GOAT CHEESE POTATO GRATIN RECIPE



Goat Cheese Potato Gratin Recipe image

This Goat Cheese Potato Gratin is a tangy twist on the classic cheesy potato gratin. Thin slices of yukon gold potatoes are layered with the goat cheese, nutty gruyere, and a béchamel and baked until bubbly and hot.

Provided by Adrianna Adarme

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes (peeled and thinly sliced with a mandolin or a knife)
1/4 cup unsalted butter
6 garlic cloves (peeled and minced )
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups whole milk
Kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
6 ounces Gruyère cheese (shredded and divided (1/4 cup of cheese set aside for the topping))
4 ounces goat cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Get a 9x13-inch baking dish (or something equivalent) and set it aside.
  • To the medium saucepan, set over medium heat, add the butter. When melted, add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the flour and stir until combined with the butter; cook for 1 minute. Pour in the milk and bring to a simmer, stirring frequently in order to prevent any lumps. Cook until mixture begins to bubble and thicken, about 5 minutes.
  • Turn the heat off and mix in the Gruyère cheese, leaving 1/4 cup for the top. Stir until melted. Give it a taste and add salt and pepper to your liking. I added about 2 teaspoons of salt and a teaspoon of freshly ground pepper.
  • To the baking dish, add an even layer of the potatoes. Add a few spoonfuls of the cheese sauce and top with a few dollops of goat cheese. Repeat until you've worked through all of the potatoes and cheese sauce. Cover with foil and transfer to the oven to bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and sprinkle the last bit of cheese on top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until golden brown.

POTATOES AU GRATIN



Potatoes au Gratin image

The humble potato gets the red carpet treatment in this easy yet luxurious recipe for potatoes au gratin. Sliced Yukon Gold or russet potatoes (you can use either, but don't use a combination as they cook at different rates) are layered with half-and-half or heavy cream, topped with butter and grated cheese, then baked until golden and bubbly. Feel free to play around: Add leeks, onions, garlic or more cheese between the layers. Experiment with fresh or dried herbs. It's incredibly adaptable and practically foolproof. Just don't forget to season with salt and pepper as you go. Like all potato dishes, it needs plenty of seasoning.

Categories     dinner, casseroles, vegetables, side dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 to 4 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 to 3 cups half-and-half or heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan or Gruyère
Pinch of nutmeg (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Seasoning each layer with salt and pepper as you go, layer the potatoes in a 10- or 12-inch ovenproof skillet.
  • Dot the top with 2 tablespoons butter. Pour in half-and-half. (It should come about 3/4 of the way to the top.)
  • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to low and cook for 10 minutes, uncovered, until the half-and-half has reduced by about half.
  • Transfer to the oven and bake until the top is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 300 degrees and cook until the potatoes are fork tender and the top is nicely browned, about 8 minutes more. Top with grated cheese and return to the oven until the cheese is melty and golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with a pinch of nutmeg, if using, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Yukon Gold potatoes, Gorgonzola cheese, goat cheese, heavy cream, butter, and chicken broth.
  • Slice potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Cook the potatoes until tender: But not mushy. You should be able to pierce them easily with a fork, but they should still hold their shape.
  • Make sure to grate the cheese finely: This will help it melt evenly and smoothly.
  • Layer the potatoes and cheese in a casserole dish: Start with a layer of potatoes, then a layer of cheese, and repeat. End with a layer of cheese.
  • Bake the gratin until golden brown and bubbly: This usually takes about 30 minutes.
  • Let the gratin cool slightly before serving: This will help it set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Yukon Gold Potato, Gorgonzola, and Goat Cheese Gratin is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It's perfect for special occasions or everyday meals. This gratin is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
