Swiss Potato Gratin image

I have had this recipe in my files for a long time - originally given to me by a friend. Love the gruyere cheese in this dish. Cook time depends upon thickness of potatoes - 45 minutes minimum cook time. Originally from Allrecipes

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lb red-skinned boiling potatoes
1 c ricotta cheese
3/4 c parsley, chopped
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
nutmeg to taste
1 egg
1 c heavy cream (approximately)
butter for greasing baking dish
1/4 lb gruyere cheese, grated (about 1 cup)

Steps:

  • 1. Wash potatoes well. Slice potatoes thin and drop them into a pot of cold, salted water. Set over high heat and bring to a boil. Boil potatoes for 1 minute, drain, and rinse with cold water. Drain again and pat dry.
  • 2. Combine ricotta and parsley and season generously with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
  • 3. Beat the egg briefly and add enough heavy cream to make 1 cup of liquid. Season with salt and pepper and nutmeg.
  • 4. Lightly butter a shallow, oval gratin dish measuring 9 x 12 inches. Arrange a layer of slightly overlapping potato slices in the dish. Dot with about one third of the ricotta mixture; sprinkle with one-third of the cheese. Repeat, using all of the ingredients and ending with a potato layer.
  • 5. Gently pour the egg and cream mixture into the dish, lifting potato slices with a fork if necessary to allow the cream to spread evenly among them.
  • 6. Bake on the center rack of a preheated 350 degree oven for 35-45 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and the cheese is browned and bubbling. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
