POTATO GRATIN LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°; spray a 13 x 9 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Saute the onions in a skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil until just soft.
• Stir in the garlic, and cook another minute until just aromatic.
• Add the tomatoes, rosemary, oregano, and basil.
• Continue to cook until all moisture has evaporated, about 10 minutes.
• *Toasting the bread crumbs--in a nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter; add the bread crumbs and combine, stirring to coat evenly while cooking; cook until golden brown and aromatic, about 5 minutes; remove from heat and let cool.
• To assemble--Layer 1/2 of the lasagna noodles in the prepared casserole dish; top with half of the sliced potatoes, and season with salt and pepper.
• Top the potatoes with half of the tomato mixture, and sprinkle with half the cheeses.
• Repeat layering, ending with cheese; sprinkle evenly with toasted bread crumbs.
• Cover the gratin with foil and bake for 30 minutes; remove the foil and bake 15-20 minutes to brown the cheese.
• Let stand 5 minutes to set the cheese before slicing and serving.
• Cut in smaller portions and serve as a side dish with roasted chicken; or cut in larger portions to serve as a main meal.

SWEET POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Peel the sweet potatoes, and then slice them into even rounds (1/8-to-1/4-inch thick). A mandoline or the slicing attachment on a food processor is the best way to do this.
• Place the sliced sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add the garlic, salt and pepper. Toss well to coat.
• Coat the inside of a 3-quart baking dish with the butter. Arrange an overlapping layer of sweet potatoes on the bottom of the dish in a clockwise pattern. Sprinkle around some of the Parmesan and Gruyere cheeses. Continue layering the gratin, going in a counter-clockwise direction (this will keep the gratin from falling over on your plate after it is cut). Again, add some of the cheese before adding the next layer. Continue alternating layers until the gratin is full.
• Bring the half-and-half to a simmer on the stovetop and pour it over the potatoes. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place a heatproof dish on top of the foil. Place in the oven to bake for 20 minutes.
• Remove the foil from the baking dish and cover the top of the gratin with some extra grated cheese. Continue baking until the top is golden brown and bubbling, 20 to 30 minutes more. Remove from the oven and cool 20 minutes before serving.
