STEAKHOUSE POTATOES ROMANOFF

They say what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, but that's mostly because people just don't remember exactly what happened. Well, the only thing I didn't forget was this special potato gratin that Chef John Schenk taught me how to make 10 years ago at his restaurant Strip House. Not only is it the soul mate of steak, but it's also a great side dish for big holiday gatherings since you can make it the day before and bake when needed.

Tips:

  • Selecting the Right Potatoes: Choose firm, medium-sized potatoes with smooth skin and no blemishes. Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are good options.
  • Properly Boiling the Potatoes: Place the potatoes in a pot, cover them with cold water, and bring them to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Seasoning the Potatoes: While the potatoes are still hot, season them with salt, pepper, and butter. This will help them absorb the flavors better.
  • Creating the Cheese Sauce: Use a good quality Swiss cheese for the cheese sauce. Gruyère or Emmental cheeses can also be used. Make sure the cheese is finely grated so that it melts smoothly.
  • Adding the Onion and Garlic: Sauté the onion and garlic in butter until the onion is translucent. This will add flavor and aroma to the cheese sauce.
  • Using a Double Boiler: If you don't have a double boiler, you can create one by placing a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. This will help prevent the cheese sauce from curdling.
  • Combining the Potatoes and Cheese Sauce: Gently fold the cooked potatoes into the cheese sauce until they are evenly coated. Be careful not to overmix, as this could break the potatoes.
  • Baking the Potato Romanoff: Pour the potato mixture into a greased baking dish and top it with breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Bake in a preheated oven until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  • Serving the Potato Romanoff: Let the Potato Romanoff cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives for added flavor and color.
