If you'd like to make this less rich, use less cream and more milk.

Provided by Molly Stevens

Categories     Side dishes

Yield six to eight.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tsp. unsalted butter, at room temperature
1-1/2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
2 large cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
2 to 3 sprigs rosemary, 3 inches long
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
4 oz. grated Swiss cheese (about 1 cup)
2 oz. freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (about 1/2 cup)
2 lb. russet potatoes (3 to 4 medium)
Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper
4 oz. fresh goat cheese, crumbled (about 2/3 cup)

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with the butter.
  • Pour the milk and cream into a small saucepan. Add the garlic, rosemary, and nutmeg. Bring just to a simmer, cover, and remove from the heat. Set aside to infuse for at least 20 minutes. Combine the Swiss cheese and Parmigiano in a bowl.
  • Peel the potatoes and, using a mandoline or your sharpest knife, slice them into 1/8-inch-thick rounds. Arrange about one-third of the potatoes in a single overlapping layer in the baking dish, season with kosher salt and white pepper, and top with one-third of the Swiss-Parmigiano mix. Scatter over half of the goat cheese. Add a second overlapping layer of potatoes, more salt and white pepper, another third of the Swiss- Parmigiano mix, and the remaining goat cheese. Make a third layer with the remaining potatoes and season with salt and white pepper. Press down lightly to compact the layer
  • Remove the garlic and rosemary from the infused cream, and discard them. Set the cream over medium-high heat and watch carefully until it just begins to simmer; don't let it boil. Pour the cream over the potatoes and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  • Set the baking dish on the foillined baking sheet, and bake until the top is deeply brown and the potatoes are completely tender when poked with a skewer, 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

10 large potatoes

crumbled bacon

Steps:

  • PREHEAT OVEN AT 400F.
  • Slice potatoes and put them in water. (I slice them with a slicer because if you cut them by hand, OBVIOUSLY they will be way too thick when you layer them!).
  • Melt butter in a LARGE saucepan and add heavy cream, the parsley, garlic powder and onion powder. Bring to a SOFT boil.
  • When (soft) boiling, TURN OFF. Add sliced potatoes and let them sit for 10-15 minutes (this is to let it cook a little bit to cut off the oven time!).
  • In a BUTTERED lasagna pan, make one thin layer of potatoes. Then add a layer of grated parmesan cheese, mozzerella, asiago and the crumbled bacon, and evenly disburse ONE LADLE of the cream on top of the potatoes. Continue this step until you reach 1 inch from the top of the pan.
  • POUR the cream inside the pan, enough to cover the potatoes.
  • Top with a little more cheese and COVER, but leave one side OPEN to let the steam vent.
  • after 35 minutes, check the potatoes. If they are not soft yet, continue again for 15 more minutes.
  • UNCOVER then cook another 15 minutes.
  • Let stand and the sauce will thicken.

THREE CHEESE GARLIC SCALLOPED POTATOES



Three Cheese Garlic Scalloped Potatoes image

If you love cheese and love potatoes you'll adore this delicious recipe! You can use any three cheeses you like, but I find using a sharp cheddar, freshly grated Parmesan or Romano cheese, and thin sliced provolone (because it melts very well) are the best! Takes time to cook, but the result is so yummy and the smell is intoxicating!

Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup (packed) grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)
3/4 cup crumbled Danish blue cheese (about 4 ounces)
1/3 cup (packed) freshly grated Parmesan (about 1 1/4 ounces)
4 pounds russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
3 cups whole milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Mix cheddar cheese, blue cheese and Parmesan in small bowl.
  • Arrange half of potatoes in prepared baking dish, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle with teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle onion over, then flour. Dot with 2 tablespoons butter. Sprinkle half of cheese mixture over. Top with remaining potatoes, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 2 tablespoons butter. Reserve remaining cheese.
  • Bring milk to simmer in medium saucepan. Pour milk over potatoes (milk will not cover potatoes completely). Cover baking dish tightly with foil. Bake 45 minutes. Uncover dish (liquids in dish may look curdled); sprinkle potatoes with reserved cheese mixture. Bake uncovered until potatoes are tender and cheese is deep golden brown, about 45 minutes longer. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Cover and rewarm in 375°F oven about 20 minutes.) Remove from oven; let stand 15 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses. This will create a more complex and flavorful gratin. A good combination is to use a hard cheese, such as Parmesan or cheddar, a soft cheese, such as Brie or Camembert, and a creamy cheese, such as Gruyère or fontina.
  • Grate the cheese finely. This will help it melt evenly and smoothly.
  • Use fresh potatoes. They will have a better flavor and texture than older potatoes.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Layer the potatoes and cheese in a baking dish. Make sure to press down on the layers so that they are compact.
  • Bake the gratin in a preheated oven. This will help it cook evenly.
  • Cook the gratin until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Three-cheese potato gratin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover potatoes, and it can be served as a main course or a side dish. With its creamy, cheesy texture and crispy potato topping, three-cheese potato gratin is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
