Time 1h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tablespoons butter, plus additional for buttering
2 large russet potatoes, unpeeled, thinly sliced
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1 lb carrot, peeled and cut on the diagonal into long thin slices
salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 cup well-flavored chicken stock
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F Generously butter a medium-size gratin dish.
  • Make a layer of one-third of the potato slices in the bottom of the prepared gratin dish.
  • Add a layer of half the onions and then half the carrots.
  • Dot with 2 tablespoons of the butter and season well with salt and pepper.
  • Repeat the layers and finish with the remaining one-third of the potato slices. Dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and season with salt and pepper. Pour in the stock.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake until the vegetables are tender, about 45 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with the cheese.
  • Bake 10 minutes longer, until the cheese is golden brown. Serve very hot.
  • Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cheese: A sharp cheddar or Gruyère will give the dish a rich, nutty flavor.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: They should be tender but still have a little bit of bite.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough: It should coat the vegetables evenly without being too runny.
  • Serve the dish hot: It's best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
