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.

FRENCH ONION SOUP POTATO GRATIN



French Onion Soup Potato Gratin image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, wrapper reserved
5 large Spanish onions, sliced about 1/4 inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
About 3/4 cup beef stock
2 tablespoons sherry
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound Gruyere, shredded
8 ounces mozzarella, shredded
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 1/4 cups beef stock
One 4 1/2-ounce bag premade croutons, lightly crushed
One 3 1/2-ounce bag French fried onions

Steps:

  • For the caramelized onions: In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Once melted and bubbling, add a large handful of the onions and cook until translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat until all the onions have been added. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions turn medium brown, about 30 minutes. If the onions start to get too dark, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of beef stock as necessary. Add the sherry to deglaze the pan. Add the mustard and stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • For the potato gratin: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, cut the potatoes into thin slices. Do your best to keep the potatoes in a stack--this will make it easier to layer them in the pan. Set the potatoes aside.
  • Use the reserved butter wrapper to lightly grease the bottom and sides of a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet. Discard the wrapper.
  • Arrange a thin shingled layer of potatoes in concentric circles around the skillet. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper, then arrange an even layer of caramelized onions on top of the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the Gruyere and mozzarella and reserve half for later use. Sprinkle on a layer of the remaining cheese mixture over the onions. Repeat the layers until all the ingredients (not including the reserved cheese) have been used. Press down firmly on the layers to flatten.
  • In a large bowl or measuring cup, combine the heavy cream and beef stock and pour over the gratin. Cover the skillet with foil and place on a sheet pan. Bake the potatoes, covered, until the top and edges have begun to brown and the potatoes are tender, 1 hour 15 to 1 hour 30 minutes. You can test by inserting a knife into the potatoes; if it goes in and comes out without resistance, then the potatoes are done.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven, remove the foil and turn the broiler on high. Combine the croutons and French fried onions. Cover the gratin with a layer of the crouton mixture followed by the remaining cheese. Broil until golden brown and bubbly, 5 to 8 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

PARMESAN-CRUSTED AU GRATIN POTATOES AND ONION



Parmesan-Crusted Au Gratin Potatoes and Onion image

Potatoes and onions mixed with a creamy cheese sauce and baked with a crispy cheese topping.

Provided by Tom Paull

Categories     Side Dish     Potato Side Dish Recipes     Potatoes Au Gratin Recipes

Time 1h15m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 pounds russet potatoes, cut into 1/4-inch slices
salt and ground black pepper to taste
6 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups whole milk
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 ½ cups shredded mild Cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Asiago cheese
1 sweet onion, sliced into rings
¾ cup sliced green onions
⅓ cup shaved Parmesan cheese
7 buttery round crackers (such as Ritz®), crushed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with water; add salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until just beginning to soften, 15 to 20 minutes; drain.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; add flour and whisk until the mixture thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour milk and heavy cream into the saucepan; cook and stir until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Melt Cheddar and Asiago cheese into the butter mixture; cook while stirring continually until the mixture is smooth and creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
  • Layer about half the sliced potatoes into the bottom of the baking dish. Top the potatoes with sweet onion slices and green onions; pour about 1/3 of the cheese sauce over the onions. Arrange the remaining potato slices into the dish; pour remaining cheese sauce over the potatoes. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and crushed crackers over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until hot in the center and beginning to brown at the edge, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle parsley over the top of the dish to serve.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of onions: Yellow, white, and red onions all have slightly different flavors, so using a mix of them will add depth to the dish.
  • Slice the onions thinly: This will help them cook evenly and caramelize more quickly.
  • Cook the onions slowly: Low and slow is the key to getting perfectly caramelized onions. Be patient and let them cook until they are soft and golden brown.
  • Use a good quality cheese: Gruyère is the classic choice for onion au gratin, but you can also use other types of cheese, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan.
  • Serve immediately: Onion au gratin is best when served hot and bubbly. If you have leftovers, you can reheat them in the oven or microwave.

Conclusion:

Onion au gratin is a classic French dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its rich, flavorful sauce, perfectly caramelized onions, and gooey melted cheese, it's the perfect comfort food for a cold winter night. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying dish to serve your family or friends, give onion au gratin a try!
