Nonstick cooking spray
3 large poblano chiles, charred, stemmed, seeded, and cut into 2-inch wide by 1/2-inch-thick strips
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup Mexican crema, or creme fraiche

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 cup coarsely grated Monterey Jack cheese

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix together the half-and-half and crema.
  • Arrange 1/2 of the potato rounds, overlapping slightly, in the prepared pie dish. Sprinkle 1/2 of the poblano-corn mixture on top, season with the salt and pepper, and top with 1/3 of the cheese.

Yield Makes 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 pounds red-skinned potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
5 fresh poblano chiles, seeded, peeled, chopped (about 4 cups)
1 medium onion, sliced
2 cups whipping cream
1 cup whole milk
1 large garlic clove
2 1/2 cups (packed) grated Gruyère cheese (about 10 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Cook potatoes in pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain potatoes in colander; cool completely. Peel and slice potatoes into 1/2-inch-thick rounds; place in large bowl. Sprinkle potatoes with salt and pepper.
  • Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chiles and onion and sauté until onion is very soft, about 15 minutes. Transfer chile mixture to food processor. Add cream, milk, and garlic; blend to form thick sauce. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over potatoes; stir gently to coat. Overlap half of potatoes with sauce in bottom of prepared dish. Sprinkle with half of cheese. Top with remaining potatoes and sauce, then remaining cheese. Bake gratin until heated through and brown on top, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are the best choices for this dish, as they hold their shape well when baked.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to slice the potatoes thinly and evenly.
  • Layer the potatoes and poblanos in a baking dish: Make sure to overlap the potatoes and poblanos slightly so that they cook evenly.
  • Season the potatoes and poblanos: Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika before baking.
  • Bake the potatoes and poblanos until tender: This will take about 30-35 minutes.
  • Top the potatoes and poblanos with cheese: Use a good quality cheddar cheese or a mixture of cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
  • Broil the potatoes and poblanos until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will take about 5-7 minutes.

Conclusion:

Potato and Poblano Gratin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
