CHEF JOHN'S TRUFFLED POTATO GRATIN
I used a mix of brown and lobster mushrooms, which worked very nicely, but this recipe will be spectacular with any mushroom. If you can find some wild mushrooms like morel, chanterelle, porcini, or lobster, use them. But if you can't, use regular supermarket mushrooms and you will still be rewarded with a very memorable potato side dish.

Steps:
- Melt 1 1/3 tablespoon butter with olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat; cook mushrooms in the hot butter-oil mixture, stirring often, until browned on the edges, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Combine 2 teaspoons softened butter with garlic in a small bowl; butter a 9x13-inch baking dish with garlic butter.
- Spread 1/3 the potatoes into the bottom of the prepared baking dish in a layer; season with salt, black pepper, 1/2 the thyme leaves, and 1/2 the cooked mushrooms. Sprinkle almost half the sottocenere cheese over potatoes, reserving about 3 tablespoons for the top. Layer next 1/3 the potatoes over cheese, season with salt and black pepper, remaining 1/2 thyme leaves, 1/2 the remaining cheese, remaining mushrooms, and last layer of potatoes. Season potatoes with more salt and black pepper. Pour chicken stock and cream over the top. Sprinkle with more salt and black pepper and reserved 3 tablespoons of sottocenere cheese. Cover dish loosely with aluminum foil; tent the foil a little so it doesn't touch the potatoes.
- Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are bubbly, about 45 minutes. Remove foil and cook until top is browned, about 15 more minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in this dish. Look for Yukon Gold or russet potatoes, heavy cream, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
- Slice the potatoes thinly and evenly: This will help them cook evenly and create a creamy, smooth texture. A mandoline slicer can be helpful for achieving thin, even slices.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the leeks, be sure to use a large skillet so that they have room to cook evenly. Overcrowding the pan will cause them to steam instead of brown.
- Use a good-quality truffle oil: A little truffle oil goes a long way, so be sure to use a high-quality oil that has a rich, earthy flavor.
- Bake the gratin until it is golden brown and bubbly: This will ensure that the potatoes are cooked through and the cheese is melted and gooey.
Conclusion:
This truffled potato gratin is a luxurious and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any special occasion. The combination of creamy potatoes, rich cheese, and earthy truffles is sure to impress your guests. Follow these tips to make sure your gratin turns out perfectly every time.
