Yield Makes 8 (side dish) servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds fresh poblano chiles (about 5)
1 pound onions, cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch strips
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 pounds large Yukon Gold potatoes
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
3/4 cup whole milk
Equipment: an adjustable-blade slicer

Steps:

  • Roast chiles and make rajas:
  • Roast chiles on their sides on racks of gas burners on high, turning with tongs, until skins are blackened all over, about 10 minutes. Immediately transfer to a bowl and let stand, covered tightly, 10 minutes.
  • When chiles are cool enough to handle, peel or rub off skin. Slit chiles lengthwise, then stem, seed, and devein. Cut lengthwise into thin strips.
  • Cook onions with 1 teaspoon salt in oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 8 minutes. Stir in chiles and remove rajas from heat. Reserve 1/2 cup rajas for topping.
  • Make gratin:
  • Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in middle. Generously butter a 3-quart shallow baking dish.
  • Peel potatoes, then cut crosswise into 1/16-inch-thick slices with slicer. Transfer to a small heavy pot. Add cream, milk, and 1 teaspoon salt and bring just to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally (liquid will thicken). Stir in rajas, then pour mixture evenly into baking dish. Sprinkle reserved 1/2 cup rajas on top.
  • Bake until potatoes are tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.

SOUTHWESTERN POTATO GRATIN

Roasted poblanos are so good in this! From the Bon Appetit Cookbook via Rob Kaspar in the Baltimore Sun. Queso Anejo is a salty, dry, aged white cheese but Romano is an acceptable substitute.

RUSTIC POTATO AND POBLANO GRATIN



Rustic Potato and Poblano Gratin image

Okay -- not a very low cal dish, but delicious-sounding none the less. I love poblano peppers because they have tremendous flavor, but not much heat. This dish was written for the slow cooker.

Provided by DailyInspiration

Categories     Potato

Time 4h50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 poblano chiles
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (or olive oil)
4 large russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
salt (smoked if possible)
1/4 lb monterey jack cheese, grated (or sharp cheddar)
1/2 cup water
3 garlic cloves, peeled
1 cup heavy cream (or half and half)

Steps:

  • To roast the peppers, place them on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil about 8 inches from the broiler. Broil them until the skin blisters and turns black on both sides (do not burn the chilies themselves - only the skin). Turn once during broiling. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and quickly cover the peppers with a clean dish towel. Let them sit, covered, until they are cool. Using a paring knife or your fingers, carefully peel off the skins, then slit one side and remove the seeds and veins. Cut the peppers into thin strips.
  • Melt the butter in the bottom of the slow cooker insert. Place a layer of sliced potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker insert (the author states that she uses a bit more than one potato per layer). Sprinkle lightly with freshly ground smoked or regular salt. Place a thin layer of cheese (about 1/3 of the cheese) on top of the potatoes. Place about half of the pepper strips on top of the cheese. Repeat with another layer of potatoes, salt, cheese and peppers. Finish with a layer of potatoes.
  • Pour the water over the potatoes. Cover and cook on low for about 1 1/2 hours, or until the potatoes are beginning to get tender.
  • Using a garlic press, press the garlic into the cream; pour the cream mixture over the potatoes, then add a last layer of the cheese sprinkled with a bit of salt. Re-cover and cook for another 3 hours or until the sauce has thickened and the potatoes are quite tender.

POBLANO CHORIZO SCALLOPED POTATOES RECIPE BY TASTY



Poblano Chorizo Scalloped Potatoes Recipe by Tasty image

This is the holiday side dish that your family will beg you to make again next year. Hearty and covered in Oaxaca cheese, this chorizo-laced, poblano-studded potato gratin is simply delicious.

Provided by Katie Aubin

Categories     Sides

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
1 lb chorizo sausage, casing removed
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 small white onion, roughly chopped
2 poblano peppers, seeded and roughly chopped
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
2 cups heavy cream
5 russet potatoes, sliced 1/8 in (3 mm) thick
10 oz shredded oaxaca cheese
2 scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (170°C). Grease a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking dish with the butter.
  • Add the chorizo to a large pan over medium-high heat and sauté until cooked through, 5-6 minutes. The chorizo will not change color, but it will give off a lot of red oil and become firm enough to break up with a spatula or wooden spoon.
  • Transfer the chorizo to a bowl with a slotted spoon, leaving about a tablespoon of oil behind in the pan.
  • Add the garlic, onion, and poblanos to the pan and sauté until the oil is absorbed and the onions are translucent and red, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the salt, chorizo, and cream to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cream thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove the solids from the cream mixture and set aside. The infused cream should be the consistency of a thin gravy. If not, continue to simmer until that consistency is reached.
  • Arrange a layer of potato slices in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with some of the chorizo mixture. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and chorizo mixture until the dish is full, finishing with a layer of chorizo and vegetables. Pour the cream sauce over the top and shake the pan slightly so the sauce settles to the bottom of the dish. Cover the pan tightly with foil.
  • Bake for about 60 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
  • Remove the dish from the oven and turn on the broiler. Uncover the pan, and scatter the Oaxaca cheese over the top. Place the pan under the broiler to melt and crisp the cheese, 2-3 minutes. Watch very closely so it doesn't burn.
  • Let the scalloped potatoes rest for at least 15 minutes, then garnish with the scallions before serving.
  • Enjoy!

POTATO AND CHILE GRATIN



Potato and Chile Gratin image

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 , ancho chile kimmy
1 clove garlic (small), minced
1 cup canned fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or to taste
2 pounds baking potatoes (3), peeled, quartered lengthwise, and thinly sliced crosswise

Steps:

  • 1. Wipe the chiles with damp paper towel to remove any dust and cut them open. Remove the stems, seeds, and veins. In a dry skillet, over medium heat, toast the chiles until aromatic, about 6 to 8 seconds on each side. Put the chiles in a bowl and barely cover with hot water. Soak for 20 minutes. 2. Transfer the chiles to a blender and discard the water. Add the garlic and chicken broth. Blend for 1 minute to a smooth purée. Add the cream, salt, and pepper. Pulse just to mix. Reserve in the blender jar. 3. Preheat the oven to 375°. Brush an 8-inchsquare baking dish with vegetable oil. Arrange the sliced potatoes in the dish. Pour the chile mixture evenly over the potatoes. Bake uncovered until the potatoes are tender, and the sauce is bubbling, about 45 minutes. Serve hot.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes."

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for ripe poblano chiles, Yukon Gold or red potatoes, and a good quality Gruyère cheese.
  • Roast the poblano chiles before using them: Roasting the chiles brings out their smoky, slightly sweet flavor. Be sure to remove the charred skin before adding them to the gratin.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly. You can use a mandoline or a sharp knife to slice the potatoes.
  • Layer the potatoes and poblano chiles in a single layer: This will ensure that they cook evenly. If you overcrowd the dish, the potatoes will steam instead of roast.
  • Use a combination of cheeses: A combination of Gruyère, Parmesan, and cheddar cheeses provides a rich, flavorful topping for the gratin.
  • Bake the gratin until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly: This usually takes about 30 minutes. Serve the gratin hot, garnished with chopped parsley or cilantro.
