Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more melted for pan

1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Zest of 1 lemon, finely chopped (2 teaspoons)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup milk

  • Cover bottom of gratin dish with one-third of potato slices in an even layer. Sprinkle potatoes with one-third each of thyme, nutmeg, and lemon zest; season with salt and pepper. Dot with butter.

Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover with foil.

Categories     Side Dish     Potato Side Dish Recipes

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 garlic cloves, peeled
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons dried thyme leaves
4 pounds starchy potatoes, such as russets, peeled
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cups canned or cartoned chicken broth

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to lowest position. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • With motor running, drop garlic through the feeder tube of a food processor to mince. Scrape down sides of bowl. With motor running, add oil through feeder tube; continue to process. Transfer to a small bowl, stir in thyme and set aside. Switch to the slicing blade and slice the potatoes (or thinly slice them with a knife).
  • Brush a little of the garlic oil over the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch (or similar size) baking dish. Make 4 layers in this order: potatoes, a generous brushing of the oil, a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Slowly add broth at one corner to avoid washing off garlic and herbs.
  • Bake until most of the broth has been absorbed, about 45 minutes. To brown, move pan to middle rack and broil until spotty brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Let rest so potatoes continue to absorb liquid, about 10 minutes. May be made ahead, held at room temperature while roast cooks, then reheated.

Potato Gratin With Broth and Parmesan image

This is a simple and delicious Potato Gratin. I usually add some fresh minced herbs such as sage, thyme or parsley. I also never peel my potatoes no matter what potato dish I am making. (Except for gnocchi lol) Prep time is approximate. This is adapted from Cooks Illustrated, Nov. 1995 issue. I hope you enjoy as much as we do!

Time 1h35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 1/4 cups low sodium chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 bay leaf
1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/8-inch thick or less
1/4 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to center position and heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Rub bottom and sides of 5- to 6-cup gratin dish or shallow baking dish with garlic. Mince remaining garlic and set aside. Once garlic in dish has dried, about 2 minutes,spread dish with half the butter.
  • Bring broth, salt, pepper, bay leaf, cayenne (if desired), potatoes, other herbs if you are using and reserved garlic to boil in medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally with wooden spoon (liquid will just barely cover potatoes). Reduce heat and simmer until liquid thickens, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour potato mixture into prepared dish; shake dish or use fork to distribute potatoes evenly. Gently press down potatoes until submerged in liquid; dot with remaining butter.
  • Bake for about 1 hour 15 minutes until golden brown, basting once or twice during first 45 minutes and topping with grated parmesan cheese after 45 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or fingerling potatoes, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, such as Russet potatoes, making them ideal for gratin.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly and evenly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Use a good quality cheese: A flavorful cheese, such as Gruyère or Comté, will add richness and depth of flavor to the gratin.
  • Don't overcook the gratin: The potatoes should be tender but still slightly firm. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Let the gratin rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the gratin to set.

Conclusion:

Potato gratin is a classic French dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy, cheesy interior and crispy, golden-brown top, it's the perfect comfort food for any occasion. Whether you're serving it as a main course or a side dish, potato gratin is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying dish to make, give potato gratin a try.
