POTATO, BEETROOT AND SWEET POTATO GRATIN



Potato, Beetroot and Sweet Potato Gratin image

If you are looking for a sweet potato dish that looks beautiful and isn't loaded with brown sugar and marshmallows, this is it. From the Australian Women's Weekly. An excellent winter side dish with roast meat or as a vegetarian main course. I used lite evap instead of cream, and baked ricotta with chillies and rosemary. DH & I loved it-- the leftovers made a wonderful lunch to take to work. BTW, beetroot translates to red beets in the USA.

POTATO AND BEETROOT GRATIN



Potato and Beetroot Gratin image

We often get beetroot in our vegetable box in the winter, but it's not so popular with my family. I've found that everyone likes this recipe though. Don't be alarmed at the pinkness of this dish. Served with winter greens or spinach, this makes a very pretty vegetarian supper! From Tom Aikens 'Cooking'

Categories     Potato

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

500 ml double cream
3 garlic cloves, sliced
2 teaspoons dried thyme
750 g white potatoes (about 2 large)
350 g beetroots, peeled (about 3 medium)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 190 degrees C, Gas mark 5. Put cream garlic and thyme in saucepan and bring to a slow simmer over medium heat. Let garlic and thyme infuse about 10 minutes, pass through a sieve into a jug and set aside. Discard garlic and thyme.
  • Slice potatoes and beetroot as thin as possible (a mandolin is good for this, or the slicing blade on a food processor).
  • Pour a thin layer of cream into a deep 2 litre dish. (I use a souffle dish). Layer half the potatoes on top of the cream. Pour over more cream and season with salt and pepper. Add all the beetroot in 1 layer. Add more cream, season, and top with the rest of the potatoes. Pour over remaining cream and season one last time.
  • Bake in preheated oven 30-35 minutes or until golden and bubbling and top layer has just crisped up. (You may need to cover with foil halfway through cooking time to prevent top layer burning).

Tips:

  • For a crispier topping, use panko breadcrumbs instead of grated cheese.
  • To make the gratin ahead of time, assemble it and bake it for 30 minutes. Then, let it cool completely and refrigerate it for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat it in a 350°F oven for 20-30 minutes, or until heated through.
  • Feel free to experiment with different vegetables in this gratin. Some good options include carrots, parsnips, and turnips.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. Just note that the gratin may be a little less creamy.
  • Serve the gratin with a green salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

Potato and beetroot gratin is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is creamy, cheesy, and packed with flavor.
