POTATO GRATIN



Potato Gratin image

In this classic gratin, thinly sliced potatoes soak up all the goodness of a milk-and-cream mixture that has been spiked with nutmeg. A sprinkling of grated Gruyere cheese on top becomes gooey in the oven. Using a mandoline creates thin slices, which helps the gratin cook more evenly.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Main Dish Recipes     Casserole Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
1 garlic clove, halved
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 ounces Gruyere cheese, grated (1 cup)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Peel potatoes, and place in a bowl of water to prevent discoloring. Rub inside of a 9-by-12-inch oval baking dish with cut sides of garlic. Heat cream, milk, nutmeg, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat until bubbles form around edge. Season with pepper. Remove from heat.
  • Meanwhile, slice potatoes 1/8 inch thick; transfer to a bowl. Pour warm cream mixture over top. Mix well, using your hands to separate and coat potatoes, and transfer to prepared dish. Gently push potatoes down, and pour cream mixture from bowl over top. Sprinkle with Gruyere.

Tips:

  • Select the right potatoes: Choose starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for a creamy texture when cooked. Avoid waxy potatoes like Red Bliss or New Potatoes, as they tend to hold their shape and won't break down as well.
  • Slice potatoes thinly and evenly: This ensures even cooking and helps the potatoes develop a crispy crust.
  • Soak the potatoes in cold water: This helps remove excess starch, resulting in a less gummy texture.
  • Use high-quality Gruyère cheese: Gruyère is a nutty, flavorful cheese that pairs perfectly with potatoes. Look for a cheese that is aged for at least 6 months for the best flavor.
  • Layer the potatoes and cheese evenly: This ensures that every bite is packed with cheesy goodness.
  • Bake the gratin until golden brown and bubbly: This indicates that the potatoes are cooked through and the cheese is melted and gooey.
  • Let the gratin rest for a few minutes before serving: This allows the flavors to meld and the dish to set.

Conclusion:

Creamy potato Gruyère gratin is a classic comfort food that is sure to please everyone at the table. With its creamy, cheesy interior and crispy, golden-brown crust, it's a dish that is both indulgent and satisfying. Follow these tips to make the best potato gratin you've ever tasted.
