Blue Cheese Sweet Potato Gratin Recipes

SWEET POTATO AND GRUYèRE GRATIN

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.

• 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.

SWEET POTATO AND BLUE CHEESE GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Peel and thinly slice sweet potatoes on a mandoline; set aside. Heat heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat, and add the cheese so it slowly melts into the cream. Mix in brown sugar, salt, and red pepper flakes; bring to a low simmer to incorporate all of the ingredients, 5-10 minutes. Butter the baking dish and evenly layer a quarter of the sweet potatoes along the bottom, then lightly sprinkle with salt.
• When the sauce is ready, pour a quarter of it over the sweet potatoes. Repeat the potato/sauce layering three more times until all of the ingredients are in the baking dish. Cover with foil and cook for 40 minutes. Remove foil and broil to brown the top, 5 minutes. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

BLUE CHEESE POTATOES AU GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F.
• You need a 7x11 baking pan plus a larger one with 2 sides for the water bath.
• Put some water on to boil -- the amount depends on your pans. You'll need enough to fill the larger baking pan with about an inch of water when the smaller pan is in place.
• Butter the smaller baking pan.
• In a large bowl, mix the eggs, cream and cheeses until well blended.
• Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary. Both cheeses are usually quite salty so watch the amount of salt you use.
• Fold the sliced potatoes into the cheese mixture.
• Spread the mixture into the buttered pan and cover with aluminum foil.
• Place the pan with the potatoes in the larger pan and set it on the oven shelf.
• Carefully pour hot water into the outer pan so that the water is about an inch deep.
• Bake one hour.
• Remove the cover and bake until the top is golden brown, about 15 minutes.

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F; lightly butter or oil a 9"x13" baking pan.
• Rinse the potato slices in cold water then pat dry.
• You're going to make three layers of potato slices, cheese/cream, salt/pepper: layer 1/3 of the slices in the bottom of the prepared pan, then top with 1/3 of the cheese, cream, salt, and pepper.
• Repeat twice with remaining ingredients (except garnish).
• Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F for 50 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the top is browned and bubbling.
• Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan, and serve hot.

BLUE CHEESE POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté onions, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat to moderate and cook onions, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 12 minutes.
• Peel potatoes and slice paper-thin crosswise (slightly less than 1/16 inch thick) with slicer. Combine potatoes and cream in a 2-quart heavy saucepan (potatoes on top may not be completely immersed) and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and cool to warm, about 30 minutes.
• Transfer one third of potatoes with a slotted spoon to a lightly oiled 3-quart shallow baking dish (reserve any cream in pan), spreading them in an even layer, then sprinkle evenly with half of onions and one third of each cheese and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Make 1 more layer each of potatoes, onions, cheeses, and seasoning in same manner, then top with remaining potatoes and remaining cheeses. (Do not season top layer.) Pour reserved cream evenly over top and cover tightly with foil.
• Bake in middle of oven 45 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 400°F, then remove foil and bake until top is golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes more. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.
