Time 2h15m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 small fennel bulbs
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons good olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 pounds russet potatoes (4 large potatoes)
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 1/2 cups grated Gruyère cheese (1/2 pound)
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Butter the inside of a 10-by-15-by-2-inch (10-cup) baking dish.
  • Remove the stalks from the fennel and cut the bulbs in half lengthwise. Remove the cores and thinly slice the bulbs crosswise, making approximately 4 cups of sliced fennel. Saute the fennel and onions in the olive oil and butter on medium-low heat for 15 minutes, until tender.
  • Peel the potatoes, then thinly slice them by hand or with a mandoline. Mix the sliced potatoes in a large bowl with 2 cups of cream, 2 cups of Gruyère, salt, and pepper. Add the sauteed fennel and onion and mix well.
  • Pour the potatoes into the baking dish. Press down to smooth the potatoes. Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of cream and 1/2 cup of Gruyère and sprinkle on the top. Bake for 1 1/2 hours, until the potatoes are very tender and the top is browned and bubbly. Allow to set for 10 minutes and serve.

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
3 cups thinly sliced onions (about 2)
1 pound mushrooms, sliced
1 teaspoon fennel seeds, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
3 cups whole milk
1 cup whipping cream
10 ounces soft fresh goat cheese (such as Montrachet), crumbled
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, unpeeled, very thinly sliced
4 cups very thinly sliced cored fennel bulbs (about 2 pounds), fronds chopped and reserved
Paprika

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly oil 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until golden, about 15 minutes. Add mushrooms and fennel seeds and sauté until mushrooms are brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in garlic, then flour.
  • Gradually stir milk and cream into mushroom mixture. Simmer over medium heat until sauce thickens slightly, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add half of goat cheese, 1/3 cup Parmesan, salt and pepper. Stir until goat cheese melts, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  • Mix potatoes, sliced fennel and mushroom mixture in large bowl. Transfer to prepared baking dish. Cover dish with foil. Bake until potatoes are almost tender, about 1 hour. Sprinkle with remaining goat cheese and 2 tablespoons Parmesan, then paprika. Bake uncovered until vegetables are very tender, about 30 minutes longer. Remove from oven; let stand 15 minutes. Top with reserved chopped fennel fronds.

Tips:

  • Use a mandoline or food processor to thinly slice the potatoes and fennel. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the fennel. Cook it in batches if necessary, to prevent steaming.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven or skillet to ensure even cooking and prevent hot spots.
  • Don't stir the potatoes too often while they're cooking. This will break them up and prevent them from forming a nice crust.
  • Use a combination of heavy cream and milk for a richer, creamier sauce.
  • Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

Conclusion:

Scalloped potatoes with caramelized fennel is a delicious and elegant side dish that's perfect for any occasion. With its creamy sauce, tender potatoes, and caramelized fennel, this dish is sure to impress your guests.
