Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 cups heavy whipping cream
2 cups low-salt chicken broth
6 large fresh thyme sprigs
4 large fresh sage sprigs
2 large fresh rosemary sprigs
2 large garlic cloves, pressed
1 Turkish bay leaf
1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 1/2 pounds russet potatoes
2 pounds turnips
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Position rack in top third of oven and preheat to 350°F. Bring first 11 ingredients to boil in large saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer until mixture is reduced to 33/4 cups, about 35 minutes. Strain cream mixture into large bowl.
  • Peel potatoes; cut into 1/8-inch-thick rounds, adding immediately to cream mixture to prevent discoloration. Peel turnips; cut into 1/8-inch-thick rounds. Add to potato mixture; stir to coat.
  • Pour vegetable mixture into 15x10x2-inch glass baking dish and press to even layer. Cover dish with foil. Bake 1 hour. Uncover; sprinkle with cheese. Bake until top is golden brown, potatoes are tender, and most of cream mixture is absorbed, about 25 minutes longer.

This recipe is a fail. The gratin was dry and tasteless. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my gratin turned out watery and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but something must have gone awry. I'll try it again sometime, but I'll have to make some adjustments.

This gratin was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper. However, the texture was perfect and the cheese topping was delicious. With a few tweaks, this recipe could be really great.

I made this gratin for my vegetarian friends and they loved it! The creamy sauce and crispy cheese topping were a big hit. Even my meat-eating friends enjoyed it. Will definitely be making this again.
