Golden Au Gratin Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Place the oven rack in center of oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, whisk creme fraiche and whipping cream until combined.
• In a large baking dish, approximately 9 by 13-inches, arrange 1/3 of potato slices, overlapping slightly. Generously season with salt, pepper, and some fresh thyme leaves. Drop 1/3 of the cream mixture in dollops over potatoes, and spread evenly, (layer will be very thin). Repeat with another layer. Layer for a 3rd and last time, covering the top of the potatoes with the cream mixture, then mini cauliflower florets, and generously season with salt, pepper, and remaining thyme.
• Bake 30 minutes and reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Continue to bake until top is golden brown, about 20 minutes longer.
• Do your best to let gratin rest 15 to 20 minutes before serving. Garnish with thyme sprigs. Eat and enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch round or oval baking dish.
• Slice potatoes 1/8-inch thick and combine thoroughly in a mixing bowl with 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, the sour cream, olive oil, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper.
• Arrange potatoes in a neat overlapping pattern in the baking dish. Pour chicken broth over potatoes.
• Bake 35 minutes, until potatoes are nearly-tender and the cheese and potatoes are starting to brown. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake another 10-15 minutes.
• Garnish with thyme sprigs.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Seasoning each layer with salt and pepper as you go, layer the potatoes in a 10- or 12-inch ovenproof skillet.
• Dot the top with 2 tablespoons butter. Pour in half-and-half. (It should come about 3/4 of the way to the top.)
• Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to low and cook for 10 minutes, uncovered, until the half-and-half has reduced by about half.
• Transfer to the oven and bake until the top is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 300 degrees and cook until the potatoes are fork tender and the top is nicely browned, about 8 minutes more. Top with grated cheese and return to the oven until the cheese is melty and golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with a pinch of nutmeg, if using, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put the cream, half-and-half, horseradish, nutmeg, garlic and onion in a medium saucepan and slowly bring the mixture to a simmer. Be sure to stir on occasion to prevent scorching. Season with salt and pepper.
• In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, spoon a thin layer of the cream and onion mixture onto the bottom. Layer the potatoes, followed by a sprinkle of cheese. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Repeat this process until the dish is filled and the gratin is moist. Combine the breadcrumbs and thyme and sprinkle on top.
• Bake until the potatoes are tender and the gratin is caramelized on top and bubbly on the edges, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

• Meanwhile, heat butter in a medium skillet over medium until bubbling. Add onion, season generously with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking until deep golden brown, about 15 minutes. (If mixture is becoming too dark, add water, 1 teaspoon at a time, and scrape up any browned bits; you should have about 1/2 cup caramelized onion.)
• Preheat oven to 300°F. Brush a 2-quart baking dish with butter. Peel and thinly slice potatoes 1/8-inch thick. Shingle half of potatoes in bottom of dish. Top with caramelized onion and half of cheese. Shingle remaining potatoes over top. Pour cream mixture over potatoes, and top with remaining cheese.

• Pour mixture into prepared baking dish and level out surface. Bake for 1 hour, uncovered. Cover and bake until potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes more.
• Change oven temperature to broil. Sprinkle remaining cheese over potatoes. Broil 6 inches from the heating element until the cheese is golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing into 8 pieces.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F In 2-quart casserole, mix potatoes, sauce mix, boiling water, half-and-half and butter. Stir in remaining potato ingredients.Bake uncovered 35 minutes or until liquid is reduced.
• In the meantime, combine bread crumbs and butter in a small bowl; sprinkle mixture over potatoes. Bake 8 minutes longer or until topping is golden.

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Butter a 1 1/2 quart baking dish with about 1 tablespoon of the softened butter.
