Blue Bayou Potatoes Au Gratin Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F Saute onions with butter until caramelized. Mix sliced potatoes, and caramelized onions and put in a buttered baking dish. Mix cream, garlic, salt, white pepper, jalapenos, chicken base and thyme leaves and blend until smooth. Pour blended mixture over potatoes and onions, mix and cover. Bake for 2 hours or until potatoes are tender. Remove potatoes from oven and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter a medium casserole dish.
• Layer 1/2 of the potatoes into bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Top with the onion slices, and add the remaining potatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• In a medium-size saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Mix in the flour and salt, and stir constantly with a whisk for one minute. Stir in milk. Cook until mixture has thickened. Stir in cheese all at once, and continue stirring until melted, about 30 to 60 seconds. Pour cheese over the potatoes, and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake 1 1/2 hours in the preheated oven.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté onions, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat to moderate and cook onions, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 12 minutes.
• Peel potatoes and slice paper-thin crosswise (slightly less than 1/16 inch thick) with slicer. Combine potatoes and cream in a 2-quart heavy saucepan (potatoes on top may not be completely immersed) and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and cool to warm, about 30 minutes.
• Transfer one third of potatoes with a slotted spoon to a lightly oiled 3-quart shallow baking dish (reserve any cream in pan), spreading them in an even layer, then sprinkle evenly with half of onions and one third of each cheese and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Make 1 more layer each of potatoes, onions, cheeses, and seasoning in same manner, then top with remaining potatoes and remaining cheeses. (Do not season top layer.) Pour reserved cream evenly over top and cover tightly with foil.
• Bake in middle of oven 45 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 400°F, then remove foil and bake until top is golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes more. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F.
• You need a 7x11 baking pan plus a larger one with 2 sides for the water bath.
• Put some water on to boil -- the amount depends on your pans. You'll need enough to fill the larger baking pan with about an inch of water when the smaller pan is in place.
• Butter the smaller baking pan.
• In a large bowl, mix the eggs, cream and cheeses until well blended.
• Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary. Both cheeses are usually quite salty so watch the amount of salt you use.
• Fold the sliced potatoes into the cheese mixture.
• Spread the mixture into the buttered pan and cover with aluminum foil.
• Place the pan with the potatoes in the larger pan and set it on the oven shelf.
• Carefully pour hot water into the outer pan so that the water is about an inch deep.
• Bake one hour.
• Remove the cover and bake until the top is golden brown, about 15 minutes.
