Best Gilberts Potatoes Recipes

POTATO AND POBLANO GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Spray a glass 9 1/2-inch, deep dish pie dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine the poblano strips and corn.
• In a small bowl, mix together the half-and-half and crema.
• Arrange 1/2 of the potato rounds, overlapping slightly, in the prepared pie dish. Sprinkle 1/2 of the poblano-corn mixture on top, season with the salt and pepper, and top with 1/3 of the cheese. Repeat the layers, ending with the cheese. Pour the cream mixture over the potatoes. Place the pie dish on a baking sheet. Cover the dish tightly with foil. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is golden brown, about 30 minutes longer.
• Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
• Cook's Note: For easy peeling, enclose the charred poblanos tightly in a plastic bag.

STEAK HOUSE AU GRATIN POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9x13 inch baking pan with butter. Spread potatoes evenly in the pan.
• Whisk together heavy cream, milk, garlic, flour, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Pour cream mixture over the potatoes. Cover with foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove the foil. Continue baking until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 40 minutes. Remove potatoes from the oven and sprinkle Cheddar cheese on top. Return to oven and bake until the cheese is melted, 5 to 10 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

GRILLED GARLIC POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat grill for high heat.
• Arrange potato slices, separated by onion and butter slices, on a large piece of aluminum foil. Top with garlic, and season with parsley, salt, and pepper. Tightly seal potatoes in the foil.
• Place on the preheated grill, and cook 20 minutes, turning once, or until potatoes are tender.
• Sprinkle potatoes with Cheddar cheese, reseal foil packets, and continue cooking 5 minutes, until cheese is melted.

GARLIC POTATOES WITH JUNIPER BERRIES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350*F.
• Pour the olive oil into a heavy shallow baking dish large enough to hold the potatoes in a single layer.
• Sprinkle the juniper berries over the oil and place the dish in an oven for a few minutes to warm.
• Trim off the stem ends of the garlic cloves and rub off any feathery outer skin.
• Place the potatoes and garlic in the warm dish and roll them in the olive oil to lightly coat.
• Bake 10 minutes and roll the potatoes and garlic in the olive oil once more.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 300˚F and bake uncovered for 50 minutes or until the potatoes are just tender.
• Roll the potatoes in the olive oil to coat once more and transfer to a warm platter.
• Sprinkle with the lemon juice, salt and pepper, and oregano.
• Serve hot or warm, with toast, if desired.

POBLANO POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Roast chiles and make rajas:
• Roast chiles on their sides on racks of gas burners on high, turning with tongs, until skins are blackened all over, about 10 minutes. Immediately transfer to a bowl and let stand, covered tightly, 10 minutes.
• When chiles are cool enough to handle, peel or rub off skin. Slit chiles lengthwise, then stem, seed, and devein. Cut lengthwise into thin strips.
• Cook onions with 1 teaspoon salt in oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 8 minutes. Stir in chiles and remove rajas from heat. Reserve 1/2 cup rajas for topping.
• Make gratin:
• Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in middle. Generously butter a 3-quart shallow baking dish.
• Peel potatoes, then cut crosswise into 1/16-inch-thick slices with slicer. Transfer to a small heavy pot. Add cream, milk, and 1 teaspoon salt and bring just to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally (liquid will thicken). Stir in rajas, then pour mixture evenly into baking dish. Sprinkle reserved 1/2 cup rajas on top.
• Bake until potatoes are tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.
