CREAMY POTATO GRATIN
There is an annual color war in our household, with one faction demanding sweet potatoes with marshmallows, the other countering with a potato gratin. I parcook the potatoes in half-and-half before baking the gratin. It's easier to fine-tune the seasonings that way. And if there are leftovers, reheat them in the microwave and serve before the end of the weekend; this is not a dish that freezes well.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Use a mandolin, food processor or knife to slice potatoes moderately thin (the thickness of two pennies is perfect). Place in a 3-quart saucepan and add 3 cups half-and-half. The cream should barely cover the potatoes. Add a little more if needed. Bring to a simmer and cook gently for 6 to 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, butter a 2- to 2 1/2-quart baking dish. Dust dish with 2 1/2 tablespoons bread crumbs. Season potatoes by folding in salt (at least a teaspoon), pepper and nutmeg. Do not undersalt. Transfer potato mixture to the baking dish and dust top with remaining 1/2 tablespoon bread crumbs.
- Bake for 25 minutes. Allow to cool 10 minutes before serving. The gratin can be reheated, but if that's your plan, bake it for 20 minutes, leave it at room temperature and reheat it for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

[email protected]This potato gratin was a bit of a let down. The potatoes were not as creamy as I had hoped, and the sauce was a bit too salty. I would not make this again.

[email protected]This potato gratin was just okay. The potatoes were cooked evenly, but the sauce was a bit too thick. I would make it again, but I would make some changes to the recipe.
