Categories     side-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups heavy cream
1 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup grated fresh horseradish
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1 Vidalia or other sweet onion, sliced as thin as possible
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, sliced 1/8 inch thick (best to do when ready to assemble)
2 cups grated Gruyere cheese
1 cup coarse breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Put the cream, half-and-half, horseradish, nutmeg, garlic and onion in a medium saucepan and slowly bring the mixture to a simmer. Be sure to stir on occasion to prevent scorching. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, spoon a thin layer of the cream and onion mixture onto the bottom. Layer the potatoes, followed by a sprinkle of cheese. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Repeat this process until the dish is filled and the gratin is moist. Combine the breadcrumbs and thyme and sprinkle on top.
  • Bake until the potatoes are tender and the gratin is caramelized on top and bubbly on the edges, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

POTATOES AU GRATIN



Potatoes au Gratin image

The humble potato gets the red carpet treatment in this easy yet luxurious recipe for potatoes au gratin. Sliced Yukon Gold or russet potatoes (you can use either, but don't use a combination as they cook at different rates) are layered with half-and-half or heavy cream, topped with butter and grated cheese, then baked until golden and bubbly. Feel free to play around: Add leeks, onions, garlic or more cheese between the layers. Experiment with fresh or dried herbs. It's incredibly adaptable and practically foolproof. Just don't forget to season with salt and pepper as you go. Like all potato dishes, it needs plenty of seasoning.

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 to 4 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 to 3 cups half-and-half or heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan or Gruyère
Pinch of nutmeg (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Seasoning each layer with salt and pepper as you go, layer the potatoes in a 10- or 12-inch ovenproof skillet.
  • Dot the top with 2 tablespoons butter. Pour in half-and-half. (It should come about 3/4 of the way to the top.)
  • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to low and cook for 10 minutes, uncovered, until the half-and-half has reduced by about half.
  • Transfer to the oven and bake until the top is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 300 degrees and cook until the potatoes are fork tender and the top is nicely browned, about 8 minutes more. Top with grated cheese and return to the oven until the cheese is melty and golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with a pinch of nutmeg, if using, and serve.

YUKON GOLD POTATOES AU GRATIN RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Yukon Gold Potatoes Au Gratin Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold Potatoes, cut* into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
A mandoline makes slicing the potatoes much easier. I also soak the potatoes in water, while doing my prep work, so that they don't turn brown.

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 1 1/2 quart baking dish with about 1 tablespoon of the softened butter. Arrange a layer of potatoes in the baking dish, and sprinkle some of the cheeses over them. Continue layering potatoes and cheeses until you've used them all, ending with a layer of potatoes. In a small bowl, whisk the cream and chicken stock with the salt and pepper; pour this over the potatoes. Dot the remaining butter over the top and sprinkle with the paprika. Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown on top. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

YUKON GOLD ROASTED POTATOES WITH BACON, ONION AND GARLIC



Yukon Gold Roasted Potatoes With Bacon, Onion and Garlic image

You can use any kind of potatoes for this but Yukon Gold are simply the best! All ingredients can be adjusted to taste. If you do not like your garlic crispy then just add in two or three whole bulbs garlic (outer layer of skin removed) sprinkle with oil and place in the roasting pan with the potatoes and separate the cloves after roasting. If desired, roast 1-2 pounds fresh mushrooms in the oven with a bit of butter or oil until they are soft and release their juices, remove to a bowl and continue with the recipe, add in the mushrooms to the roasting pan just before serving, I have done this many times if I have fresh mushrooms handy.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold potatoes are the best choice for this recipe, as they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture. Look for potatoes that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly. Use a mandoline or a sharp knife to slice the potatoes into ⅛-inch thick slices.
  • Soak the potatoes in water: This will help to remove the starch from the potatoes, which will prevent them from sticking together. Soak the potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet: This will help to prevent the potatoes from burning. A cast iron skillet is a good choice.
  • Cook the potatoes in batches: If you try to cook all of the potatoes at once, they will not cook evenly. Cook the potatoes in batches, in a single layer, so that they have plenty of room to brown.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the potatoes will not cook evenly and they will be more likely to stick together. Cook the potatoes in batches, if necessary.
  • Season the potatoes liberally: Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown and crispy: This will take about 10-15 minutes per side. Be patient and don't rush this step, as it is what gives the potatoes their delicious flavor and texture.
  • Top the potatoes with your favorite toppings: There are endless possibilities when it comes to toppings for gratin of Yukon gold potatoes. Some popular options include bacon, arugula, cheese, and sour cream.

Conclusion:

Gratin of Yukon gold potatoes is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It is perfect for any occasion, from a casual weeknight meal to a special holiday dinner. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting potato dish, give this recipe a try.
