POTATO GRATIN WITH PEPPERS, ONIONS AND TOMATOES
A Lydie Marshall gratin worth making just for the smell while it's cooking--but it sure does taste good. This can also be made in individual gratin dishes--just adjust the baking time for the smaller quantities.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Dribble 1 tablespoon of olive oil into a 2-quart rectangular or 14-inch-by-8-inch-by 2-inch oval baking dish and scatter 1/4 of the minced garlic over the bottom of the pan.
- Arrange the vegetables in layers, starting with the potatoes and peppers and finishing with the tomatoes and onion.
- Sprinkle salt, freshly ground pepper, and oregano and about 1/4 of the garlic between each layer.
- Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the surface and bake for 1 1/2 hours or until fork-tender.
- Note: The easiest way to slice the potatoes is with a mandoline. Remember that the thicker the potato slices, the longer it will take to bake.
- Note2: As I have wonderful dried oregano from Greece, I use that as it is better than what I can get fresh.

POTATO-TOMATO GRATIN
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Heat a large saute pan or Dutch oven over high heat for 2 minutes. Swirl in 3 tablespoons olive oil, and then add the onions, 1 teaspoon thyme, 1 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Cook 6 minutes, stirring often, and then turn the heat down to medium. Add the butter, and cook 15 minutes, stirring and scraping with a wooden spoon, until the onions start to caramelize. Turn the heat down to low and continue cooking for about 10 minutes, stirring often, until the onions are a deep golden brown. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
- Use a mandoline to slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch-thick rounds. Toss them with the cream, 1 teaspoon thyme, 1 teaspoon salt and some pepper.
- Cut the tomatoes into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange them on a plate and season with 1 teaspoon salt and some pepper.
- Place half the caramelized onions in an even layer in a 9-by-9-inch (or equivalent) gratin or baking dish. Arrange one layer of alternating potatoes and tomatoes on top of the onion layer. Layer a couple of slices of cheese and scatter some olives over the cheese. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the cream from the potatoes and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with 1 teaspoon salt, a healthy pinch of pepper, 1/2 teaspoon thyme and half the basil.
- Scatter the rest of the caramelized onions over the potatoes and tomatoes. Arrange another layer of potatoes, tomatoes and cheese on top; make this layer pretty, because it will be the top of your gratin. Pour the remaining cream from the potatoes and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over the potatoes and tomatoes. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, a pinch of pepper, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon thyme, olives and basil. Press the vegetables down with your fingers. The cream and oil will come up through the layers and coat the vegetables evenly.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake until the potatoes are tender when pierced, about 2 hours. Remove the gratin from the oven and uncover it, being careful of the steam.
- Turn the oven up to 450 degrees F and return the gratin, uncovered, to the oven. Cook until the juices have thickened and the top is nice and golden brown (as in "gratineed"), another 25 to 30 minutes.

From "Dinner Parties," by Jessica Strand. This sounds like it would be a great and impressive side dish. I haven't tried it yet but think when I do that I might add some seasonings - maybe Italian seasoning or Herbes de Provence.

POTATOES AND PEPPERS
This dish is a classic: Easy, filling, and very tasty! I served it as a side with grilled shrimp and corn on the cob and it was a huge hit. Would also be good at breakfast instead of hash browns.

Tips:
- Use a variety of peppers and onions: Different types of peppers and onions will give your dish a more complex flavor. For example, you could use red, yellow, and green bell peppers, as well as sweet onions, Vidalia onions, and shallots.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses: Gruyère, Parmesan, and cheddar are all classic choices for potato gratin, but you can also try using other cheeses, such as mozzarella, Fontina, or goat cheese.
- Make sure to slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming too mushy.
- Layer the potatoes, peppers, and onions evenly: This will ensure that all of the vegetables are cooked through evenly.
- Bake the potato gratin until it is golden brown and bubbly: This will take about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Let the potato gratin rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Potato gratin is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a little planning and effort, you can make a potato gratin that is sure to impress your family and friends.
