Categories     Potato     Side     Bake

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups milk
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons flour
2/3 cup grated cheese
2 lbs purple potatoes, unpeeled and sliced thinly
1 cup sliced shallots
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 rashers bacon
1/2 cup grated parmesan
salt/pepper to taste
To make the gratin sauce place the butter into a small pan and melt. Add flour and stir to combine, cooking over medium heat for about 1 minute. Whisk in the milk and stir until thickened. Stir in cheese, when melted remove from heat. Salt and pepper to taste.
In a frying pan, add the olive oil and shallots. Sautee until shallots are slightly brown and carmelized. Remove from the pan. Add bacon and cook until cooked through but not crispy (it will get crispy in a later portion of the recipe, don't worry). Cut bacon into 1 inch pieces.

Steps:

  • Grease a gratin dish or shallow baking dish. Add half of the sliced potatoes to the dish. Sprinkle the shallots over the potato layer. Add the remaining potato slices to the dish. Pour the gratin sauce over the top of the potatoes, spooning into any visible cracks and crevices. Top with parmesan cheese. As a final step, add the bacon over the top. Place into a preheated 350 degree oven for 40 minutes. --Allen, of Eating Out Loud

I was a bit skeptical about using purple potatoes, but I'm so glad I did! They added a beautiful color and a slightly nutty flavor to the gratin.
