Sweet Potato Gratin Includes Canadian Bacononions Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with the butter.
• Oil the sliced sweet potatoes and onions with the canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the sweet potatoes and onions until slightly charred on each side and just halfway cooked. Set aside.
• Combine the half-and-half, horseradish, thyme, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Sprinkle one-third of the Gruyere in an even layer over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer one-third of the grilled sweet potatoes and onions on top of the Gruyere. Repeat twice¿one-third of the cheese, one-third of the vegetables¿to create three even cheese-vegetable layers. Pour the half-and-half mixture over the top, cover with foil and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until the sweet potatoes are tender and the gratin is golden brown, another 15 to 20 minutes. Let rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• If you have a gas burner, roast the poblano peppers over the open flame, turning occasionally with tongs, until the peppers are well charred all over, about 4 minutes. If you do not have a gas burner, halve the peppers lengthwise, place them in a baking pan and broil them in a preheated broiler, skin-side up, until well charred. Place the charred peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for 10 minutes. Peel, stem and deseed the peppers, then cut into strips.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• Stir together the cream, salt, lime zest, cumin and garlic in a bowl.
• Peel the sweet potatoes and russet potatoes and thinly slice them with a mandoline (about 1/4-inch thick).
• Arrange half of the russet potatoes in the buttered baking dish. Top with half of the sliced poblanos, then half of the sweet potatoes. Top with half of the cream mixture and 1/3 cup Cotija. Repeat with the remaining ingredients (potatoes, poblanos, sweet potatoes, cream and the remaining 2/3 cups Cotija) and press down firmly to submerge the potatoes as much as possible.
• Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until the potatoes are tender, the liquid has absorbed, and the top is browned in spots, 25 to 30 minutes more.
• Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees and generously butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan or shallow gratin dish. Butter a piece of foil large enough to cover top of pan. Sprinkle Parmesan all over bottom of pan.
• In a medium pot, bring cream, sage, rosemary, garlic, nutmeg and a pinch of salt to a simmer. Simmer until reduced by 1/4, about 10 minutes.
• In a large, heatproof bowl, whisk eggs just enough to break them up. Slowly pour hot cream into eggs to combine, whisking while pouring, and reserve the mixture.
• Meanwhile, using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch-thick rounds.
• Place 1 layer of potatoes in the pan, slightly overlapping as you go, using about a third of the slices. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste, then pour 1/3 of the egg mixture over potatoes. Top with 1/2 cup Gruyère. Repeat with another layer of potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, pepper and 1/3 egg mixture. Top with 1/2 cup Gruyère. Top with remaining potatoes, 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper to taste, and remaining egg mixture (but not the remaining cheese). Press down to compact the potatoes. Cover with foil and bake until potatoes are tender, about 40 minutes, then remove foil, sprinkle top with remaining 2/3 cup Gruyère and bake until browned and bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly, then serve.

Steps:

• Peel sweet potatoes and slice into rounds 1/4-inch thick. In a saucepan simmer milk, cream and garlic about 10 minutes, until the potatoes are barely tender. Remove from heat.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Rub a baking dish with one tablespoon of butter, and dust with three tablespoons of bread crumbs.
• Season potatoes and cream with salt and Cayenne pepper. Spread mixture in baking dish, sprinkle with cheese and remaining bread crumbs, and dot with rest of butter. Bake 30 minutes, until lightly browned.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Peel the sweet potatoes, and then slice them into even rounds (1/8-to-1/4-inch thick). A mandoline or the slicing attachment on a food processor is the best way to do this.
• Place the sliced sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add the garlic, salt and pepper. Toss well to coat.
• Coat the inside of a 3-quart baking dish with the butter. Arrange an overlapping layer of sweet potatoes on the bottom of the dish in a clockwise pattern. Sprinkle around some of the Parmesan and Gruyere cheeses. Continue layering the gratin, going in a counter-clockwise direction (this will keep the gratin from falling over on your plate after it is cut). Again, add some of the cheese before adding the next layer. Continue alternating layers until the gratin is full.
• Bring the half-and-half to a simmer on the stovetop and pour it over the potatoes. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place a heatproof dish on top of the foil. Place in the oven to bake for 20 minutes.
• Remove the foil from the baking dish and cover the top of the gratin with some extra grated cheese. Continue baking until the top is golden brown and bubbling, 20 to 30 minutes more. Remove from the oven and cool 20 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking dish with cooking spray.
• Combine cream, butter, and garlic in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer; remove from heat and mix in parsley, thyme, sage, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
• Arrange 1/2 of the sweet potato slices in the prepared baking dish; cover with 1/2 of the Gruyere cheese. Pour cream mixture on top. Arrange remaining sweet potato slices over the cream. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
