CHEESY POTATO AND KALE GRATIN WITH RYE CROUTONS



Cheesy Potato and Kale Gratin with Rye Croutons image

There's no need to reduce your cream or pre-cook the kale for this aromatic casserole; everything cooks together in cheesy, creamy harmony. Leaving the potatoes unpeeled bumps up nutrients and cuts the prep time, too.

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 slices seeded rye bread
1 large bunch kale (preferably Tuscan; about 12 ounces), ribs removed, leaves torn into 3" pieces
6 ounces good-quality Gruyère, grated on the large holes of a food processor blade or box grater (about 2 cups)
2 ounces good-quality Parmesan, grated on the large holes of a food processor blade or box grater (about 1/2 cup)
2 pounds yellow-fleshed potatoes (such as Yukon Gold), unpeeled, cut crosswise into 1/8"-thick slices (see Cooks' Note), divided
1 teaspoon dried thyme, divided
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 garlic cloves, finely grated or pressed
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Special Equipment
A 13x9x2" or 3-quart baking dish

Steps:

  • Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 350ºF. Arrange bread slices on a rimmed baking sheet and bake, flipping once halfway through, until dry and lightly toasted, 15-20 minutes. Let cool. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag and break into irregular, 1/2"-1" pieces. Transfer to a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Meanwhile, wash and spin-dry kale, then layer between paper towels or a large clean kitchen towel and pat dry.
  • Mix Gruyère and Parmesan in a medium bowl. Shingle one-quarter of potatoes in 3 or 4 rows, slightly overlapping, in bottom of baking dish. Sprinkle with one-quarter of thyme, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/8 tsp. pepper. Top with 2 cups kale and one-quarter of cheese mixture. Repeat 2 more times. Shingle remaining potatoes over cheese; top with 1/4 tsp. salt, 1/8 tsp. pepper, and remaining thyme. Reserve remaining kale and cheese.
  • Stir cream, garlic, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/8 tsp. pepper in a liquid measuring cup. Pour evenly over potatoes.
  • Bake gratin 40 minutes. Cover with foil and continue to bake until cream is bubbling and thick and potatoes are tender when pierced with a paring knife, 35-45 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, toss reserved croutons with 2 Tbsp. oil in a medium bowl. Toss remaining kale with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil. Top gratin with kale, remaining cheese, then croutons, allowing kale pieces to peek through. Bake gratin until croutons are golden brown and exposed kale edges are well-crisped, about 15 minutes more. Let cool at least 10 minutes before serving.
  • Do Ahead
  • Bread can be toasted 3 days ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Kale can be torn, washed, and patted dry 3 days ahead. Wrap in paper towels, place in a resealable plastic bag, and chill.
  • Gratin can be made 1 day ahead. Let cool, then wrap tightly in plastic and chill. Bring to room temperature, cover with foil, and warm in a 300ºF oven until heated through, 15-20 minutes. Uncover and continue to warm to re-crisp croutons and exposed kale edges, about 5 minutes.

KALE & SWEET POTATO GRATIN



Kale & Sweet Potato Gratin image

This decadent recipe is from Saveur.com, and is among the best I've found on their site. It's definitely a calorie bomb, so I'll only make it for holidays or special occasions. You'll never want to add sugar to a sweet potato dish ever again, as the cheesy, savory flavors pair perfectly with the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes. It almost tastes like pizza, and while it's great as a side dish, I think it would make a great vegetarian entree.

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 50m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 tablespoons butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1 bunch kale, stemmed and roughly chopped
2 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced about 1/8-inch thick
2 cups half-and-half
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup white cheddar cheese or 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Preheat the over to 400°F Rub the inside of a 8"x8" baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter.
  • Combine garlic, kale, potatoes, half-and-half, cinnamon, nutmeg and remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a pot; stir. Season with salt and pepper and taste the creamy liquid-it should be seasoned generously. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat while stirring the mixture. After 8-10 minutes the potatoes will be a little tender, and their starch will have thickened the liquid considerably.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish; smooth the top as much as possible. Cover the gratin with cheddar and bake until deeply golden brown, about 20-30 minutes. Let gratin cool and set a little before serving.

Time 2h5m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 yellow onion, finely diced
Kosher salt
2 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 quart milk
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 cups grated Gruyere
1 cup grated Parmigiano
3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 1/4-inch slices

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Add the garlic and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in the flour and cook until the roux is the consistency of wet sand, 3 to 4 minutes. Whisk in the milk, bring to a boil and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Turn off the heat and whisk in the mustard and cheeses. Season with salt to taste to make sure it is delicious!

Repeat this process 3 or 4 more times with the remaining potatoes and sauce, pushing down the potatoes between each layer and topping with the sauce. Place the baking dish on a sheet tray lined with foil. Bake, rotating the dish halfway through, until the potatoes are soft when poked with a fork, 50 to 60 minutes. Tent with foil if the top is getting too brown.
  • Let sit for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
  • Hot cheesy potatoes!

SLOW COOKER POTATO, LEEK, AND KALE GRATIN WITH TOO MUCH CHEESE



Slow Cooker Potato, Leek, and Kale Gratin With Too Much Cheese image

Layers of creamy potato, salty cheese, and savory kale and leeks mean that this is one dish that's here for a good time, not a long time.

Provided by Katrina Meynink

Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 large leeks, white and light green parts only, washed thoroughly, finely sliced
½ small bunch of flat-leaf kale, stems removed, leaves chopped
375 ml (12½ fl oz; 1½ cups) heavy cream
125 ml (4 fl oz; ½ cup) chicken or vegetable stock
85 g (3 oz) gruyère, grated
125 g (4½ oz) Parmesan, grated
150 g (5½ oz) creamy blue cheese
900 g (2 lb) washed potatoes (I use sebago), sliced about 3 mm (¼ in) thick

Steps:

  • Set the slow cooker to the sauté function. Add the oil and, once hot, add the leek and cook for 1-2 minutes, then add the kale and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, or until the leek is soft. Gently scoop into a bowl. Line the slow cooker with a sheet of baking paper, working carefully as it will be hot.
  • Add the cream, stock and cheeses to a bowl and use a fork to combine.
  • Arrange one-third of the potato slices over the bottom of the lined bowl, overlapping them slightly. Pour in one-third of the cream mixture and sprinkle with one-third of the leek mixture. Season and repeat the process until all the ingredients have been used.
  • You should get three decent layers of cheesy potato goodness. Close the lid and cook on high for 4 hours.
  • Check the liquid at the 3-hour mark. If there is a lot of liquid remaining, leave the lid off for the last hour of cooking. If, at 4 hours, there is still too much liquid, remove the lid and, if your cooker has it, hit the reduce function, or simply the sauté function, and cook for 2-5 minutes. This will quickly get rid of any excess moisture.
  • Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes in the slow cooker before gently removing. If you try to cut it when still hot, it tends to go everywhere. Alternatively, scoop the gratin straight from the bowl onto the plate. It might not look amazing, but it's the kind of dish that is here for a good time, not a long time.
  • Season generously with salt and pepper and serve. Eat wearing stretchy pants; you are going to need them.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for this gratin because they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and create a tender, creamy texture.
  • Use a good quality cheese: Gruyère or Cheddar cheese are both excellent choices for this gratin. You can also use a combination of cheeses, such as Gruyère, Parmesan, and Asiago.
  • Don't overcook the kale: Kale should be wilted but still have a bit of a bite to it. Overcooked kale will be tough and bitter.
  • Make the rye croutons ahead of time: Rye croutons can be made up to 2 days in advance. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Cheesy potato and kale gratin with rye croutons is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The creamy potatoes, wilted kale, and melted cheese are a perfect combination, and the rye croutons add a nice crunchy texture. This gratin is also relatively easy to make, and it can be prepared ahead of time, making it a great option for忙しい人たち.
