Swedish Onions and Potatoes Au Gratin image

From the cookbook Onion Harvest Cookbook. Another cookbook given to me by a friend. For cook time, I'm including the cooking of the potatoes, because that has to be done concurrently, almost, with the onions.

POTATO GRATIN

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds russet (Idaho) potatoes of uniform size
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 medium garlic clove, crushed through a press
1 1/2 to 2 cups half-and-half or milk
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Freshly grated nutmeg to taste
4 tablespoons crème fraîche (optional)
1/3 to 1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Peel and wash the potatoes and slice them into rounds 1/8 inch thick, using a mandoline, the slicing disk of a food processor, or a sharp knife.
  • 2. Generously butter a 9 by 12-inch heavy shallow baking dish, preferably earthenware or cast-enamel, or an oval gratin dish of comparable size. (You can also use a 12-inch cast-iron skillet.) Rub the dish with half of the crushed garlic.
  • 3. In a small saucepan, bring the half-and-half to a simmer with the remaining garlic and season generously with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • 4. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Arrange the potatoes in one overlapping layer on the bottom of the dish. Season the layer generously with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Arrange two more layers on top, seasoning each layer liberally. You might not need all the potatoes. Press the layers down to compact them. Pour in enough half-and-half to come up just a little below the top layer of potatoes. Set the baking dish on a larger baking sheet, cover with foil, and bake until the potatoes feel tender when pierced with a knife, about 1 hour.
  • 5. Raise the oven temperature to 425°F, remove the foil, and bake until the top begins to brown, about 10 minutes. Pour just enough cream to cover the top, dab it with crème fraîche, if using, and sprinkle evenly with the Parmesan. Bake until the top is brown and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes more. Remove from the oven and let the potatoes stand for 10 minutes to absorb the cream. Cut into squares and serve.

POTATO GRATIN



Potato Gratin image

In this classic gratin, thinly sliced potatoes soak up all the goodness of a milk-and-cream mixture that has been spiked with nutmeg. A sprinkling of grated Gruyere cheese on top becomes gooey in the oven. Using a mandoline creates thin slices, which helps the gratin cook more evenly.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Main Dish Recipes     Casserole Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
1 garlic clove, halved
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 ounces Gruyere cheese, grated (1 cup)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Peel potatoes, and place in a bowl of water to prevent discoloring. Rub inside of a 9-by-12-inch oval baking dish with cut sides of garlic. Heat cream, milk, nutmeg, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat until bubbles form around edge. Season with pepper. Remove from heat.
  • Meanwhile, slice potatoes 1/8 inch thick; transfer to a bowl. Pour warm cream mixture over top. Mix well, using your hands to separate and coat potatoes, and transfer to prepared dish. Gently push potatoes down, and pour cream mixture from bowl over top. Sprinkle with Gruyere. Bake (with a baking sheet placed on the rack below to catch drips) until potatoes are fork tender and top is bubbling and brown, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

GARLIC POTATOES GRATIN



Garlic Potatoes Gratin image

An unbelievable rich twist on au gratin potatoes, this casserole develops a caramelized, cheesy, roasted-garlic crust as it bakes. However, this dish does not save well (leftovers tend to separate and become oily), so eat up! Wonderful with a ham dinner.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes. This will give your gratin a more complex flavor and texture. Good options include Yukon Gold, red potatoes, and russet potatoes.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly. This will help them cook evenly and will also create a more creamy texture.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the potatoes will steam instead of roast and you won't get that nice crispy crust.
  • Use a good quality cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your gratin. Grated Gruyère, Parmesan, or a combination of the two are all good choices.
  • Season the potatoes well. Salt, pepper, and garlic are all essential seasonings for potato gratin. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or nutmeg, to taste.
  • Bake the gratin until it's golden brown and bubbly. This will take about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Conclusion:

Potato gratin is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or a main course. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a few simple tips, you can easily make a potato gratin that will impress your family and friends.
