Purple Potato Gratin image

I have two pounds of purple potatoes from our local co-op and wanted to find some recipes to use them in. This recipe is from eatingoutloud.com and I will be making it soon.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups milk
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons flour
2/3 cup cheddar cheese, grated
2 lbs purple potatoes, unpeeled and sliced thinly
1 cup shallot, sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 slices bacon
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Begin by making the gratin sauce. In a small pan place the butter and melt. Over medium heat add the flour and stir to combine, approximately one minute. Slowly whisk in the milk and stir until thickened. Add cheese and when melted remove pan from heat. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add the olive oil to a frying pan and heat. Add shallots and saute until slightly brown and caramelized. Remove from the pan and set aside. Place bacon in same skillet and cook through but do not let bacon get crispy. Remove from pan and cut into one inch pieces.
  • Grease a gratin dish or shallow baking dish and add one half of the sliced potatoes. Sprinkle the shallots over the potatoes and then add the remaining potato slices. Pour the gratin sauce over the potatoes and spoon into visible cracks and crevices. Top with parmesan cheese and bacon. Bake for 40 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven. Serve immediately.

This dish was a bit too heavy for my taste, but I think that's just because I'm not a big fan of cheese.

The gratin was a little bland for my taste, but I think that's just because I didn't season it enough. Next time I'll add more salt and pepper.

I didn't have any purple potatoes on hand, so I used regular Yukon Gold potatoes instead. It still turned out great!

The gratin was a bit too rich for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. It was still very good and I would recommend it to others.

I've never cooked with purple potatoes before, but I'm so glad I tried this recipe. They have a slightly nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the cheese and cream.
