Potato Gratin With Gruyere And Creme Fraiche Recipes

POTATOES AU GRATIN WITH GRUYERE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 F.
• Slice the potatoes into thin rounds - less than ¼ inch in thickness.
• Add the milk, cream, and whole garlic cloves to a large saucepan and heat on a burner at medium until simmering, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon.
• Add the sliced potatoes to the pan and let them simmer in the garlic infused milk/cream for 5 minutes, and move the potatoes around in the pan frequently with a wooden spoon to prevent them from sticking to the bottom.
• Using a large slotted spoon, remove the potatoes from the pan and add about half of them to a large, ovenproof baking dish. Spread the potatoes out in an even layer.
• Remove the rest of the potatoes from the pan and set them aside.
• Remove the garlic cloves from the pan and pour about half of the cream mixture evenly over the top of the potatoes in the oven dish.
• Sprinkle salt and pepper over the potatoes, then sprinkle half of the grated cheese evenly over the top.
• Add the remaining potatoes on top in another layer, then add the cream, salt and pepper, and cheese once again.
• Bake the potatoes for 45 to 50 minutes, or until they are bubbling and golden on the top.
• Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for several minutes, then serve, optionally sprinkled with fresh chives.

SCALLOPED POTATOES WITH CREME FRAICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Rub the garlic all over the inside of a 3-quart baking dish, then mince it. Grease the dish with about 1/2 tablespoon butter.
• Slice the potatoes about 1/8 inch thick (a mandoline works well). Combine in a large saucepan with the minced garlic, the remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons butter, the half-and-half, creme fraiche, flour, thyme, mace, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt, and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the chives and transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, shaking it to distribute the potatoes evenly. Bake, uncovered, until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 1 hour 5 minutes, occasionally spooning some of the liquid over the top. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
• You can also make the scalloped potatoes in individual ramekins; bake about 40 minutes.

POTATOES AU GRATIN WITH GRUYERE CHEESE RECIPE

Steps:

• Grate the gruyere and cheddar cheeses and place into the refrigerator until ready.
• In a bowl, add the heavy cream, the minced garlic, and the melted butter and combine well using a whisk. Set aside
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
• Peel the potatoes and using a mandoline or knife, slice potatoes 1/8″ thick and place slices into a large pot or large bowl with cold water
• When all the potatoes are sliced, drain them completely and pat dry
• Layer 1/3 of the thinly sliced potatoes in a 9×13 inch casserole dish or similar baking dish
• Pour 1/3 of the heavy cream mixture, 1/3 of the salt and pepper and thyme, and 1/3 of each of cheddar and gruyere cheese over the potatoes
• Repeat this process for the second and third layer but on the third layer do not add the shredded cheese
• Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 75 minutes or until the center potatoes are tender (use a knife to test)
• Remove the au gratin potatoes from the oven and remove foil. On the top layer of potatoes add the remaining cheese and return to the oven
• Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheeses are golden brown and the dish is bubbling
