POTATOES AU GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Butter a 1 1/2 quart baking dish with about 1 tablespoon of the softened butter.
• Arrange a layer of potatoes in the baking dish, and sprinkle some of the cheeses over them. Continue layering potatoes and cheeses until you've used them all, ending with a layer of potatoes.
• In a small bowl, whisk the cream with the salt and pepper; pour this over the potatoes. Dot the remaining butter over the top and sprinkle with the paprika. Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown on top. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

FRENCH ONION SOUP POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• For the caramelized onions: In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Once melted and bubbling, add a large handful of the onions and cook until translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat until all the onions have been added. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions turn medium brown, about 30 minutes. If the onions start to get too dark, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of beef stock as necessary. Add the sherry to deglaze the pan. Add the mustard and stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• For the potato gratin: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, cut the potatoes into thin slices. Do your best to keep the potatoes in a stack--this will make it easier to layer them in the pan. Set the potatoes aside.
• Use the reserved butter wrapper to lightly grease the bottom and sides of a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet. Discard the wrapper.
• Arrange a thin shingled layer of potatoes in concentric circles around the skillet. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper, then arrange an even layer of caramelized onions on top of the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
• In a medium bowl, combine the Gruyere and mozzarella and reserve half for later use. Sprinkle on a layer of the remaining cheese mixture over the onions. Repeat the layers until all the ingredients (not including the reserved cheese) have been used. Press down firmly on the layers to flatten.
• In a large bowl or measuring cup, combine the heavy cream and beef stock and pour over the gratin. Cover the skillet with foil and place on a sheet pan. Bake the potatoes, covered, until the top and edges have begun to brown and the potatoes are tender, 1 hour 15 to 1 hour 30 minutes. You can test by inserting a knife into the potatoes; if it goes in and comes out without resistance, then the potatoes are done.
• Remove the skillet from the oven, remove the foil and turn the broiler on high. Combine the croutons and French fried onions. Cover the gratin with a layer of the crouton mixture followed by the remaining cheese. Broil until golden brown and bubbly, 5 to 8 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

SOUTHERN FRIED POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Grip frozen ham end with a paper towel and use the Microplane to finely grate ham over parchment paper. (As much as you can, avoid the fatty parts.) Yields 6 or 7 tablespoons. Bake 1 hour.
• After baking, the ham salt will be completely dried out, crispy, and reduced by half. Rub between your fingers to break up any clumps. Transfer ¾ to a bowl to layer potatoes and ¼ for garnish and set aside. (Ham salt can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature.)
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Peel potatoes, then slice ⅛-inch thick on a mandoline.
• Spread 2 tablespoons bacon fat across the bottom of the cast-iron skillet; cover with a layer of potato slices, slightly overlapping. Season lightly with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of ham salt. Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of melted butter over the potatoes, then dust with Gruyère. Add another layer of the potatoes and repeat seasoning with salt, pepper, ham salt, butter, and cheese. Continue until the potatoes, butter, Gruyère, and ham salt are used up, about 4 layers, lightly tamping down each layer as you go. When done, drizzle 2 tablespoons bacon fat over the top.
• Set the skillet over medium heat. When the potatoes start sizzling (after about 2 minutes), remove from heat and cover the skillet lightly with aluminum foil. Bake 30 minutes, then remove foil and bake another 15-20 minutes, or until a knife can be inserted without resistance.
• Run a metal spatula around the edges of the skillet to release the potatoes. Give the skillet a jiggle to make sure the bottom is free. Place a plate over the skillet and invert to transfer. Garnish with remaining Gruyère and ham salt. Serve warm.
