Potato Gratin With Truffle Oil Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch x 13-inch baking dish. Remove rind and shred Fontina cheese using a hand grater.
• Place 1/2 the potatoes, overlapping slightly, in prepared baking dish. Salt and pepper slices generously. With a rubber spatula, spread half the crème fraiche over the potatoes. Then sprinkle 1/2 the cheese over the crème fraiche. Make a second layer in the same way using the remaining ingredients.
• Bake potato gratin on center rack of your oven, uncovered, for approximately 30 minutes. Then lower heat to 350 degrees F. and bake approximately 30 more minutes or until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife. Potatoes will have a golden brown crust on top.
• NOTE: If you can't find crème fraiche, make your own by whisking together 1 1/4 cups whipping cream and 1/2 cup sour cream Let stand at room temperature until thickened, approximately 6 hours or overnight. Cover and refrigerate. Can be stored up to 1 week in the refrigerator. Makes about 1 3/4 cups.
• NOTE: Cover with aluminum foil if potatoes become too brown. Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes.
• NOTE: Gratin can be prepared up to 4 hours ahead. Cool, cover loosely with aluminum foil and refrigerate. Reheat, covered with aluminum foil, in a preheated 350 degree F. oven until hot, approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Drizzle truffle oil over the top and sprinkle with herb just before serving.

Steps:

• Carefully pull the skin on the chicken legs away from the flesh, trying not to break the skin, then rub ¼ tbsp butter between the skin and flesh on each leg. Carefully put half of the truffle discs on top of the butter, or smear on some truffle paste and smooth back the skin. Season the skin, then set aside in the fridge.
• Heat the double cream and stock together with the garlic cloves, remaining truffle, bay and sage then, once simmering, set aside to infuse for 30 mins.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and butter the inside of a shallow baking dish that will fit both chicken legs. Layer the potatoes, adding the truffle slices from the cream between the layers along with some seasoning, then strain over the infused cream and stock mixture. Sprinkle over the parseman and scatter over the remaining sage leaves. Place the chicken legs on top, brush with melted butter, then roast for 1 hr or until the potatoes are cooked and the chicken golden and cooked through. Allow to rest for 10 mins, letting the chicken juices drip into the potatoes, then serve with a watercress salad.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a glass baking dish with cooking spray.
• Combine potatoes, onion, truffle oil, and parsley in the prepared baking dish; stir to coat potatoes with oil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Stir, and continue to bake, stirring every 10 minutes, until crispy, 20 to 30 minutes longer.
• Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and bake until melted, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Put the potatoes and milk into a medium pan, add water to just cover, season, then bring to the boil. Simmer for 15 mins or until tender. Add the rosemary a few mins before the end of cooking to infuse. Drain off all but a few tbsp of the cooking liquid.
• Roughly crush the spuds, fold in the truffle oil and cream, then tip into a small baking dish, adding a few rosemary leaves to decorate. Flash under the grill for a few mins to colour the top. If making ahead, reheat in the oven at 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 for 15 mins until just bubbling and starting to turn golden.
