Categories     Potato

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

Unsalted butter, room temperature, for muffin cups
2 medium russet potatoes (about 3/4 pound each)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
6 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly brush 6 standard muffin cups with butter. Thinly slice potatoes. Place 2 slices in each cup and season with salt and pepper. Continue adding potatoes, seasoning every few slices, until cups are filled. Pour 1 tablespoon heavy cream over each. Bake until potatoes are golden brown and tender when pierced with a knife, 30 to 35 minutes. Run a thin knife around each gratin. Place a baking sheet or large plate over pan and invert to release gratins. Flip right side up and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Yukon Golds, Red Bliss, or Fingerling hold their shape well and resist becoming mushy. Avoid starchy potatoes like Russets as they tend to fall apart when cooked.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly and evenly: This ensures they cook evenly. Use a mandoline or food processor for consistent slicing.
  • Parboil the potatoes before baking: This helps them cook through evenly and prevents them from becoming dry. Simply boil the potatoes for a few minutes until they are slightly tender but still firm.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: Gruyère, Parmesan, and cheddar are all great choices. You can also use a combination of cheeses for a more complex flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices: Garlic, thyme, rosemary, and nutmeg are all popular additions.
  • Serve immediately: Potato gratin is best enjoyed hot out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Muffin pan potato gratins are a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover potatoes, and they can be easily customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a potato gratin that is sure to impress your family and friends.
