Thanks to a challenge in the TOH online community a few years back, my husband and I tried parsnips and discovered that we liked them! In fact, I started growing them in my garden and have been trying new things with them, including this recipe. -Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin

Categories     Milk/Cream     Food Processor     Dairy     Potato     Vegetable     Side     Bake     Carrot     Fall     Winter     Shallot     Gourmet     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/4 pounds russet (baking) potatoes
6 tablespoons cornstarch
2 1/4 pounds carrots, grated coarse in a food processor
2/3 cup minced shallot
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup milk
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • In a food processor fitted with the coarse grating disk grate the potatoes, peeled, and in a bowl toss them with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. In another bowl toss the carrots with the remaining 4 tablespoons cornstarch. In a buttered 13- by 9-inch baking dish spread half the carrot mixture, add the potato mixture, spreading it evenly, and sprinkle the shallot over the potatoes. Add the remaining carrot mixture, spreading it evenly, and tamp the mixture down with a rubber spatula. In a bowl whisk together the cream, the milk, the eggs, and salt and pepper to taste, pour the mixture over the carrot mixture, and bake the gratin in the middle of a preheated 375°F. oven for 45 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and golden. Let the gratin cool and chill it, covered, overnight. Cut the gratin into diamonds, transfer the diamonds to a buttered baking sheet, and heat them in a preheated 350°F. oven for 15 minutes, or until they are heated through.

Tips:

  • To achieve a crispy gratin, use a combination of grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs for the topping.
  • Enhance the flavor of the gratin by adding a mix of dried herbs, such as thyme and rosemary, or a teaspoon of garlic powder.
  • If you prefer a creamier gratin, add an extra half cup of heavy cream or sour cream to the vegetable mixture.
  • To save time, use a food processor to grate the carrots and potatoes quickly and evenly.
  • For a vegetarian version of the gratin, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth.

Conclusion:

Carrot and Potato Gratin is a comforting and flavorful casserole that's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its combination of tender vegetables, creamy sauce, and crispy topping, it's sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
