CREAMY POTATO AND LEEK GRATIN



Creamy Potato and Leek Gratin image

Cutting leeks into large pieces (they almost dissolve when thinly sliced) gives them a presence equal to disks of potato, while cooking the vegetables separately-the leeks are braised in butter, the spuds are simmered in milk and cream-preserves their distinct flavors. The glorious results will supply the homiest meatloaf supper with pizzazz.

3 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 lb russet (baking) potatoes
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
2 tsp thyme leaves
Special Equipment

  • Meanwhile, peel potatoes and slice crosswise 1/16 inch thick with slicer. Transfer to a large heavy pot with cream, milk, thyme, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally (liquid will thicken). Stir in leeks, then transfer to baking dish.

POTATO LEEK GRATIN



Potato Leek Gratin image

Layer thinly sliced potatoes in a gratin dish, and then take your time sautéing the leeks, letting them turn a little golden and crisp around the edges, which brings out their sweetness. Add the leeks to the potatoes, and using the same pan in which you cooked the leeks, scrape up the brown bits at the bottom of the pan with a mix of cream, garlic, thyme and nutmeg, pouring that over the potatoes and leeks.
