Categories     side-dish

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.
  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions, then season with salt and cook until the onions are soft and very aromatic, 5 to 7 minutes. 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!
  • Place a quarter of the potatoes in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Ladle a quarter of the cheese sauce evenly over the potatoes. 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!

Recipe from New Orleans Cooking by Emeril Lagasse. Simple and tasty side dish. Did add a couple of extra spices as the recipe seemed to be bland with just salt & pepper. The additions of garlic & onion powder seemed to make a difference in the layers.

Tips:

  • Selecting the Right Potatoes: Choose starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold, as they hold their shape and absorb the cheesy sauce well.
  • Slicing Potatoes Thinly: Use a mandoline or sharp knife to slice the potatoes thinly and evenly. This ensures they cook consistently and absorb the sauce evenly.
  • Layering is Key: Layer the potatoes and cheese mixture in a casserole dish, creating multiple layers for a rich and flavorful dish.
  • Using Freshly Grated Cheese: Grating your own cheese instead of using pre-shredded cheese provides a more even melt and better flavor.
  • Adding Aromatics: Enhance the flavor of the dish by adding aromatic ingredients like garlic, onion, and thyme to the cheese sauce or potato layers.
  • Baking Time and Temperature: Bake the potatoes au gratin at a high temperature initially to create a crispy top, then reduce the heat to allow the potatoes to cook through and the cheese to melt smoothly.
  • Resting Before Serving: Let the potatoes au gratin rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the dish to set.

Conclusion:

Cheesy potatoes au gratin is a classic side dish loved for its creamy, cheesy, and flavorful layers of thinly sliced potatoes.
