YUKON GOLD POTATOES AU GRATIN RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Yukon Gold Potatoes Au Gratin Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold Potatoes, cut* into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
A mandoline makes slicing the potatoes much easier. I also soak the potatoes in water, while doing my prep work, so that they don't turn brown.

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 1 1/2 quart baking dish with about 1 tablespoon of the softened butter. Arrange a layer of potatoes in the baking dish, and sprinkle some of the cheeses over them. Continue layering potatoes and cheeses until you've used them all, ending with a layer of potatoes. In a small bowl, whisk the cream and chicken stock with the salt and pepper; pour this over the potatoes. Dot the remaining butter over the top and sprinkle with the paprika. Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown on top. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

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.

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:

  • Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and create a smooth, creamy sauce.
  • Use a good quality cheese: Gruyère cheese is the traditional choice for au gratin potatoes, but you can also use other hard cheeses, such as Parmesan or Comté.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: They should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Serve immediately: Au gratin potatoes are best served hot out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Yukon Gold potatoes au gratin is a classic dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy texture, cheesy flavor, and golden brown crust, it is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
