Divine Scalloped Potatoes With Gruyere And Thyme Food

GRUYERE SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a 9x9 baking dish with butter.
• In a large stockpot or sautee pan, melt butter. Add onion and saute for 2-3 minutes, adding a pinch of salt to begin layering in the flavor. Add garlic and continue to saute for 1-2 minutes. Then stir in the flour and continue to stir for 1-2 minutes to ensure the flour does not burn.
• Whisk in the vegetable broth until combined, then whisk in milk. Add any remaining salt as needed, white pepper, and 1 1/2 teaspoons thyme. Bring cream sauce to a simmer and continue to lightly simmer for 4-5 minutes, being careful it doesn't boil. Remove from heat.
• Layer half of the potato slices at the bottom of the greased baking dish, then pour over half of the cream sauce on top. Sprinkle 3/4 cup of the shredded gruyere and 1/2 cup parmesan on top of the first layer of cream.
• Layer the rest of the potato slices in the pan and pour the remaining cream sauce on top. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of gruyere on top of the finished dish.
• Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking for 15-20 minutes, until cheese begins to turn golden brown and potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. The sauce should also be bubbly.
• Once cooked, garnish with the remaining thyme. Let cool slightly for 5-10 minutes, then serve and enjoy!

DIVINE SCALLOPED POTATOES WITH GRUYERE AND THYME

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Peel the potatoes and use a mandolin to slice into 1/8 inch thick rounds. You can also use a very sharp knife.
• In a large skillet with high walls or saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, 3-5 minutes.
• Add the sage leaves and cook until they've crisped, about 1-2 minutes.
• Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock and cook until thickened, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the milk, cream, salt, pepper, 1/2 of the thyme, and the rosemary.
• Grease a 10.5"x7.5" baking dish with butter. Layer half the potatoes in the baking dish. Pour half the cream mixture over the potatoes and top with half the shredded gruyere. Repeat with remaining potatoes, cream mixture, and cheese. Top with parmesan and remaining thyme.
• Cover with foil and bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Removed the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until potatoes are tender and the top is browned.
• Let cool for 10 minutes and serve.

GRUYERE SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F; butter a large casserole dish with 1 1/2 Tbsp of butter. If you use a casserole dish that is about 9x13, you'll have more surface area, more of the potatoes will brown, and the cooking time will be faster.
• Layer the bottom of the casserole dish with 1/3 of the potato slices.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Layer on 1/2 of the sliced onions and 1/2 cup of the Gruyere cheese.
• Layer on 1/2 of the bacon, 1/2 of the parsley and chives.
• Sprinkle with a little Parmesan.
• Repeat by layering on 1/3 of the potato slices, sprinkle again with salt and pepper.
• Layer on the remaining sliced onions, 1/2 cup of the Gruyere cheese, the remaining bacon, parsley and chives.
• Sprinkle with a little Parmesan.
• Top the casserole with the remaining potato slices. Add the half and half. Dot the potatoes with the remaining 1 1/2 Tbsp of butter.
• Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for one hour. After an hour, remove from the oven, remove the foil, sprinkle on the remaining cheese.
• Return to the oven for an additional 30-40 minutes.
• When done, the potatoes should be tender, but not mushy, and the liquid should be mostly absorbed.
• Note: For a faster cooking time, you can parboil the sliced potatoes for 8 minutes first, patting them dry, before layering them in the casserole pan. In this case the total oven cooking time is about 35-45 minutes.
