Potato Dauphinois Scalloped Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F with a rack in upper third of oven.
• Peel potatoes and thinly cut into 1/8 inch thick slices, using slicer if desired.
• Discard dark green part of leek and halve white and light green part lengthwise. Rinse layers under running water to remove any dirt and grit and pat dry. Thinly slice crosswise.
• Stir together white pepper and nutmeg with 1 3/4 teaspoons salt in a small bowl. Melt butter in a small heavy saucepan over medium-low heat and cook leek and garlic, stirring frequently, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Spread leek and butter mixture evenly in bottom of baking dish. Arrange one quarter of potatoes in a slightly overlapping layer over leeks, then pour 1/2 cup milk over potatoes, and sprinkle lightly with 1/2 teaspoon salt mixture. Layer potatoes with milk and salt mixture three more times in same manner.
• Place dish on a shallow baking pan and cover with foil. Bake until potatoes are almost tender, about 1 hour.
• Remove foil and pour cream over potatoes. Continue to bake, uncovered, until cream has been absorbed by potatoes and top is golden in spots, 30 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• In an oven-proof casserole dish approximately 12" x 8," cut the clove of garlic and rub the dish thoroughly with the clove of garlic and lightly butter. Take the leeks that has been washed, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces. Gently soften the leeks in a non-stick frying pan with half a teaspoon of butter until soft and tender. Remove from pan and place in bottom of casserole dish. Take the potatoes and slice them approximately 2/8-inch thick and do the same with the parsnip. Start to place the potatoes in the casserole dish on top of the leeks, adding a piece of parsnip at regular intervals. When the dish is packed full of potatoes and parsnips, season it well with salt and pepper. Add the cream, goat cheese and grated parmesan cheese and bake in a preheated oven at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender and have turned a light golden brown. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.
• Makes 8 to 10 servings.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5.
• Tip 500ml double cream, 500ml milk and 3 garlic cloves into a large saucepan and bring to a simmer.
• Slice 8 large potatoes very finely, about 3-4mm, add them to the cream and simmer for 3 mins until just cooked.
• Gently stir to separate the potato and stop it sinking and catching on the bottom of the pan.
• Remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon and place in a wide shallow ovenproof dish so that they are about 5cm in depth.
• Pour over the garlic infused cream (discarding the garlic) - just enough to seep through the layers and leave a little moisture on the surface.
• Scatter over 100g grated gruyère cheese, if using, then bake for 30 mins until the potatoes are soft and browned - increase the heat for 5 mins if not brown enough.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees with rack in middle position. Spread butter across bottom and sides of a 2-quart baking dish.
• Peel potatoes and slice 1/8 inch thick. Place slices in a large bowl of cold water and drain thoroughly.
• Bring heavy cream, milk, and garlic to a simmer in a large, wide saucepan. Add potatoes, salt, and pepper and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender, 20 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer half the potatoes to prepared baking dish and sprinkle with half of the cheese. Add remaining potatoes to baking dish and pour enough cream mixture over potatoes to just cover. Sprinkle with remaining cheese, place on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until bubbly and golden brown on top, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Remove from oven and grate nutmeg over top just before serving.
