MEAT AND POTATO SKILLET GRATIN
This hearty, wintry dish is a cross between a shepherd's pie and potato gratin. It's got a layer of browned ground beef spiked with onions, sage and spinach on the bottom, with a luscious, cheese- and cream-slathered root vegetable topping that turns golden and crisp-edged in the oven. If you aren't a rutabaga fan, you can use all potatoes, or a combination of white and sweet potatoes. This gratin reheats very well, so feel free to make it ahead and reheat it uncovered in a 350-degree oven. And although it qualifies as a one-pan meal (with meat, green vegetable and starch altogether), a fresh and tangy green salad on the side would round things out nicely.

Steps:
- Crush and peel 2 garlic cloves. In a small pot over medium heat, combine cream, the crushed garlic, the thyme and 1/2 tablespoon sage. Bring to a simmer; cook until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 30 minutes. Strain and cool.
- While cream cools, heat oil in an ovenproof 10-inch skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add half the beef and brown well, crumbling with a fork as it cooks. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; transfer meat to a paper-towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining meat, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the pepper.
- Add onion to pan drippings (drizzle with oil if pan seems dry). Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender and golden, about 10 minutes. Peel and chop remaining 2 garlic cloves; add to pan with remaining sage. Return meat to skillet. Toss in spinach, a handful at a time, until wilted. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, the Worcestershire and pepper to taste.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Peel rutabaga and cut in half. Slice each half crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Peel potatoes and cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Layer half the rutabaga and potato slices over meat, alternating between rutabaga and potato, with slices overlapping one another. Season lightly with salt and pepper; top with half the cheese. Repeat with remaining vegetables and cheese. Spoon reduced cream evenly over top.
- Cover pan tightly with foil and bake until vegetables are very tender, 60 to 75 minutes. Uncover and cook until golden brown, about 10 minutes more. Cool 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Pour half of the heavy cream and half of the milk into a shallow skillet. Stir in the garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and the bay leaf. Slice the potatoes into disks about 1/8 inch thick and place in the pan. Barely cover the potatoes with the remaining cream and milk.
- Place the potatoes over medium-low heat and simmer for 1 hour. To avoid curdling, do not let the mixture boil, and do not allow the potatoes to stick to the bottom of the pan -- they will scorch. The potatoes can be prepared ahead of time to this point and kept at room temperature.
- Thirty minutes before serving, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Transfer the potato mixture into a shallow baking pan and shake to distribute evenly. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the potatoes, place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Serve with a veal chop, a steak or any other roasted meat.

GRATIN OF BEEF AND POTATOES
A recipe by Paul Prudhomme. I love the idea of a one dish meal made with ground beef. Chef Prudhomme's Meat Magic can be effectively substituted with any Cajun or Creole seasoning mix. Everyone needs a one-dish recipe for an everyday meal!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to broil setting.
- Fill large saucepan half full of water. Bring water to a rapid boil. Add potatoes. Cook stirring occasionally, about 18 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Rinse under cold water and set aside.
- In a medium-size bowl, combine ground beef with 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning. Mix well to even distribute seasoning; set aside.
- In 10-inch skillet over high heat, melt margarine. When it comes to a hard sizzle, add 1 cup onion and cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes or until onion starts to brown. Turn heat down to medium and continue cooking, stirring more frequently, another 2 minutes or until onion is caramelized to a rich brown color.
- Add celery and 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning. Stir to mix well and cook another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Moving vegetables to one side of the skillet, add seasoned ground beef and remaining onion. Turn heat to high. Cook, stirring frequently to break up meat chunks, about 6 minutes or until meat is brown. (I've found this technique difficult in one pan. I use a separate pan for the onions then add the carrots combining all afterwards.).
- Stir in carrots and cook 3 minutes.
- Add flour and remaining optional 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning and stir well. Let mixture cook about 4 minutes, without stirring, to allow a brown crust to form on bottom of skillet. When brown crust has formed, scrape it up and and stir to incorporate it. Stir in 1 cup stock to deglaze pan, stirring and scraping bottom and sides of pan until clean.
- Stir in remaining 1 cup stock and cook another 2 and 1/2 minutes or until mixture has thickened slightly. Remove from heat and adjust seasoning.
- Place cooked potatoes, meat mixture and 2 cups cheese in a 2 1/2 quart ovenproof casserole dish. Stir carefully, to avoid mashing potatoes, just until mixed and mixture is evenly distributed. Sprinkle remaining cheese evenly over top.
- Bake, uncovered, in oven preheated to "broil" setting about 7 minutes or until cheese has melted and is lightly browned. Remove from oven and serve immediately.
Tips:
- For a crispier gratin, use a cast-iron skillet. You can use a regular skillet, but you may need to add a little extra butter or oil to prevent the potatoes from sticking.
- Use a variety of potatoes for flavor and texture. Yukon Gold and red potatoes are good options.
- Slice the potatoes thinly so that they cook evenly. A mandoline slicer is a great tool for this task.
- Season the potatoes well with salt, pepper, and garlic. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or paprika.
- Use a combination of cheeses for a richer flavor. Cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan are all good choices.
- Bake the gratin until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
- Let the gratin cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the cheese to set.
Conclusion:
Meat and potato skillet gratin is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can create a gratin that is crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor.
