SO-CAL SWEET POTATO AND POTATO GRATIN



So-Cal Sweet Potato and Potato Gratin image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 poblano peppers
Unsalted butter, for the baking dish
2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 garlic clove, finely grated
3 sweet potatoes
2 russet potatoes
1 cup crumbled Cotija

Steps:

  • If you have a gas burner, roast the poblano peppers over the open flame, turning occasionally with tongs, until the peppers are well charred all over, about 4 minutes. If you do not have a gas burner, halve the peppers lengthwise, place them in a baking pan and broil them in a preheated broiler, skin-side up, until well charred. Place the charred peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for 10 minutes. Peel, stem and deseed the peppers, then cut into strips.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  • Stir together the cream, salt, lime zest, cumin and garlic in a bowl.
  • Peel the sweet potatoes and russet potatoes and thinly slice them with a mandoline (about 1/4-inch thick).
  • Arrange half of the russet potatoes in the buttered baking dish. Top with half of the sliced poblanos, then half of the sweet potatoes. Top with half of the cream mixture and 1/3 cup Cotija. Repeat with the remaining ingredients (potatoes, poblanos, sweet potatoes, cream and the remaining 2/3 cups Cotija) and press down firmly to submerge the potatoes as much as possible.
  • Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until the potatoes are tender, the liquid has absorbed, and the top is browned in spots, 25 to 30 minutes more.
  • Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Provided by Bibi

Categories     Desserts     Nut Dessert Recipes     Pecan Dessert Recipes

Time 1h50m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 23

¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup light brown sugar
¼ cup pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon bourbon
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups chopped pecans
1 teaspoon butter, or as needed
3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
2 cups mashed sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon bourbon
½ cup buttermilk
½ cup sour cream
½ cup pure maple syrup
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup bourbon
1 (7 ounce) can whipped cream, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the oven rack in the center of the oven. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Combine softened butter and brown sugar in a medium-sized bowl; stir until well combined. Add maple syrup, bourbon, and salt. Stir in pecans and mix until well coated. Set topping aside.
  • Butter a 10-inch tube pan. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper; butter the parchment paper and lightly dust with flour. Evenly spread topping into the bottom of the tube pan and set aside.
  • Whisk flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Mix softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar together in the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on medium speed until well combined, 3 to 4 minutes; the mixture will be a bit grainy in appearance. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on medium speed after each addition. Use a spatula to scrape down the bowl as needed. Add sweet potatoes and bourbon and mix on medium speed until well combined, scraping the bowl as needed.
  • Combine buttermilk and sour cream in a separate bowl.
  • Add 1/2 the flour mixture to the mixing bowl and mix on low speed until well blended. Add 1/2 the buttermilk mixture and beat on low until blended, scraping the bowl as needed. Add remaining flour to the mixing bowl and continue mixing. Add remaining buttermilk mixture and continue beating on low speed until batter is thick and smooth.
  • Pour batter into the prepared tube pan and place pan on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a wooden skewer inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 65 to 75 minutes. Remove cake from the oven and leave in the pan.
  • Prepare glaze by combining maple syrup, melted butter, and bourbon in a bowl. Use a wooden skewer to poke holes in the warm cake in the pan. Spoon 1/2 the glaze over the bottom of the cake.
  • Allow cake to cool on a wire rack, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Invert cake onto a serving plate, remove parchment paper, and drizzle remaining glaze over the top of the cake. Serve with whipped cream.
