Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons butter, softened
8 large russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
3 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 cups freshly grated sharp Cheddar
2 green onions, sliced thin (white and light green parts only)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a large baking dish with the butter.
  • Slice the potatoes into sticks, and then cut the sticks to create a dice.
  • Combine the cream and milk in a bowl. Add the flour, salt and some pepper. Whisk it together well so that the flour is incorporated into the milk/cream mixture. Add the diced potatoes to the prepared baking dish and pour the creamy mixture all over the top.
  • Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 to 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake 15 to 20 minutes more.

Creamy, dreamy and divine.

POTATOES AU GRATIN



Potatoes au Gratin image

The humble potato gets the red carpet treatment in this easy yet luxurious recipe for potatoes au gratin. Sliced Yukon Gold or russet potatoes (you can use either, but don't use a combination as they cook at different rates) are layered with half-and-half or heavy cream, topped with butter and grated cheese, then baked until golden and bubbly. Feel free to play around: Add leeks, onions, garlic or more cheese between the layers. Experiment with fresh or dried herbs. It's incredibly adaptable and practically foolproof. Just don't forget to season with salt and pepper as you go. Like all potato dishes, it needs plenty of seasoning.

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 to 4 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 to 3 cups half-and-half or heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan or Gruyère
Pinch of nutmeg (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Seasoning each layer with salt and pepper as you go, layer the potatoes in a 10- or 12-inch ovenproof skillet.
  • Dot the top with 2 tablespoons butter. Pour in half-and-half. (It should come about 3/4 of the way to the top.)
  • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to low and cook for 10 minutes, uncovered, until the half-and-half has reduced by about half.
  • Transfer to the oven and bake until the top is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 300 degrees and cook until the potatoes are fork tender and the top is nicely browned, about 8 minutes more. Top with grated cheese and return to the oven until the cheese is melty and golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with a pinch of nutmeg, if using, and serve.
