Time 1h25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced on a mandoline
2 cups heavy cream
6 ounces smoky blue cheese, preferably Moody Blues brand
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Peel and thinly slice sweet potatoes on a mandoline; set aside. Heat heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat, and add the cheese so it slowly melts into the cream. Mix in brown sugar, salt, and red pepper flakes; bring to a low simmer to incorporate all of the ingredients, 5-10 minutes. Butter the baking dish and evenly layer a quarter of the sweet potatoes along the bottom, then lightly sprinkle with salt.
  • When the sauce is ready, pour a quarter of it over the sweet potatoes. Repeat the potato/sauce layering three more times until all of the ingredients are in the baking dish. Cover with foil and cook for 40 minutes. Remove foil and broil to brown the top, 5 minutes. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

SWEET POTATO AND GRUYèRE GRATIN



Sweet Potato and Gruyère Gratin image

This rich, cheese-laden gratin is a more savory take on the usual Thanksgiving sweet potato casserole, with sage and rosemary giving it an herbal bite. If you'd like to make it partway ahead, you can peel and slice the potatoes the day before; store in a sealable plastic bag in the fridge. You can also simmer the cream mixture (don't add eggs) and grate the cheese the day before as well, storing them covered in the refrigerator.

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, for pan and foil
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
2 cups heavy cream (or half-and-half)
3 tablespoons fresh sage, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
3 fat cloves garlic, grated or minced
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 pounds sweet potatoes (about 4 large or 5 medium), peeled
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 2/3 cups/6 1/2 ounces grated Gruyère

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees and generously butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan or shallow gratin dish. Butter a piece of foil large enough to cover top of pan. Sprinkle Parmesan all over bottom of pan.
  • In a medium pot, bring cream, sage, rosemary, garlic, nutmeg and a pinch of salt to a simmer. Simmer until reduced by 1/4, about 10 minutes.
  • In a large, heatproof bowl, whisk eggs just enough to break them up. Slowly pour hot cream into eggs to combine, whisking while pouring, and reserve the mixture.
  • Meanwhile, using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch-thick rounds.
  • Place 1 layer of potatoes in the pan, slightly overlapping as you go, using about a third of the slices. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste, then pour 1/3 of the egg mixture over potatoes. Top with 1/2 cup Gruyère. Repeat with another layer of potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, pepper and 1/3 egg mixture. Top with 1/2 cup Gruyère. Top with remaining potatoes, 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper to taste, and remaining egg mixture (but not the remaining cheese). Press down to compact the potatoes. Cover with foil and bake until potatoes are tender, about 40 minutes, then remove foil, sprinkle top with remaining 2/3 cup Gruyère and bake until browned and bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly, then serve.

BLUE CHEESE POTATOES AU GRATIN



Blue Cheese Potatoes Au Gratin image

© Larry Ervin - http://french-cooking-techniques.suite101.com/article.cfm/blue_cheese_potatoes_au_gratin This easy recipe elevates everyday au gratin potatoes to a dish you'll be proud to serve to company or take to the next potluck. A bain-marie (water bath) does the trick. Get beyond bland au gratin potatoes. Blue cheese is the secret ingredient. Bleu d'Auvergne is a great one, but any good blue-veined cheese will serve well. This easy recipe employs a water bath technique that ensures perfect results. I have altered the original recipe slightly to my liking. I recommend serving this with Recipe 24623 - http://www.recipezaar.com/24623

Categories     Potato

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 cups, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons butter
2 eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup bleu d'auvergne cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
3 large russet potatoes, peeled and sliced very thin

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • You need a 7x11 baking pan plus a larger one with 2 sides for the water bath.
  • Put some water on to boil -- the amount depends on your pans. You'll need enough to fill the larger baking pan with about an inch of water when the smaller pan is in place.
  • Butter the smaller baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, mix the eggs, cream and cheeses until well blended.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary. Both cheeses are usually quite salty so watch the amount of salt you use.
  • Fold the sliced potatoes into the cheese mixture.
  • Spread the mixture into the buttered pan and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Place the pan with the potatoes in the larger pan and set it on the oven shelf.
  • Carefully pour hot water into the outer pan so that the water is about an inch deep.
  • Bake one hour.
  • Remove the cover and bake until the top is golden brown, about 15 minutes.
