Steakhouse Au Gratin Potatoes image

Last night was a last minute get together at our house. Six adults and two kids for dinner following a Bocci Ball game, or two! I decided on a steakhouse dinner of a thick sirloin on the grill, wedge salad with creamy, homemade blue cheese dressing, yeast rolls, sauteed spinach with lots of garlic and au gratin potatoes. Our friends brought the wine...Cyrus, Stag's Leap, we have great friends!

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 lbs potatoes
2 -4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups gruyere, grated
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
kosher salt
freshly cracked black pepper
2 teaspoons thyme
1 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Peel and dice the potatoes. *I have a vegetable chopper from Williams-Sonoma and this step only takes 5 minutes.
  • Parboil the potatoes 5 minutes in salty water.
  • Either spray a large baking dish with oil or rub it lightly with butter.
  • Drain and then toss the potatoes in the baking dish with the butter, thyme, nutmeg, more salt and pepper.
  • Mix almost all the cheese (save some for the top) throughout the potatoes and pour the half & half evenly over all.
  • Top the dish with the reserved cheese.
  • Bake for one hour or until the cheese is nicely melted, bubbling and turning a caramel color.
