Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups (12 fluid ounces/375 milliliters) chicken broth
1/2 cup (4 fluid ounces/125 milliliters) heavy (double) cream
3 cloves garlic
5 or 6 fresh sage leaves, chopped, or 1 teaspoon dried sage
1 center-cut ham steak, about 1 1/4 pound (625 grams), or 1 1/4 pound (625 grams) good-quality baked ham, cut into slices about 1/2 inch (12 millimeters) thick
4 large baking potatoes, about 3 pounds (1.5 kilograms) total weight, peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 pound (250 grams) sharp cheddar cheese, finely shredded
Ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a shallow 3-quart (3-liter) baking dish.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the broth, cream, garlic and sage. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, trim any fat from the ham steak, if using, and remove and discard the center bone. Cut the ham steak or baked ham into 1/2-inch (12-millimeter) dice. Arrange one-third of the potatoes in a layer on the bottom of the prepared dish. Top with half of the diced ham and one-third of the shredded cheese. Repeat the layers of potatoes, diced ham and shredded cheese. Top with the remaining potatoes and the remaining cheese.
  • Remove the broth-cream mixture from the heat. Remove and discard the garlic cloves. Season the broth-cream mixture to taste with pepper and pour over the layered vegetables, distributing it as evenly as possible. Bake, uncovered, until the potatoes are tender when pierced and the top is brown, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let stand for about 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes. Russet potatoes are the best choice for au gratin, as they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture. Avoid waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes, as they will not brown as well.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly. This will help them cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you try to cook too many potatoes at once, they will not cook evenly. Cook them in batches if necessary.
  • Use a good quality cheese. Gruyère or cheddar cheese are both excellent choices for au gratin. Avoid using pre-shredded cheese, as it does not melt as well.
  • Season the potatoes well. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good choices. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or nutmeg.
  • Bake the au gratin until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will usually take about 30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Spinach, ham, and potato au gratin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover ham and potatoes, and it is also a good way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. With these tips, you can make the perfect spinach, ham, and potato au gratin every time.
