POTATO AND ZUCCHINI GRATIN



Potato and Zucchini Gratin image

This is a recipe I made up last week with whatever I happened to have in the fridge at the time. My whole family went crazy over it so I wrote it down and decided to post it just in case someone else wants a simple and fairly quick meal idea. Enjoy!

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 medium potatoes
5 zucchini (tiny ones or else 2 medium or 1 big)
250 ml cream (full fat or light)
300 g ham (I used 'parizaki' but Spam is good too)
1 small onion
1 garlic clove
1 tablespoon butter
salt and pepper
oregano
nutmeg (freshly grated)

Steps:

  • Peel potatoes and cut into quarters. Boil for around 20 minutes in salted water until slightly cooked. They should be firm.
  • Meanwhile melt butter in a small saucepan and add the onion which you have finely chopped and the minced garlic clove. If you don't like garlic much you can omit or if you love garlic you can double the cloves.
  • Sautee until the onion is translucent (about 5 minutes) and then add the chopped ham and cook for 2 minutes. Add some oregano to taste.
  • Drain the potatoes and chop into smaller pieces and place in a 20cm x 30cm baking dish.
  • Chop the zucchini into fairly small pieces and add to the potatoes. I had tiny fresh zucchini which I sliced but if you have larger ones you may have to chop them up and perhaps even remove the centres if they are very pulpy.
  • Add the zucchini to the potatoes and then mix in the onion-ham-butter mixture.
  • Pour over the cream and stir gently to coat well. You can add a little water especially to rinse out the cream container. ( Not more than 1/2 cup though).
  • Season with salt and pepper and some freshly ground nutmeg.
  • Bake at 180 celcius for around 35 minutes or until the top is a little brown and the cream has thickened into a sauce.
  • Serve with a green salad.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Choose waxy potatoes that will hold their shape during cooking, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss potatoes.
  • Slice the vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the vegetables are too thick, they will not cook through properly. If they are too thin, they will overcook and become mushy.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese: Cheese is what makes potatoes au gratin so decadent and delicious. Use a good quality, flavorful cheese that will melt well. Gruyère, Parmesan, and cheddar are all good choices.
  • Bake the potatoes au gratin until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a crispy top. If the potatoes au gratin are not baked long enough, they will be runny and undercooked. If they are baked too long, they will be dry and overcooked.

Conclusion:

Potatoes au gratin is a classic French dish that is sure to impress your guests. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its creamy, cheesy sauce and crispy potatoes, potatoes au gratin is the perfect comfort food. So next time you are looking for a delicious and satisfying dish to serve at your next gathering, give potatoes au gratin a try. You won't be disappointed!
