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:

  • Choose the right potatoes and zucchini. For the best results, select sweet potatoes that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid potatoes that are soft or have any signs of bruising. For the zucchini, choose medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have a deep green color.
  • Slice the potatoes and zucchini thinly. This will help them cook evenly and quickly. If you have a mandoline slicer, use it to get uniform slices. Otherwise, use a sharp knife to carefully slice the potatoes and zucchini as thinly as possible.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish. Make sure there is enough space between the potato and zucchini slices so that they can cook evenly. If the baking dish is too crowded, the vegetables will steam instead of roast and will not get crispy.
  • Season the vegetables generously. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to season the potatoes and zucchini. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or oregano, to taste.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Choose a cheese that melts well and has a strong flavor, such as Gruyère, cheddar, or Parmesan.
  • Bake the gratin until it is golden brown and bubbly. This will take about 30 minutes. Keep an eye on the gratin during baking to make sure it doesn't overcook.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato and zucchini au gratin is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy cheese sauce and crispy roasted vegetables, this dish is sure to be a hit. Serve it with your favorite main course or enjoy it as a snack.
