CHEESY POTATO GRATIN

Provided by Nancy Fuller

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 quart milk
3 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
3 cups shredded Gruyere cheese
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
7 medium Yukon gold potatoes, unpeeled, cut in 1/2-inch thick coins
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large, oven-safe high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. When the foam subsides, add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until it has the consistency of wet sand, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the milk, little by little.
  • Put the saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Lower the heat and whisk in 2 cups of the Cheddar, 2 cups of the Gruyere, the garlic, pepper and salt. Whisk until the cheese is melted, then stir in the nutmeg. Add the sliced potatoes to the pan. Scatter the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the remaining 1 cup Cheddar and 1 cup Gruyere over the top.
  • Bake in the oven for 45 minutes, then increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F., and bake until the potatoes are fork-tender and the top is bubbly and golden brown, about 15 minutes more. (Cover the dish with foil if the top becomes too dark before the potatoes are tender.) Scatter the chopped parsley over the top, and serve.

MOM'S SCALLOPED POTATO GRATIN



Mom's Scalloped Potato Gratin image

These scalloped potatoes were one of my favorite foods growing up, but then I went to culinary school and learned, according to classical methods, how it was "supposed" to be made--and that's how I've been making it ever since. But recently, for whatever reason, I went back and tried to recreate my mother's version and was reminded of why I loved hers in the first place.

Provided by Chef John

Time 1h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 large russet potatoes, or more to taste
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
¾ cup grated sharp white Cheddar cheese
3 ½ cups whole milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish with 2 tablespoons butter and set aside.
  • Peel potatoes and cut at a 45-degree angle into 1/4-inch thick round slices.
  • Arrange 1/3 of the potato slices in an even layer in the bottom of the prepared dish. Season the layer very generously with salt, and sparingly with the freshly ground black pepper, and cayenne, if using. Top evenly with 1/3 of the Cheddar cheese. Repeat this process two more times for a total of three layers of potatoes, except for the last third of the cheese. Slowly and carefully pour in the milk, without upsetting the layers. The milk should almost, but not quite, cover the potatoes.
  • Top with remaining Cheddar cheese and place the casserole dish on a sheet pan to catch any drips.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until potatoes are tender and the top is well browned and bubbling, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

VERMONT CHEDDAR MASHED POTATOES



Vermont Cheddar Mashed Potatoes image

To some, Cheddar is synonymous with Vermont, even if it is produced in several other states, too. For most, mashed potatoes are an absolute essential for a proper Thanksgiving table. Combining them seems natural, whether customary or not. Using two-year-old aged Vermont Cheddar, which is deeply flavored but not too sharp, gives these creamy mashed potatoes a subtle Cheddar presence, neither overwhelmingly cheesy nor gooey. (For everything you need to know to make perfect potatoes, visit our potato guide.)

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     side dish

Time 45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds medium russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
3/4 pound Vermont aged white Cheddar, grated
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Black pepper, to taste
Small pinch cayenne
Pinch of grated nutmeg
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup heavy cream, heated
2 eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Boil potatoes in well-salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well in a colander and place in the bowl of a stand mixer with a wire whisk attachment. Beat at medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes to allow steam to escape.
  • Turn off mixer and add cheese, baking powder, salt, pepper, cayenne and nutmeg. Beat again for a minute or so.
  • Add butter and cream, mixing slowly, then increase speed to medium and drizzle in beaten eggs. Stop and scrape down bowl with rubber spatula to make sure ingredients are incorporated evenly. Beat at medium-high speed until mixture is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Serve immediately in a heated bowl. Alternatively, transfer potatoes to a 2-quart baking dish, cover with foil and let stand at room temperature. Reheat for 30 to 40 minutes at 350 degrees, until piping hot. (If you want the top browned, remove foil halfway through baking. Otherwise give the potatoes a stir before serving.)
