CREAMY AU GRATIN POTATOES



Creamy Au Gratin Potatoes image

This is my husband's favorite dish, and he considers it a special occasion every time I make it. The creamy cheese sauce and the tender potatoes in this classic French dish combine to make a deliciously addictive experience. It's a great side dish with a roast pork loin or beef tenderloin. Add a green salad and French bread, and you have found the magic path to a man's heart. To avoid lumps in your sauce, add the milk just a little at a time as you stir the flour and butter. Experiment with different cheeses for variety.

AU GRATIN POTATOES, VERY EASY



Au Gratin Potatoes, Very Easy image

This is a good beginners recipe. The white sauce is the beginning of literally hundreds of recipes, when you add the cheese to it you have a cheese sauce that also doubles as a sauce for mac and cheese. You can put literally any combination of cheeses, I have seen professional chefs put 4 and 5 different cheeses in their sauce. I usualy just use cheddar, but everyone has their own favorites. I like the addition of mustard if it is a cheese sauce, for just a white sauce you could leave it out.

Provided by Jane Whittaker @janenov46

Categories     Potatoes

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 large potatoes, russets work well here
1 medium onion
2 tablespoon(s) butter, please don't subsitute
2 tablespoon(s) all purpose flour
2 cup(s) whole milk (yes you can use reduced calorie, but it is not as good)
1/2 teaspoon(s) each salt and pepper , or to taste
1 teaspoon(s) dry mustard ( this is optional, like this in the cheese version)
8 ounce(s) grated cheese, i like sharp cheddar, but any combo you like is just fine
1/4 teaspoon(s) paprika, for garnish

Steps:

  • Peel the potatoes and onions. Slice both potatoes and onions in half lengthwise and slice thinly, you want the slices to look like half moons.
  • Put the potatoes and onions in a sauce pan, cover with cold water, and cook until fork tender. You don't want the potatoes mushy, after all you are going to bake them too.
  • Pour potatoes and onions into a drainer.
  • Meanwhile while the potatoes and onions cook make your sauce.
  • Melt the butter, and stir in the flour with a spatula. A spatula for a cream sauce makes a lot of sense and is more efficient than a spoon. Continue stiring to make a paste, let cook a minute to cook out the flour taste. Add the salt, pepper, and mustard.
  • Stir in the milk a little at a time. stirring to make smooth. Continue to cook until the sauce starts to bubble and thicken. Watch it keep stirring, and don't walk away. Congradulations beginner!!!! You have just made a white sauce, one of the mother sauces. You will never know how thick your sauce is until it comes to a boil.
  • Now stir in the cheese, take off heat and continue to stir until the cheese melts. Now you have a cheese sauce. This is also the sauce for mac and cheese
  • Spray a 8x8 inch casserole or gratin dish. Put half your potatoes in, cover with half the cheese sauce, put in the rest of the potatoes and pour the rest of the sauce over.
  • Sprinkle with paprika, just for color.
  • Bake in a pre heated 350° oven for 45 minutes or until bubbly and browned

SOUR CREAM AU GRATIN POTATOES

Hi everyone! I have lived in the States for over 30 years, but my American husband and I moved to Norway almost 7 years ago.

I don't know where or when I got it, but my 3 kids, who are now 34, 32 and 27 and all living in America, loved this when they were growing up, and still do! Try it! P.S. So happy to find this site! It is fantastic, and much fun! I've also submitted another recipe--one of my favorites , called TUNA-BROCCOLI BAKE, delicious and practically FAT-FREE! Check it out! I like this potato recipe as it is delicious and very, very simple to make.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses: A blend of cheeses, such as Gruyère, Parmesan, and cheddar, will create a rich and flavorful gratin.
  • Don't boil the potatoes: Boiling the potatoes will make them too soft and mushy. Instead, steam or roast them until they are tender but still hold their shape.
  • Use a shallow baking dish: This will help the potatoes cook evenly and prevent them from becoming too dry.
  • Don't overcook the gratin: The potatoes should be tender but still slightly firm. Overcooked potatoes will become dry and crumbly.
  • Serve the gratin immediately: Au gratin potatoes are best served hot and bubbly. Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or microwave.

Conclusion:

Au gratin potatoes are a classic French dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a crispy, cheesy crust and tender, flavorful potatoes, it's the perfect comfort food for any occasion. Whether you're serving it as a main course or a side dish, au gratin potatoes are sure to be a hit.
