Best New Potato Gratin Recipes

GRILLED PEPPERED NEW YORK STRIP WITH SHALLOT-POMMERY SAUCE SPINACH-SHIITAKE-POTATO GRATIN DAUPHINOISE

Steps:

• Season the steaks liberally with salt and 5-peppercorn mix. On a hot grill, mark the steaks and cook each side about 4 to 5 minutes. I prefer medium rare, which takes about 8 minutes total. Make sure to let the steaks rest after grilling for about 3 minutes to let the meat relax.
• For the mustard oil: In a bowl, whisk mustard, turmeric and salt with water to form a paste. Whisk in oil and let stand overnight. Mixture will separate, don't re-mix before using, you want to use the clear flavored oil off the top.
• For the shallot sauce: In a 1 quart stainless steel saucepan, add 1 tablespoon of butter and caramelize the shallots. Season. Add the red wine and reduce until almost dry. Add the mustard and saute for 2 minutes then add the cream. Heat the cream until hot, but not boiling. Pour into a blender and blend at high speed. Add the remaining butter and check for seasoning. Keep warm in a water bath.
• For the gratin: Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl, mix everything together. Taste the cream for proper seasoning. Dump contents in a baking dish with at least a 2-inch lip. Make sure the cream covers the mixture. Bake in oven for 30 minutes, then stir well. Bake another 45 minutes until cream is thickened and potatoes are soft.
• Cut the gratin with a ring mold and place in the center of a plate. Spoon shallot-pommery sauce around the gratin. Slice the steak and encircle the gratin. Garnish with crispy onions and mustard oil.

RACK OF LAMB WITH NEW POTATO, ONION & THYME GRATIN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Heat a small roasting tin, and coat the lamb with 1 tbsp of the oil and some sea salt. Place the lamb, skin-side down, in the tin until the fat has turned brown, then sear all over. Transfer to a plate.
• Add the onion to the tin and cook for about 10 mins until soft. Stir in the potatoes, thyme, garlic and stock, and press down with a spoon. Put the lamb on top and roast in the oven for 25-30 mins until the potatoes are tender and the lamb cooked to your liking.
• Leave to rest under some foil for about 10 mins. Slice the lamb into cutlets and scatter with the reserved thyme sprigs. Serve with a spoonful of the potatoes and some simply cooked asparagus, if you like.
