SO-CAL SWEET POTATO AND POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• If you have a gas burner, roast the poblano peppers over the open flame, turning occasionally with tongs, until the peppers are well charred all over, about 4 minutes. If you do not have a gas burner, halve the peppers lengthwise, place them in a baking pan and broil them in a preheated broiler, skin-side up, until well charred. Place the charred peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for 10 minutes. Peel, stem and deseed the peppers, then cut into strips.

• Peel the sweet potatoes and russet potatoes and thinly slice them with a mandoline (about 1/4-inch thick).
• Arrange half of the russet potatoes in the buttered baking dish. Top with half of the sliced poblanos, then half of the sweet potatoes. Top with half of the cream mixture and 1/3 cup Cotija. Repeat with the remaining ingredients (potatoes, poblanos, sweet potatoes, cream and the remaining 2/3 cups Cotija) and press down firmly to submerge the potatoes as much as possible.
• Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until the potatoes are tender, the liquid has absorbed, and the top is browned in spots, 25 to 30 minutes more.
• Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Layer one-third of the grilled sweet potatoes and onions on top of the Gruyere. Repeat twice¿one-third of the cheese, one-third of the vegetables¿to create three even cheese-vegetable layers. Pour the half-and-half mixture over the top, cover with foil and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until the sweet potatoes are tender and the gratin is golden brown, another 15 to 20 minutes. Let rest for 15 minutes before serving.

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.
