it ahead and reheat it uncovered in a 350-degree oven. And although it qualifies as a one-pan meal (with meat, green vegetable and starch altogether), a fresh and tangy green salad on the side would round things out nicely.

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 garlic cloves
1 cup heavy cream
2 thyme branches
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, more as needed
1 pound ground lean beef
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, more as needed
Black pepper, as needed
1 cup thinly sliced onion
3 ounces baby spinach (3 packed cups)
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 pound rutabaga
1/2 pound russet potatoes
4 ounces Gruyère, grated (1 cup)

Steps:

  • Crush and peel 2 garlic cloves. In a small pot over medium heat, combine cream, the crushed garlic, the thyme and 1/2 tablespoon sage. Bring to a simmer; cook until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 30 minutes. Strain and cool.
  • While cream cools, heat oil in an ovenproof 10-inch skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add half the beef and brown well, crumbling with a fork as it cooks. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; transfer meat to a paper-towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining meat, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the pepper.
  • Add onion to pan drippings (drizzle with oil if pan seems dry). Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender and golden, about 10 minutes. Peel and chop remaining 2 garlic cloves; add to pan with remaining sage. Return meat to skillet. Toss in spinach, a handful at a time, until wilted. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, the Worcestershire and pepper to taste.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Peel rutabaga and cut in half. Slice each half crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Peel potatoes and cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Layer half the rutabaga and potato slices over meat, alternating between rutabaga and potato, with slices overlapping one another. Season lightly with salt and pepper; top with half the cheese. Repeat with remaining vegetables and cheese. Spoon reduced cream evenly over top.
  • Cover pan tightly with foil and bake until vegetables are very tender, 60 to 75 minutes. Uncover and cook until golden brown, about 10 minutes more. Cool 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you do, the potatoes will not cook evenly.
  • Be patient when cooking the potatoes. They will take some time to brown and crisp.
  • Use a good quality cheese that melts well. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese would be a good choice.
  • Serve the skillet gratin immediately after it comes out of the oven. It is best enjoyed when it is hot and bubbly.

This meat and potato skillet gratin is a hearty and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste.
