Potatoes Savoyard Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 425ºF.
• 2. Crush garlic with the back of a spoon and rub it all over the inside of an oven-proof dish or casserole. Then grease generously with some of the butter. Place half of the potato slices in a layer on the bottom.
• 3. In a bowl, mix the cheese, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Sprinkle half of cheese mixture over potatoes. Dot 1/2 of the remaining butter on top of cheese.
• 4. Then add the rest of the potatoes, the rest of the cheese mix and the last of the butter. Pour the stock over all.
• 5. Slice the remaining garlic and sprinkle over the top. Bake for 30-40 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Serve.

Steps:

• Heat a Dutch oven or other large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high. Swirl in oil. Add onion, cut-sides down, and sausages; cook, turning sausages a few times, until browned in places, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer sausages (but not onion) to a plate.
• Season pork shoulder generously with salt and pepper; add to pot with ham hock and 3 quarts water. Bundle parsley, thyme, and bay leaf with twine and add to pot. Bring to a boil, skimming impurities from surface. Reduce heat to low; simmer, covered, until pork is tender, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Transfer pork and ham to plate with sausages; discard herb bundle and onion. Skim impurities and excess fat from surface of broth.
• Add potatoes, carrots, celery, pumpkin, cabbage, leeks, and browned sausages to pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until vegetables are just tender, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Meanwhile, shred pork and any meat on hock into bite-size pieces, discarding skin, bones, and excess fat. Return meat and any accumulated juices to pot; season to taste. Serve stew with parsley leaves and cheese toasts on the side.

Steps:

• Peel and slice potatoes, and cover with cold water until ready to use.
• In a lightly greased 6 to 8 cup baking dish, place two cups of potatoes on bottom, overlapping layers.
• Dot with half the butter; sprinkle with half the parsley, salt, Greek seasoning, pepper, and cheese.
• Place second layer of potatoes on top of first and repeat layer of butter, seasonings, and cheese.
• Pour boiling beef broth over the casserole.
• Bake uncovered in a preheated 400 degree Fahrenheit oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until potatoes are fork tender, potato tops are browned, and broth is absorbed.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees and place a rack at the middle level. In a large saucepan, combine onions and 2 tablespoons olive oil and stir to coat over low heat. Sprinkle lightly with salt. At a gentle simmer, cook uncovered until onions are softened and lightly golden, 10 to 15 minutes, stirring often. Do not brown; lower the heat if necessary. When done, fold in tomatoes just until heated through. Set aside.
• In a small food processor or a mortar, add the anchovies - anywhere from 6 to 12 fillets, depending on their size and your taste. Add garlic, herbs and a dozen grinds of pepper. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil (or use the oil from the anchovy can, if you like). Crush or pulse together into a chunky paste, thinning with oil as needed to make a loose, fluid mixture.
• In a medium-size baking dish, spread a quarter of the onion-tomato mixture. On top, arrange half the potato slices, then half the anchovy mixture. Add half the remaining onion-tomato mixture. Build one more layer with remaining potato slices, anchovy mixture and onion-tomato mixture. Sprinkle cheese on top and drizzle with olive oil.
• If the dish is very full, place on a baking sheet. Transfer to oven and bake, uncovered, until potatoes are tender and have absorbed all of the juices in the bottom of the dish, 40 to 50 minutes. Test by tasting a bit of potato; it should be soft all the way through, with no raw taste. If the top is browning too fast, cover very loosely with a sheet of foil. If the top is not brown enough when the potatoes are cooked, broil briefly until deliciously glazed.
• Serve gratin hot or warm. Can be cooled and reheated later the same day, but do not refrigerate.

Steps:

• Thinly slice the onions and garlic.
• Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic and saute until tender and just starting to brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Slice the potatoes very thinly or use a mandolin.
• In a glass baking dish just large enough to hold ingredients (I use an 8" X 11" (20 X 27.5cm) oval baking dish) lay 1/3rd of the potatoes, spread half of the sauteed onions over the potatoes and lay half of the cheese on the onions. Repeat once. Top with remaining 1/3 of the potatoes. Sprinkle the nutmeg over the top. Pour the stock over all, sprinkle with Parmesan. cover with foil and bake at 425F (215C) for 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 400F (200C) and continue baking another 30 minutes. Remove foil for last 15 minutes of baking. Remove from oven, let rest 5 minutes, then serve.
• Cover with foil and bake at 425F (215C) for 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 400F (200C) and continue baking another 30 minutes. Remove foil for last 15 minutes of baking. Remove from oven, let rest 5 minutes, then serve.
