POTATO, SPINACH, AND FETA GRATIN



Potato, Spinach, and Feta Gratin image

Categories     Milk/Cream     Egg     Potato     Side     Bake     Vegetarian     Casserole/Gratin     Feta     Spinach     Gourmet

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds russet (baking) potatoes (about 3 large)
2 pounds fresh spinach, washed well and the coarse stems discarded
1/2 pound Feta cheese
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
3 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Oil an 8-inch-square (2-quart) baking dish lightly, line it with wax paper, and oil the paper lightly. Peel the potatoes and food processor fitted with a 2-mm. slicing disk slice the potatoes crosswise. (Alternatively, the potatoes may be sliced thin with a hand-held slicing device.) In a kettle of salted boiling water boil the potatoes for 7 minutes, or until they are just tender, drain them in a colander, and rinse them briefly under cold water. In the kettle cook the spinach in the water clinging to the leaves, covered, over high heat, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes, or until it is wilted, drain it, and refresh it under cold water. Squeeze the water from the spinach by wringing it by handfuls in a kitchen towel, transfer it to the food processor fitted with the metal blade, and add the Feta. In a bowl whisk together well the half-and-half, the eggs, the salt, and the pepper, add half the custard to the spinach mixture, and pulse the motor of the processor until the mixture is coarse.
  • Transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking dish and spread them in an evenly layer. Pour the remaining custard over the potatoes, shaking the dish slightly to distribute the custard evenly, and top the potatoes with the spinach mixture, smoothing the top. bake the gratin in the middle of the oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until it is set in the middle, and let cool on a rack for 30 minutes. Run a knife around the side of the dish, invert the gratin onto a flameproof plate, and peel off the wax paper. Broil the gratin under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 10 to 15 minutes, or until top is golden brown, and serve it cut into squares.

CREAMY COD AND POTATO GRATIN



Creamy Cod and Potato Gratin image

I got a Food Wish for a classic creamed cod recently (which, by the way, was one of my childhood favorites), but instead of doing the traditional version, I decided I'd try to make it a little bit fancier and refined and present basically all the same ingredients, but in an individual-sized, beautifully browned and bubbling, gratin form. Not to spoil the ending, but I was very happy with how this came out!

Provided by Chef John

Time 1h20m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
2 (6 ounce) fillets cod
2 pinches cayenne pepper, divided, or to taste
salt to taste
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
1 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
2 teaspoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a large pot of well-salted water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer gently until tender, about 20 minutes.
  • While potatoes simmer, trim, bone, and cut the cod fillets across into 2-inch pieces.
  • Drain potatoes well and return to the pot. Add a pinch of cayenne, salt, and 4 tablespoons butter. Mash until smooth.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease 2 individual-sized casserole or baking dishes with 1 tablespoon butter. Place both dishes on a baking sheet.
  • Transfer about 2/3 cup of the mashed potatoes into each of the prepared dishes. Smooth out evenly and make a shallow depression with a spoon down the middle. Set aside.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a deep 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the shallots in the hot butter with a pinch of salt until they just start to turn golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Add cream, lemon zest, and a pinch of cayenne, and bring to a simmer. Add cod and wait for the sauce to come back to a simmer. Cook for 1 minute, while basting with the sauce; turn and cook for 1 minute more.
  • Pour in lemon juice and turn off the heat; stir for about 30 seconds.
  • Divide the pieces of cod over the potato. Add enough sauce to just cover the fish and return the pan to the stove.
  • Bring sauce to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the sauce reduces and thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in tarragon.
  • Spoon the thickened sauce over the cod. Add a light dusting of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until cod is cooked through and the sauce is browned and bubbling, 10 to 15 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach. Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it and squeeze out all the excess water before using it.
  • Don't overcook the spinach. Spinach cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked spinach will be mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use high-quality cheese. The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in this dish, so be sure to use a high-quality cheese that you enjoy. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese are both good options.
  • Don't skimp on the butter. Butter adds richness and flavor to this dish, so don't be afraid to use a generous amount. You can also use a mixture of butter and olive oil if you prefer.
  • Serve immediately. This dish is best served immediately after it's made. The potatoes will be crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, and the cheese will be melted and gooey.

Conclusion:

Spinach and potatoes au gratin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover spinach, and it's also a great side dish for chicken, fish, or steak. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy recipe to try, give spinach and potatoes au gratin a try. You won't be disappointed!
