Number Of Ingredients 5

1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (optional), plus more for baking dish
1 1/2 cups heavy cream, plus more if needed
3 sprigs robust herbs such as thyme or sage
2 pounds (total) potatoes, preferably russets, and turnips, peeled and thinly sliced
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Infuse liquid: Heat oven to 375 degrees, and butter a 2 1/2-quart oval gratin dish or 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Bring cream and thyme to just under a boil in a small saucepan, then remove from heat and let stand 30 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve and discard solids.
  • Assemble: Arrange the vegetable slices in an overlapping fashion in the baking dish, alternating them and seasoning with salt and pepper as you go. Dot with butter, if using. Pour cream over top (it should almost cover the vegetables; add up to 1/2 cup more if necessary) and cover tightly with parchment-lined foil.
  • Bake: Bake until vegetables are tender, about 45 minutes, then remove foil and bake until golden brown and bubbling, about 15 minutes more. Serve at once.

CHEESY TURNIP AND POTATO GRATIN

Replacing turnip for some of the potatoes not only reduces carbs but also adds another layer of flavor. I also chose to use half-and-half over whipping cream to lighten things up a bit.

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

  • 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.

TURNIP GRATIN



Turnip gratin image

This rich side dish is similar to potato dauphinoise - turnips and potatoes are layered up with double cream and garlic and baked

Provided by Tom Kerridge

Categories     Side dish

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

600g potatoes , such as Maris Piper, peeled
600g turnips , peeled
600ml pot double cream
3 garlic cloves , grated
ground white pepper , to taste
large knob of butter , for greasing

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. Thinly slice the potatoes and turnips to about 2mm thick - you can use a Japanese mandolin if you have one - then toss together in a large bowl. Pour the cream in a pan, then add the garlic, plenty of salt and some white pepper - be generous when seasoning the cream as the potatoes and turnips aren't seasoned separately. Bring the cream to the boil, then remove from the heat and put to one side. Grease a large gratin dish and layer a third of the potatoes and turnips in the dish, slightly overlapping each other as if you are building a wall. Pour over a third of the warm cream, then continue in this way with the remaining potatoes, turnips and cream.
  • Put the gratin in the oven and cook for 20 mins. Remove the dish from the oven and push the potatoes and turnips down with a fish slice. This will help to release the starches and the cream will eventually reduce and thicken. Put the gratin back in the oven and repeat the process every 10 mins until the potatoes and turnips feel tight and firm. Return to the oven for another 20 mins and cook until golden brown and tender - test by inserting a sharp knife through the potatoes and turnips. Remove from the oven and leave to cool slightly.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful turnips, potatoes, and cheese will make all the difference in this dish. Look for turnips and potatoes that are firm and smooth, with no blemishes. Use a good-quality cheddar cheese that melts well.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: The turnips and potatoes should be tender but still have a little bite to them. Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and bland.
  • Use a good-quality baking dish: A heavy baking dish will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the gratin from burning. A 9x13 inch baking dish is a good size for this recipe.
  • Preheat the oven: Make sure the oven is fully preheated before you put the gratin in. This will help to ensure that the gratin cooks evenly.
  • Bake the gratin until it is golden brown and bubbly: This will take about 30-35 minutes. Keep an eye on it, as the gratin can easily burn if it is overcooked.
  • Let the gratin cool for a few minutes before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the gratin to set. Serve the gratin warm, garnished with fresh parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

Cheesy turnip and potato gratin is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy, cheesy sauce and tender vegetables, this gratin is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
