POTATOES AND CARROTS AU GRATIN



Potatoes and Carrots Au Gratin image

I found this recipe in a local farm publication. I guess that's fitting, because whenever I make it, I use fresh vegetables grown on our farm. This hearty recipe comes in handy whether you're feeding some hardworking farmers, or a large group at a potluck supper. I've found that a shredder works well for preparing the vegetables and cuts down on baking time.

Potato and Swiss Chard Gratin image

Jim Leiken, the executive chef at DBGB Kitchen & Bar, cooked us this hearty, rustic dish of fork-tender potatoes, Swiss chard and bubbling Gruyère that can move easily from a satellite role to the centerpiece of a vegetarian holiday meal.

Provided by Elaine Louie

Categories     casseroles, side dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Salt
1 pound Swiss chard leaves and slender stems, stems cut into 1/4-inch cubes
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 garlic clove, smashed
1 small shallot, sliced
2 thyme sprigs
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3 pounds (6 to 8 medium) Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled
1 tablespoon butter, at room temperature
Pepper
6 ounces grated Gruyère

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees, and place rack in the center. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; set a bowl of ice water on the side. Boil the chard leaves until tender, 3 to 5 minutes, then transfer with a slotted spoon to the ice water. Squeeze them dry and chop roughly. Boil the diced stems until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain well and add to chopped chard leaves.
  • In a small saucepan, bring the heavy cream, garlic, shallot, thyme and bay leaf to a simmer. Cook until reduced by half, about 25 minutes. Strain out the solids and add the nutmeg.
  • Meanwhile, slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch-thick rounds with a mandoline or sharp knife. Butter a 12- to 14-inch gratin dish. Assemble the gratin by layering the ingredients in this order: a single, slightly overlapping layer of one-third of the potato slices, a sprinkling of salt and pepper, one-third of the Gruyère, half the Swiss chard and one-third of the reduced cream. Repeat once, and then top with one more layer of potato, salt and pepper, and the rest of the Gruyère and cream.
  • Bake until the top is browned and the potatoes are fork-tender, about 45 minutes.

POTATO AND CELERY ROOT GRATIN WITH CAPER BROWN BUTTER



Potato and Celery Root Gratin With Caper Brown Butter image

This is the perfect side dish to a Sunday roast or winter spread. Cutting the vegetables into batons as opposed to thinly slicing them lends a wonderful texture to the dish, and it looks pretty funky too. If you can't find celeriac (celery root), then swap it out for an equal amount of Yukon Gold potatoes or similar semi-waxy potatoes. This is the kind of dish that tastes better as it sits, so feel free to serve it at room temperature if you prefer, adding the brown butter just before serving.

Provided by Yotam Ottolenghi

Categories     casseroles, main course, side dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 tablespoons/80 grams unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for foil
2 medium yellow onions, peeled, halved and sliced into thin half-moons (about 12 ounces/360 grams)
Salt and black pepper
5 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons thyme leaves, plus 3 sprigs
1 1/2 tablespoons white miso
3/4 cup/180 milliliters dry white wine
1 large celery root (celeriac) (about 1 3/4 pounds/800 grams), peeled and cut into scant 1/2-inch/roughly 1-centimeter-thick batons (about 1 1/3 pounds/600 grams peeled)
1 1/2 pounds/680 grams Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into scant 1/2-inch/roughly 1-centimeter-thick batons
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (plain flour)
1 1/4 cups/300 milliliters chicken stock (or vegetable stock)
5 1/2 ounces/150 grams Gruyère, roughly grated (1 1/2 packed cups)
2 1/2 tablespoons nonpareil capers, drained and patted dry
2 lemons
1/4 lightly packed cup/10 grams finely chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit/180 degrees Celsius.
  • Add 2 tablespoons/30 grams of butter and all the oil to a medium (10-inch/26-centimeter) ovenproof sauté pan over medium-high heat. Once melted, add the onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt, turn the heat down to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened and have taken on a light coloring, about 15 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme leaves, and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant. Stir in the miso and wine, and cook until liquid is reduced by half, about 4 more minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • In a large bowl, very gently toss together celery root (celeriac), potatoes and flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a generous grind of pepper. Stir in the onion mixture to coat, then transfer everything back into the skillet, piling the vegetables haphazardly, so that the batons are pointing in different directions. Pour in the stock. Lightly grease a piece of foil with a little oil, then tightly cover the pan (oiled side down) and bake for 1 hour, or until the vegetables have cooked through.
  • Remove the foil, and turn the oven temperature up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit/210 degrees Celsius. Sprinkle over the Gruyère and return the dish to the oven for 30 minutes, or until nicely browned on top, rotating the dish halfway. Leave to settle for at least 20 minutes while you make the brown butter (beurre noisette).
  • Add the remaining butter and the thyme sprigs to a small saucepan, and place it over medium heat. Once melted, cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until it starts to smell nutty (add more or less time if necessary). Add the capers (carefully, as they might spit) and cook for 4 more minutes, or until they darken and burst. Off the heat, stir 1 tablespoon lemon juice from 1 lemon, chives and another good grind of pepper.
  • Pour the caper brown butter all over the top of the gratin and serve warm, with the remaining lemon sliced into wedges to squeeze alongside.

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. Bake (with a baking sheet placed on the rack below to catch drips) until potatoes are fork tender and top is bubbling and brown, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

MOM'S SCALLOPED POTATO GRATIN



Mom's Scalloped Potato Gratin image

These scalloped potatoes were one of my favorite foods growing up, but then I went to culinary school and learned, according to classical methods, how it was "supposed" to be made--and that's how I've been making it ever since. But recently, for whatever reason, I went back and tried to recreate my mother's version and was reminded of why I loved hers in the first place.

Provided by Chef John

Time 1h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 large russet potatoes, or more to taste
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
¾ cup grated sharp white Cheddar cheese
3 ½ cups whole milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish with 2 tablespoons butter and set aside.
  • Peel potatoes and cut at a 45-degree angle into 1/4-inch thick round slices.
  • Arrange 1/3 of the potato slices in an even layer in the bottom of the prepared dish. Season the layer very generously with salt, and sparingly with the freshly ground black pepper, and cayenne, if using. Top evenly with 1/3 of the Cheddar cheese. Repeat this process two more times for a total of three layers of potatoes, except for the last third of the cheese. Slowly and carefully pour in the milk, without upsetting the layers. The milk should almost, but not quite, cover the potatoes.
  • Top with remaining Cheddar cheese and place the casserole dish on a sheet pan to catch any drips.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until potatoes are tender and the top is well browned and bubbling, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cut potatoes or a mandoline slicer to evenly slice the potatoes.
  • For a richer flavor, use a combination of chicken and vegetable broth.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can substitute milk or half-and-half.
  • To make the gratin ahead of time, assemble it and bake it for 30 minutes. Then, let it cool completely and refrigerate it for up to 2 days. When ready to serve, reheat it in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
  • For a crispy topping, sprinkle some panko breadcrumbs or grated Parmesan cheese on top of the gratin before baking.

Conclusion:
