CLASSIC POMMES BOULANGèRE - FRENCH GRATIN POTATOES



Classic Pommes Boulangère - French Gratin Potatoes image

This classic French potato gratin dish literally translates as "Potatoes in the Style of the Baker's wife". The story is, that in the past, a French family would prepare these potatoes and then take them to the local boulangerie, the baker, to be cooked in the even heat of his oven, hence the name. Any sort of good quality stock will do, chicken, lamb, beef or vegetable. For a richer taste, a ratio of 50% hot stock and hot milk/cream can be used. If using lamb stock, it is nice to sprinkle the top of the potatoes with fresh Rosemary, and I often add a sprig of thyme to my potatoes when baking them. I have found that melted butter gives a better result than dotting butter, no burned and upturned edges anymore!

Categories     Side Casseroles

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 c butter
about 2 c chicken or vegetable stock
8 medium yukon gold potatoes
salt and pepper to taste
1 large onion, sliced
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp chopped parsley, for garnishing

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a large baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter.
  • 2. Bring stock to boil as you slice the potatoes.
  • 3. Thinly slice the potatoes. Add potatoes to a large bowl, season with salt and pepper and toss.
  • 4. Add potatoes and a few pieces of butter to the prepared baking dish. Add enough stock to cover the potatoes by about 2/3's. Press down gently with your hands.
  • 5. Sprinkle sliced onion evenly on top. Drizzle with olive oil and dot with a few more pieces of butter.
  • 6. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove foil and continue to bake potatoes until golden brown and fork tender, about 30 to 60 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Yukon Golds or Red Potatoes hold their shape better and are less likely to fall apart during cooking.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure there is enough space between the potatoes so that they can cook evenly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan: This will help distribute heat evenly and prevent hot spots.
  • Cook the potatoes over medium heat: This will help them cook through without burning.
  • Stir the potatoes occasionally: This will help prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Season the potatoes with salt and pepper: This will help bring out their natural flavor.
  • Add herbs and spices: You can add herbs and spices like rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, or paprika to give the potatoes extra flavor.
  • Serve the potatoes hot: Boulangere potatoes are best served hot out of the oven.
