Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 garlic clove, peeled, flattened
4 1/2 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes or white-skinned potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 1/8-inch-thick rounds
1/4 cup oil-cured black olives, pitted, chopped
1 1/4 cups crumbled Gorgonzola cheese (about 5 ounces)
2 medium fennel bulbs, trimmed, cored, cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips (about 3 cups)
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 cup hot whole milk
6 oil-cured black olives, pitted, halved
Tomato-Marjoram Sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Rub inside of 9x9x2-inch metal baking pan with garlic clove. Rub pan with 1/2 tablespoon butter. Cover bottom with 1/4 of potatoes, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle 1/3 of chopped olives over, then 1/4 of cheese. Top with 1/3 of fennel; sprinkle with salt and pepper and 1/3 of marjoram. Dot with 1 tablespoon butter. Repeat layering two more times. Top with remaining potatoes, then half of remaining cheese; dot with re-maining 1 tablespoon butter. Pour milk over; arrange halved olives atop. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover pan with foil.
  • Bake gratin until vegetables are almost tender, about 50 minutes. Remove foil; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake uncovered until potatoes are tender and golden, about 25 minutes longer. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm in 350°F oven until heated through, about 20 minutes.) Let gratin stand 15 minutes. Serve with Tomato-Marjoram Sauce.

This gratin is a great way to use up leftover potatoes. It's also a very versatile dish. You can add different vegetables, cheeses, or herbs to create your own unique flavor combinations.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my gratin turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked the potatoes.

I found this gratin to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

This gratin was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would use less gorgonzola next time.
