Gratinéed Crémeux Potatoes

 

Instructions:

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Thinly slice the potatoes, about 1/8 inch thick. A mandoline can help achieve consistent slices.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and milk until well combined.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then add the shredded cheddar and grated Parmesan.

Step 7

Stir continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce has thickened.

Step 8

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 9

Grease a large, flat baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 10

Arrange half of the potato slices in the bottom of the dish.

Step 11

Pour half of the cheese sauce over the potatoes, spreading it evenly.

Step 12

Layer the remaining potato slices on top, then cover with the remaining cheese sauce.

Step 13

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 14

Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbling.

Step 15

Let the gratin cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 16

Garnish with fresh rosemary.

Step 17

Add More Flavor: Mix in gruyere, Swiss, or fontina cheese for a more complex flavor.

Step 18

Enhance the Layers: Add caramelized onions or fried bacon between the layers of potatoes for extra depth.

Step 19

Prevent Over-Browning: If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil without sealing the edges for the remaining cooking time.

Enjoy your delicious and creamy potato gratin, sure to be a hit with your loved ones!
