Golden Potato And Onion Gratin Recipes

POTATO AND ONION BAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F /180°C. (see note 5)
• Use some of the butter (about 1 tbsp) to grease the bottom and sides of a 8 cup/2litre baking dish. Place this on a baking tray for easy.
• Peel and finely slice the onions.
• Use a mandolin, food processor or sharp knife to cut the potatoes into 1/8 inch (3-4mm) thick disks.
• Arrange a layer of potatoes in your prepared baking dish, then top with onions, some of the chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. Repeat the layers finishing with a top layer of potatoes and rosemary.
• Add any remaining herbs and seasonings to your broth and then pour it carefully over the potatoes, ensuring that it just covers the top layer.
• Dot the remaining 2 tbsp of butter over the top of the dish, cover the dish with foil and then transfer the baking dish and tray to the oven.
• Cook for 60 minutes then remove the foil and cook for a further 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and crisp. (see note 5&6)

GOLDEN POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• In a saucepan, heat cream, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, saffron, and nutmeg over medium until bubbling around edges. Remove from heat; let stand 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat butter in a medium skillet over medium until bubbling. Add onion, season generously with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking until deep golden brown, about 15 minutes. (If mixture is becoming too dark, add water, 1 teaspoon at a time, and scrape up any browned bits; you should have about 1/2 cup caramelized onion.)
• Preheat oven to 300°F. Brush a 2-quart baking dish with butter. Peel and thinly slice potatoes 1/8-inch thick. Shingle half of potatoes in bottom of dish. Top with caramelized onion and half of cheese. Shingle remaining potatoes over top. Pour cream mixture over potatoes, and top with remaining cheese. Bake until potatoes are fork-tender and top is bubbling and golden, about 1 hour and 25 minutes. Let stand at least 15 minutes before serving.

ONION POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F
• Boil the potatoes: Boil the potatoes for 4 minutes in salted water (1 tablespoon of salt for 2 quarts of water). Drain and set aside.
• Sauté the onions, sprinkle with salt and herbs: Heat the butter over medium-high heat in a large sauté pan and cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they are softened, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle them with salt and the Herbes de Provence. Turn off the heat and set aside.
• Layer potatoes, cheeses, onions, nutmeg in baking dish, pour over with half and half: Spread half of the sliced potatoes over the bottom of an 11x7-inch baking dish (Pyrex works well). Sprinkle well with salt and white pepper. Sprinkle with about a third of the Gruyere and Parmesan cheeses. Top with the onions, the nutmeg and another 1/3 of the cheeses. Layer the remaining sliced potatoes on top of the cheeses. Pour the half and half over everything. Sprinkle again with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the remaining one-third of the cheeses over everything. (At this point you can make a day ahead, just cover and refrigerate until time to cook.)

WARM ONION-POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Combine Yukon Gold potatoes and sliced onions in heavy large saucepan. Add enough water to cover. Bring water to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are almost tender, about 3 minutes. Drain potato-onion mixture well.
• Arrange half of potato-onion mixture in 11x7-inch glass baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sprinkle mixture with 1/3 cup Gruy&ère cheese, then 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese. Arrange remaining potato-onion mixture atop cheeses. Pour cream over. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then remaining 2/3 cup Gruy&ère cheese and 6 tablespoons Parmesan cheese. (Can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.) Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake gratin uncovered until cream thickens, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven. Preheat broiler. Broil gratin until top is golden, about 2 minutes.

YUKON GOLD POTATO GRATIN WITH HORSERADISH, GRUYERE AND SWEET ONION

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put the cream, half-and-half, horseradish, nutmeg, garlic and onion in a medium saucepan and slowly bring the mixture to a simmer. Be sure to stir on occasion to prevent scorching. Season with salt and pepper.
• In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, spoon a thin layer of the cream and onion mixture onto the bottom. Layer the potatoes, followed by a sprinkle of cheese. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Repeat this process until the dish is filled and the gratin is moist. Combine the breadcrumbs and thyme and sprinkle on top.
• Bake until the potatoes are tender and the gratin is caramelized on top and bubbly on the edges, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

FRENCH ONION SOUP POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• For the caramelized onions: In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Once melted and bubbling, add a large handful of the onions and cook until translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat until all the onions have been added. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions turn medium brown, about 30 minutes. If the onions start to get too dark, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of beef stock as necessary. Add the sherry to deglaze the pan. Add the mustard and stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• For the potato gratin: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, cut the potatoes into thin slices. Do your best to keep the potatoes in a stack--this will make it easier to layer them in the pan. Set the potatoes aside.
• Use the reserved butter wrapper to lightly grease the bottom and sides of a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet. Discard the wrapper.
• Arrange a thin shingled layer of potatoes in concentric circles around the skillet. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper, then arrange an even layer of caramelized onions on top of the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
• In a medium bowl, combine the Gruyere and mozzarella and reserve half for later use. Sprinkle on a layer of the remaining cheese mixture over the onions. Repeat the layers until all the ingredients (not including the reserved cheese) have been used. Press down firmly on the layers to flatten.
• In a large bowl or measuring cup, combine the heavy cream and beef stock and pour over the gratin. Cover the skillet with foil and place on a sheet pan. Bake the potatoes, covered, until the top and edges have begun to brown and the potatoes are tender, 1 hour 15 to 1 hour 30 minutes. You can test by inserting a knife into the potatoes; if it goes in and comes out without resistance, then the potatoes are done.
• Remove the skillet from the oven, remove the foil and turn the broiler on high. Combine the croutons and French fried onions. Cover the gratin with a layer of the crouton mixture followed by the remaining cheese. Broil until golden brown and bubbly, 5 to 8 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
