Creamy Potato Parsnip Gratin Recipes

CREAMY PARSNIP POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Grease a 9x13 glass casserole dish using the avocado oil. Make sure the dish is completely coated in the oil.
• Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until small bubbles begin to form on the sides of the pan. Remove from the heat and add the garlic, salt, and white pepper. Set aside (off the heat) for the garlic to steep in the cream.
• Peel and slice the parsnips and potatoes in ⅛ inch thick rounds. Use a mandolin slicer to ensure even slices.
• Divide the potatoes and parsnips into three even piles. Layer the first third of the potato and parsnip rounds into the bottom of the 9x13 dish. Add ½ cup of the grated gruyere cheese in an even layer on top of the parsnip and potato rounds.
• Add the next third of the parsnip and potato rounds to the dish. Add the rest of the gruyere cheese in an even layer on top of the parsnips and potatoes.
• Add the last third of the parsnip and potato rounds to the dish. This layer will be visible.
• Pour the heavy cream mixture over the parsnips and potatoes. The amount of cream should come up to just under the last layer of parsnips and potatoes.
• Top with the parmesan cheese.
• Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
• Remove the aluminum foil and continue baking for another 20-30 minutes, or until the parsnips and potatoes are soft and the parmesan cheese on top becomes golden brown.
