POTATO LEEK GRATIN



Potato Leek Gratin image

Layer thinly sliced potatoes in a gratin dish, and then take your time sautéing the leeks, letting them turn a little golden and crisp around the edges, which brings out their sweetness. Add the leeks to the potatoes, and using the same pan in which you cooked the leeks, scrape up the brown bits at the bottom of the pan with a mix of cream, garlic, thyme and nutmeg, pouring that over the potatoes and leeks.

SCALLOPED POTATOES



Scalloped Potatoes image

This recipe comes from Cheryl Rogowski, whose family has been farming the rich black earth on their patch of Orange County, N.Y., for more than 50 years. They started growing Keuka Golds because the two best-known potatoes in the country - russets and Yukon Golds - did not grow well there. Keukas have yellow flesh, rich flavor and pale skin like Yukons, but they can handle the region's drastic temperature swings, short growing season, divergent soils and uneven rainfall. For this dish, Yukons work equally well.
