BACON-GRUYERE SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat 1/4 cup butter over medium-high heat. Add onions, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; cook and stir 8-10 minutes or until softened. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook 40-50 minutes or until deep golden brown, stirring occasionally and stirring in thyme during last 5 minutes., Place potatoes in a 6-qt stockpot; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook, uncovered, 20-25 minutes or until tender. Drain; return to pan. Add milk and remaining butter, salt and pepper. Coarsely mash potatoes with a masher, leaving small chunks. Stir in bacon and onions; sprinkle with cheese. Let stand, covered, until cheese melts. If desired, sprinkle with parsley.

GRUYERE MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Wash the potatoes and cut into 1" cubes. (You can leave the peel on if desired or peel half of the potatoes. The potato peel gives it a rustic texture, so yummy)
• Place the potatoes in a pot and cover with hot water, add 2 teaspoons of salt, and bring to a boil.
• Cooking on medium heat, boil potatoes for 20-30 minutes or until the potato is soft but not mushy. You'll know it has cooked long enough when you stick a fork in the potato and the potato doesn't stay on the fork when you lift it.
• Drain the water off the potatoes. Add the potatoes to the pot again and add the remaining ingredients.
• Mash potatoes with a hand masher or an electric mixer ( if you plan to use an electric mixer, don't overmix the potatoes or they will have a gluey texture-use a low speed and only until the potatoes are mashed enough) You can add a pat of butter and chopped parsley for garnish. Enjoy!

• Meanwhile, cook potatoes and garlic in large saucepan of boiling salted water until potatoes are very tender, about 20 minutes. Drain. Return potato mixture to saucepan and mash until almost smooth. Add squash and mash to blend well. Stir in 3 tablespoons cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer mashed vegetable mixture to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon cheese. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

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.

CREAMY GRUYERE POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Arrange half of the potato slices in slightly overlapping layers in a deep-dish pie plate or small shallow casserole dish. Sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon of the salt and pepper to taste. Dot with half of the butter pieces.
• Repeat the layers. Pour the half-and-half over the potatoes. Bake until the potatoes are tender, about 45 minutes.
• Remove the dish from the oven and preheat the broiler. Sprinkle the cheese over the potatoes and broil until melted and lightly browned. Divide among 4 plates and serve.
