Luxe French Potatoes image

We combined the rich and indulgent cheesiness of Pommes Aligot and the beautifully swirled rosettes of Pommes Duchesse into one super-luxe casserole that looks fancy but is surprisingly simple to make.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, cut into 1 1/2" pieces
Kosher salt
4 garlic cloves, forced through a press or finely chopped
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
3/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
3/4 pound Gruyère, coarsely grated (about 4 cups)
1/2 pound fresh mozzarella, coarsely grated (about 1 1/2 cups)
Special equipment:
A 4-quart gratin or casserole dish; a potato ricer or food mill; a pastry bag fitted with a 3/4-inch star tip

Steps:

  • Place rack in middle of oven and preheat to 350°F. Place potatoes in a large wide heavy pot. Add 1 1/2 tsp. salt and enough cold water to cover by 2". Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes break apart when pierced with the tip of a knife, 35-40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook garlic, cream, and butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until butter is melted. Whisk in nutmeg, pepper, and 1 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. salt. Remove from heat.
  • Drain potatoes and immediately pass through potato ricer into a large bowl. Stir in cream mixture until smooth.
  • Return half of potato mixture to wide pot; reserve remaining potato mixture in bowl. Add Gruyère and mozzarella and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until cheese is melted and mixture can be stretched with the spoon (like warm mozzarella), about 10 minutes. Transfer to gratin dish; smooth top.
  • Working in batches if needed, spoon reserved potato mixture in bowl into pastry bag fitted with star tip. Pipe very tight rows of 1/2x1/2" rosettes on potato-cheese mixture in gratin dish. Bake until top is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

I'm not going to try this recipe. It looks like it would take forever to make.

This recipe is definitely not for beginners. It's too complicated and the instructions are unclear.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my potatoes turned out really dark and burnt.

These potatoes were a waste of time. They were soggy and flavorless.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my potatoes didn't turn out as crispy as I expected.

The potatoes were a bit bland. I think I'll add some more seasoning next time.

These potatoes were a little too crispy for my taste, but they were still good.

I've made these potatoes several times now and they are always a crowd-pleaser. They are so easy to make and they always turn out perfectly.

The potatoes were a hit with my family! They loved the crispy texture and the flavorful seasoning. I will definitely be making these again.

These potatoes were absolutely delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I served them with roasted chicken and green beans, and they were the perfect side dish.
