Number Of Ingredients 7

46 ounces medium-sized potatoes, peeled
1 cup milk

Steps:

  • Remove the rest of the potatoes from the pan and set them aside.
  • Remove the garlic cloves from the pan and pour about half of the cream mixture evenly over the top of the potatoes in the oven dish.
  • Sprinkle salt and pepper over the potatoes, then sprinkle half of the grated cheese evenly over the top.
  • Add the remaining potatoes on top in another layer, then add the cream, salt and pepper, and cheese once again.
  • Bake the potatoes for 45 to 50 minutes, or until they are bubbling and golden on the top.
  • Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for several minutes, then serve, optionally sprinkled with fresh chives.

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Supper

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

a few knobs of butter , plus extra for greasing
4-5 thyme sprigs
200g gruyère , grated
100g parmesan (or vegetarian alternative), finely grated
500ml pot double cream
300ml vegetable or chicken stock
1 ½kg large potatoes , thinly sliced (on a mandolin if you have one)
8 round shallots or 4 banana shallots, thinly sliced
3 fat garlic cloves , finely chopped
100g walnuts , chopped
650g mixed tomatoes , sliced
5 tbsp dried breadcrumbs

  • Start layering up the sliced potatoes with sprinklings of the shallots, garlic, thyme leaves, cheese and most of the walnuts, plus plenty of seasoning. Drizzle a little of the cream mixture over each layer too. When you've layered in half of those ingredients, top with half of the tomatoes. Continue layering the rest of the ingredients, finishing with the last of the cream. Top with the remaining tomatoes, then sprinkle over the breadcrumbs, the remaining parmesan and walnuts, and enough thyme to look pretty. Add a few more knobs of butter, then cover with foil.
  • Bake the gratin for 1 hr 15 mins, then remove the foil and bake for a further 40 mins until golden and crispy on top, and a knife poked into the centre of the potatoes slides in easily. Leave to rest for 10-15 mins, then serve.

GRUYèRE POTATO GRATIN



Gruyère Potato Gratin image

Categories     Cheese     Dairy     Egg     Potato     Side     Bake     Quick & Easy     Casserole/Gratin     Winter     Gourmet     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Serves 2 generously

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound large red potatoes
3/4 cup coarsely grated Gruyère (about 3 ounces)
1 large egg
1 cup milk, heated just to boiling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. and butter a 1 1/2-quart gratin or shallow baking dish.
  • Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Peel potatoes and cut into thin slices (about 1/8-inch thick). Add potatoes to boiling water and parcook 4 minutes. Drain potatoes well in a colander.
  • In gratin or baking dish arrange potatoes, overlapping them, in 3 layers, sprinkling first two layers each with 1/4 cup Gruyère and salt and pepper to taste.
  • In a small bowl whisk egg and add hot milk in a stream, whisking. Season mixture with salt and pepper and pour evenly over potatoes. Sprinkle potatoes with remaining 1/4 cup cheese and bake 30 minutes, or until top is golden and potatoes are tender.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Starchy potatoes like Yukon Gold, Russet, or Idaho are ideal for potato gratin because they hold their shape well and become creamy when cooked.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly and evenly: This will ensure even cooking and a uniform texture in your gratin.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish: Make sure there's enough space between the potato slices so that they can cook evenly and get a nice golden crust.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: Gruyère is a classic choice for potato gratin, but you can also use other flavorful cheeses like cheddar, Parmesan, or Gouda.
  • Don't skimp on the butter: Butter adds richness and flavor to the gratin, so don't be afraid to use a generous amount.
  • Bake the gratin until it's golden brown and bubbly: This will ensure that it's cooked through and has a delicious crust.

Conclusion:

Potato gratin is a classic French dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy, cheesy, and flavorful potato layers, potato gratin is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a comforting and delicious side dish, give potato gratin a try. You won't be disappointed!
