Potato And Cheese Gratin Recipes

Steps:

• Place sliced potatoes in large pan.
• Pour over milk and stock.
• Bring to the boil, reduce heat, simmer 10 minutes.
• Do not allow to soften.
• Add butter, grated cheese, salt , pepper and cream.
• Spoon into 8 cup gratin dish.
• Sprinkle with parmesan.
• Bake 180 degrees C for 40 minutes or till potatoes are tender.

Steps:

• Parboil potatoes for 15 minutes until barely tender. Drain, peel them and cut into thick slices. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• With some of the melted butter, lightly grease bottom of shallow casserole. Arrange all of the potato slices overlapping in the bottom of a casserole and season well with salt and pepper; sprinkle with half of Parmesan.
• Arrange tomatoes over potatoes and season them with salt and pepper and half of parsley. Scatter mozzarella over tomatoes. Mix parsley with melted butter and season with salt and pepper and scatter over mozzarella. Top with remaining Parmesan and bake for 25 minutes or until all ingredients are hot and cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Use a Japanese mandolin or sharp knife to slice the parsnips and potatoes very thinly. Layer the parsnips and potatoes in a shallow gratin dish, sprinkling some cheese and onion and a little drizzle of the cream over each layer, seasoning with salt and pepper as you go. The top layer should be potatoes and parsnips with a final sprinkling of cheese and drizzling of cream.
• Cover with foil and bake in the oven for 2 hrs, alongside the pork. Remove the foil and continue to bake for 20 mins until golden. For a really golden brown top, finish under a hot grill if you like.

Steps:

• Set the slow cooker to the sauté function. Add the oil and, once hot, add the leek and cook for 1-2 minutes, then add the kale and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, or until the leek is soft. Gently scoop into a bowl. Line the slow cooker with a sheet of baking paper, working carefully as it will be hot.
• Add the cream, stock and cheeses to a bowl and use a fork to combine.
• Arrange one-third of the potato slices over the bottom of the lined bowl, overlapping them slightly. Pour in one-third of the cream mixture and sprinkle with one-third of the leek mixture. Season and repeat the process until all the ingredients have been used.
• You should get three decent layers of cheesy potato goodness. Close the lid and cook on high for 4 hours.
• Check the liquid at the 3-hour mark. If there is a lot of liquid remaining, leave the lid off for the last hour of cooking. If, at 4 hours, there is still too much liquid, remove the lid and, if your cooker has it, hit the reduce function, or simply the sauté function, and cook for 2-5 minutes. This will quickly get rid of any excess moisture.
• Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes in the slow cooker before gently removing. If you try to cut it when still hot, it tends to go everywhere. Alternatively, scoop the gratin straight from the bowl onto the plate. It might not look amazing, but it's the kind of dish that is here for a good time, not a long time.
• Season generously with salt and pepper and serve. Eat wearing stretchy pants; you are going to need them.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly oil 10-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Slightly overlap 1/3 of potato slices in bottom of dish. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon flour, 1 teaspoon minced chives and 1/3 of minced thyme over. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Dot with 1/3 of goat cheese. Repeat layering 2 more times. Pour low-fat milk over potatoes. Cover dish with aluminum foil and bake 1 hour. Remove foil; bake until potatoes are tender and top is golden, about 25 minutes longer. Let stand 15 minutes; serve.

Steps:

• In a heavy 5- to 6-quart kettle heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook onions with thyme and salt and pepper to taste, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 15 minutes.
• Reduce heat to moderately low and cook, stirring frequently to keep from scorching, until golden brown.
• Remove kettle from heat.
• While onions are cooking, bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil for potatoes.
• Peel potatoes and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
• Add potatoes to boiling water and cook 5 minutes from time water returns to a boil.
• Drain potatoes well in a colander.
• Preheat oven to 425°F and lightly oil a 2- to 2 1/2-quart gratin dish or other shallow baking dish.
• Arrange half of potatoes, overlapping slightly, in dish and season generously with salt and pepper.
• Cover potatoes with onions, spreading evenly, and top with goat cheese.
• Arrange remaining potatoes, overlapping slightly, over cheese and season generously with salt and pepper.
• Dot gratin with butter.
• Gratin may be prepared up to this point 2 hours ahead and kept at room temperature, covered.
• Pour milk evenly over potatoes and bake 35 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and top is golden.
• Gratin may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
• Reheat gratin before serving.
