Scalloped Potatoes With Leeks And Manchego Cheese Recipe 465

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 12-cup baking dish. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add leeks, and cook until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Arrange 1/3 of the potatoes in dish, slightly overlapping slices. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the salt, 1/2 of the nutmeg, and pepper, followed by 1/2 of the leeks and 1/3 of the cheese. Repeat. Top with remaining potatoes in a spiral. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Combine cream and stock. Pour over cheese and potatoes. Cover with parchment and foil. (Mixture can be refrigerated overnight.)
• Bake for 30 minutes. Increase temperature to 425 degrees, uncover, and cook until top is golden brown and potatoes are tender, about 45 minutes. Let rest for 15 to 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Halve large potatoes, small ones can be left whole. Place potatoes in a deep pot, cover with water. Place a lid on potatoes and bring them up to a boil. Uncover, salt the water and cook until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain potatoes and add back to the hot pot. Add butter, milk or cream and cheese and smash the potatoes to desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Rub the garlic around the inside of an 8 by 8 by 2-inch casserole dish and let it dry. Reserve the remaining garlic. Rub the butter around the inside of the dish. Reserve the remaining butter.
• Peel and thinly slice the potatoes on a mandoline or vegetable slicer (about 1/8-inch-thick slices).
• In a medium saucepan, combine the garlic, butter, potatoes, half-and-half, salt, pepper to taste, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, lower the heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring, until the mixture has thickened, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish. Shake the pan so the potatoes are distributed evenly.
• Bake the potatoes, basting occasionally, until lightly browned and bubbly, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a casserole dish.
• Layer the bottom the casserole dish with potatoes. Cover the potatoes with a layer of cheese, followed by a light dusting of flour, salt and pepper. Repeat the layering process until all of the ingredients are used up. Pour milk over the entire casserole. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the potatoes are tender, about 45 minutes. Remove foil and return to oven; bake until cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown.

Steps:

• 1. Heat oven to 375 degrees . Lightly coat a 3-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. 2. Combine half-and-half, nutmeg and cayenne in a large pot; add potatoes and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain potatoes over a large bowl, reserving half-and-half. 3. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add leeks and scallions. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. 4. Layer one-third of the potatoes in prepared baking dish, overlapping as necessary. Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp of the salt, 1 tbsp of the flour, half the leek mixture and 1 cup of the cheese. Repeat layering. Top with remaining third of the potatoes and 1 cup cheese. 5. Pour half-and-half over potatoes; tilt dish from side to side to evenly distribute. Cover and bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes; uncover and bake for an additional 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender and top of casserole is lightly browned. 6. Cool slightly before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F; grease well a 2-1/2 quart casserole or baking dish (I use cooking spray).
• Set aside 1/2 cup of the fontina and 1/2 tablespoon each of the parsley and chives.
• In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter. Add leeks, salt and pepper. Saute until soft, about 4-5 minutes.
• Sprinkle in flour and cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds.
• Whisk in half-and-half and bring to a boil. Cook for a minute or two until mixture thickens. Remove form heat and stir in the remaining parsley, chives, and cheese until the cheese is melted.
• Add potatoes to the sauce and stir until well coated. Transfer to casserole dish and cover with foil. Bake for 1 hour. Remove foil and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake uncovered until cheese is browned and melted and potatoes test for doneness, about 10 minutes. If the potatoes are not tender enough but the cheese is melted, cover with foil again and bake until potatoes are done.
• Sprinkle with reserved parsley and chives.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a large casserole dish.

• Slice the potato into 1/4 inch slices. Arrange one layer of sliced potatoes in the bottom of the casserole dish. Spoon one layer of soup over the potatoes. Arrange another layer of potatoes and then more soup. Continue layering until all of the ingredients have been used. Sprinkle the Cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
