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.

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups heavy cream
3 bay leaves
2 sprigs fresh thyme, plus more to finish
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Unsalted butter
2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for broiling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a saucepan, heat up the cream with the bay leaves, thyme, garlic, nutmeg and some salt and pepper.
  • While the cream is heating up, butter a casserole dish. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bay leaves and thyme. Pour the heated cream into a large bowl with the potato slices. Mix gently to coat the potatoes. Dust the Parmesan over the potatoes. Season the mix with a little bit of salt and pepper. Mix to gently incorporate. Spoon a little bit of the cream into the bottom of the casserole dish. Then spoon the potatoes in. Level out the potatoes for uniform cooking time. Pour the remaining cream at the bottom of the bowl over the top. Top with some Parmesan and fresh thyme leaves. Cover the dish with aluminum foil, but pull back one corner for the steam to escape. Bake for 40 minutes.

SCALLOPED POTATO GRATIN



Scalloped Potato Gratin image

Is there anything better than a molten, golden-topped potato gratin? I don't think so, either. This one stays fairly classic - scented with sage, garlic and nutmeg, then showered with lots of nutty Gruyère. My tweak is in form rather than flavor. Instead of piling the potatoes an inch or two deep in a gratin dish, I shingle the slices in a shallow sheet pan. It gives the whole thing a more elegant look, and you get maximum browning and crunch on top. There's less of the gooey center, but what it loses in ooze it makes up for in increased surface area for the crisp-edged baked cheese.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick), plus more for greasing the aluminum foil, at room temperature
3 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh sage leaves
4 fat garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt, plus more as needed
5 large eggs
4 pounds russet potatoes (about 6 large or 8 medium)
Freshly ground black pepper
2 1/4 cups grated Gruyère (8 1/2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees, and brush 1/4 cup butter on a rimmed 17-by-13-inch baking sheet. Brush one or two pieces of foil (enough to cover the top of the pan) with more butter. Set the foil aside.
  • In a medium pot, bring the cream, sage, garlic, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt to a simmer. Simmer until reduced by a quarter, about 15 minutes.
  • In a large heatproof bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Beating constantly, gradually add a little of the hot cream to the eggs, then slowly pour in the rest of the hot cream, whisking to prevent the eggs from curdling. Set aside.
  • Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch-thick rounds.
  • Arrange one layer of potatoes on the buttered baking sheet, slightly overlapping the slices. Sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon of the salt, add pepper to taste, then pour half the egg mixture over the potatoes. Top with 1/2 cup cheese. Repeat the layers of potato, seasoning and egg mixture. Top with the remaining 1 3/4 cups cheese. Cover the baking sheet with the foil (buttered-side down) and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the potatoes and cheese are browned and bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly, then serve.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes: Combining different types of potatoes, such as Yukon Gold, Russet, and Red Potatoes, creates a more flavorful and textured gratin.
  • Slice potatoes thinly and evenly: Consistent thickness ensures even cooking and prevents some slices from remaining hard while others become too soft.
  • Use a good quality cheese: Opt for flavorful cheeses that melt well, such as Gruyère, Cheddar, Parmesan, or Fontina.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish: Overcrowding prevents the potatoes from cooking evenly and becoming crispy.
  • Bake until golden brown: The gratin is ready when the top is golden brown and bubbly, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Moms Scalloped Potato Gratin is a classic comfort food that combines creamy potatoes, a rich cheese sauce, and a crispy breadcrumb topping. By following these tips, you can create a delicious and memorable gratin that will be a hit at any gathering.
