Steps:

• In a 6-quart pot, combine potatoes, cauliflower, roasted garlic, Holland House White Cooking Wine, stock, heavy cream, thyme, and salt and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until potatoes are just cooked through. Remove from heat. With a potato ricer or food mill, mash potato and cauliflower mixture until smooth. While still hot, mix in Parmesan cheese, Asiago cheese, and butter. Season to taste with black pepper.

Steps:

• Generously cover potatoes and 1 tablespoon salt with cold water in a medium pot, then simmer until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain potatoes and rinse with cold water. Cool to room temperature in refrigerator, about 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook garlic in oil at a bare simmer in a small heavy saucepan, stirring occasionally, until tender and golden, about 12 minutes.
• Drain garlic, reserving oil for another use, then mash to a paste.
• Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
• Mince basil, then stir together with garlic paste, cheese, mayonnaise, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Using a small melon-ball cutter or a teaspoon, scoop out a hole in each cooled potato, leaving a 1/4-inch shell.
• Stuff potatoes with cheese mixture and bake in a pan until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place potatoes, garlic, and salt into a large pot, fill with enough water to cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer the potatoes until tender but not mushy, 8 to 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer about half the potatoes to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Pour half of the cream over the potatoes, season with black pepper and nutmeg, and sprinkle half of the Gruyere cheese onto the mixture. Top with the remaining potatoes; sprinkle again with black pepper and nutmeg. Pour on the remaining cream, and sprinkle with remaining Gruyere cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese topping is crisp and brown on top, about 1 hour.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Place potatoes in a large saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 5 minutes or until potatoes are almost tender. Drain. Sprinkle potatoes evenly with 1/4 tsp. salt; set aside and keep warm.
• Heat a medium saucepan coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Add shallots; cook 2 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Sprinkle flour over shallots. Gradually add 1/2 cup milk, stirring with a whisk until well blended. Gradually add remaining 1 1/2 cups milk, stirring with a whisk. Cook over medium heat 9 minutes or until thick, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; stir in 3/4 tsp. salt, Asiago, chives, pepper, and bacon.
• Arrange half of potato slices in an 8-inch square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Pour half of cheese sauce over potato slices. Top with remaining potato slices and cheese sauce; sprinkle with parmesan. Bake 35 minutes until cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large, heavy saucepan, melt the butter; turn temperature to medium high and add the onions, sauté until golden, about 8 minutes.
• Add the garlic, bay leaves, nutmeg, 1 tablespoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, stir well and cook for 1 minute, then add the cream and milk and bring to a boil; remove saucepan from the heat, cover, and set stand for 5 minutes.
• In a medium-sized bowl, toss the grated cheese together with the dry bread crumbs, the olive oil, 1/2 tablespoon of the chopped sage, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper.
• Locate the bay leaves in the onion mixture and remove them, then add the remaining sage and stir.
• In a large bowl, gently toss together the sliced potatoes and onion mixture.
• Spread half of the potato mixture in the bottom of a pan-sprayed (I use an olive oil mister) 2-quart baking dish, then sprinkle 2/3 cup of the bread crumb mixture over the top; spread the remaining potato mixture over, pressing down firmly to pack them down, then cover with remaining bread crumbs.
• Bake at 400 degrees F for about 1 hour, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is a nice, golden brown (if the potatoes brown too quickly, loosely cover the baking dish with foil).
• These can be baked up to 5 hours ahead (let stand at room temperature, not in the refrigerator) of serving time then reheated in the oven (preferably, although doing it in the microwave would work in a pinch but the topping won't be crisp if you do so).
