SWEET & WHITE POTATO GRATIN



Sweet & White Potato Gratin image

This is a variation on the fabulous recipe in Williams-Sonoma's Holiday Celebrations cookbook. I made it a bit simpler by substituting cheddar for the fontina (not a really close substitution, I know, but I'm so much more likely to have it on hand, and it still tastes great!), replacing the fresh thyme with dried, and adding a French-fried onion topping instead of breadcrumbs, which adds a lovely flavor. I prefer goat cheese to the feta myself, but feta works just fine if you can't find the goat cheese. By the way, as an Italian, I am pleading with you NOT to use the canned powder masquerading as Parmesan cheese! The bagged, pre-shredded cheese I'll allow, however! :)

SWEET POTATO AND GOAT CHEESE GRATIN WITH BLACK OLIVES



Sweet Potato and Goat Cheese Gratin With Black Olives image

Provided by Elaine Louie

Categories     side dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings as a side dish

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds sweet potatoes or yams
3 ounces butter, unsalted
1 large shallot, finely chopped
3 ounces creamy fresh goat cheese
Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
1/4 cup Niçoise olives, pitted
2 tablespoons olive oil
4-5 basil leaves, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. If you are using an aluminum baking sheet, cover the bottom with parchment paper or Silpat, so that the potatoes won't discolor and turn brown while baking. If you are using a ceramic or stainless-steel baking sheet, you don't need to cover the bottom. Slice each sweet potato in half, lengthwise, and place face down on the tray. Bake until they are soft, about 35 to 45 minutes. Remove and allow to cool.
  • Increase the heat in the oven to 400 degrees, place the pitted olives on a small baking sheet, and bake until they become hard and brittle, about 20 to 25 minutes.
  • While the olives are baking, place a medium-size sauté pan with a heavy bottom over medium heat. Add the butter and brown it until it turns a hazelnut color and has a nutty fragrance, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add the chopped shallots and allow to cook for about 3 minutes until translucent. Be careful not to burn the butter.
  • When the sweet potatoes are cool, scoop out the insides and place in a bowl. Pour the butter and shallot mixture over the sweet potatoes, and mix. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, going lightly on the salt since the olives, which are added at the end, are salty. Place the sweet potato mix in a baking dish so that the sweet potatoes are one-inch thick. Spread the creamy goat cheese, in shallow dollops, over the sweet potatoes so that the sweet potatoes are clearly visible, at the edges and elsewhere. Bake at 400 degrees until the cheese and potatoes start to brown in some spots, about 15 minutes. The gratin won't brown like a traditional potato gratin; the colors of the sweet potatoes and the goat cheese will still be very present, but the goat cheese will turn beige, and the potatoes will begin to brown a bit.
  • Once the olives are cool, chop them finely, and mix with the olive oil and the chopped basil. Spoon the olive mixture over the sweet potatoes and serve.

SWEET POTATO GRATIN

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 pounds sweet potatoes (about 6 medium)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for topping
1 cup grated Gruyere, plus more for topping
2 cups half-and-half

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Peel the sweet potatoes, and then slice them into even rounds (1/8-to-1/4-inch thick). A mandoline or the slicing attachment on a food processor is the best way to do this.
  • Place the sliced sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add the garlic, salt and pepper. Toss well to coat.
  • Coat the inside of a 3-quart baking dish with the butter. Arrange an overlapping layer of sweet potatoes on the bottom of the dish in a clockwise pattern. Sprinkle around some of the Parmesan and Gruyere cheeses. Continue layering the gratin, going in a counter-clockwise direction (this will keep the gratin from falling over on your plate after it is cut). Again, add some of the cheese before adding the next layer. Continue alternating layers until the gratin is full.
  • Bring the half-and-half to a simmer on the stovetop and pour it over the potatoes. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place a heatproof dish on top of the foil. Place in the oven to bake for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the foil from the baking dish and cover the top of the gratin with some extra grated cheese. Continue baking until the top is golden brown and bubbling, 20 to 30 minutes more. Remove from the oven and cool 20 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for sweet potatoes that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid any potatoes that have soft spots or bruises.
  • Use a mandoline slicer: A mandoline slicer will help you get even, thin slices of sweet potatoes. If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to slice the potatoes.
  • Par-cook the sweet potatoes: Par-cooking the sweet potatoes will help them to soften and cook evenly in the gratin. You can par-cook the potatoes in boiling water or in the microwave.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: The cheese is one of the main flavors in sweet potato gratin, so choose a cheese that you love. Gruyère, Parmesan, and cheddar are all great options.
  • Season the gratin well: Don't be afraid to season the gratin well. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all great spices to use.
  • Bake the gratin until it is golden brown: The gratin is done baking when it is golden brown and bubbly. The cheese should be melted and slightly browned.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato gratin is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes, and it can be made ahead of time, making it a perfect dish for busy weeknights. The combination of sweet potatoes, cheese, and spices makes this dish a winner, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
