Goat Cheese Potato Gratin Recipes

GOAT CHEESE POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 375° F.
• Arrange potato slices in a 8×15 baking pan or in small gratin dishes, arrange the slices in a way that small spaces are left (to allow the sauce to distribute evenly).
• Combine the milk, 1 cup of goat cheese, whole garlic cloves, egg, and salt in a blender and mix until all the ingredients are well combined.
• Add the heavy cream to the blended mix and stir lightly, don't blend the cream or the sauce will become too thick, which keeps the sauce from seeping between the potatoes.
• Pour the sauce over the potatoes, it should barely cover them but should seep through the layered potato slices.
• Bake for about 30-40 minutes, until the top begins to golden.
• Remove from oven, sprinkle with remaining crumbled goat cheese, ground pepper and fresh herbs.
• Turn the broiler on and return pan to oven, broil for about 5 minutes or until goat cheese begin to brown.
• Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to solidify.

GOAT CHEESE MASHED-POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2- to 2-inch pieces, and the garlic, with enough salted cold water to cover the potatoes by 1/2 inch. Bring to a simmer and cook, covered, for 15 to 25 minutes, or until they are tender but not falling apart.
• While the potatoes are cooking, in a small saucepan heat the cream with the 1 cup butter, the goat cheese, and salt and pepper, to taste over moderately low heat, stirring, until the butter and cheese are just melted and smooth. Keep the mixture warm.
• Drain the potatoes and garlic and force them through a food mill fitted with the medium disk or a ricer into a bowl. With an electric mixer beat in the butter mixture, the scallion, and salt and pepper to taste, beating just until the potatoes are fluffy and smooth (do not over-beat), and transfer the mixture to a 1-quart shallow flameproof baking dish. Dot with remaining 2 tablespoons butter.
