Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Vegetables & Sides

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

Butter to grease the baking dish
2½ pounds Russet potatoes (3 to 4), peeled and sliced very thin
1½ teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup (4 oz) finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
2¼ cups heavy cream
Fresh thyme, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Grease an 8-inch (or 2-quart) baking dish with butter.
  • In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with the salt and pepper until evenly coated.
  • Arrange some of the potato slices, edges overlapping, in a single layer on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle a quarter of the cheese over the potatoes, and then pour a quarter of the cream over the cheese. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, cheese, and cream, forming 4 layers. Pour any leftover cream over top.
  • Place in the oven and bake, uncovered, for 60 to 75 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife and golden brown on top. Let the dish settle on the counter for about ten minutes. Sprinkle with fresh thyme, if using, and then serve.
  • Make Ahead: This dish can be assembled a day ahead; cover tightly with plastic wrap (pressing the wrap directly against the potatoes so they don't discolor), store in the refrigerator, and bake before serving. The potatoes on top will still discolor a bit in the fridge, but it shouldn't be noticeable after baking.

CREAMY AU GRATIN POTATOES



Creamy Au Gratin Potatoes image

This is my husband's favorite dish, and he considers it a special occasion every time I make it. The creamy cheese sauce and the tender potatoes in this classic French dish combine to make a deliciously addictive experience. It's a great side dish with a roast pork loin or beef tenderloin. Add a green salad and French bread, and you have found the magic path to a man's heart. To avoid lumps in your sauce, add the milk just a little at a time as you stir the flour and butter. Experiment with different cheeses for variety.

Tips:

  • For a crispy potato crust, use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes and cut them into thin, even slices.
  • Soak the potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes before assembling the gratin to remove excess starch and help them cook evenly.
  • Use a combination of cheeses for a richer flavor. Gruyère, Parmesan, and cheddar are all good options.
  • Grate the cheese fresh for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the gratin, or it will become dense and heavy.
  • Bake the gratin until it is golden brown and bubbly.
  • Let the gratin cool slightly before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

This rich and creamy potato bake is the perfect comfort food for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its crispy potato crust, creamy cheese sauce, and savory herbs, this gratin is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
