Lemon And Thyme Potato Gratin Food

LEMON-AND-THYME POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees with rack in center. Place a baking sheet on rack below to catch any drips from gratin. Brush a 10-by-5 1/2-inch gratin dish with melted butter.
• Cover bottom of gratin dish with one-third of potato slices in an even layer. Sprinkle potatoes with one-third each of thyme, nutmeg, and lemon zest; season with salt and pepper. Dot with butter. Add a second layer, and season. Top with a third layer of neatly arranged potato slices. Pour milk over potatoes. Sprinkle with remaining third thyme, nutmeg, and lemon zest, and dot with butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover with foil.
• Bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil, and continue to bake 10 to 20 minutes, until top is golden brown and potatoes are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife. Serve gratin hot, spooned out into individual servings.

POTATO GRATIN WITH THYME

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a 1 1/2-quart shallow baking dish.
• Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Peel potatoes and cut into 1/8-inch slices - a food processor is good for this. Add potatoes to boiling water and cook 4 minutes. Drain potatoes thoroughly in a colander.
• Arrange 1/3 of the potatoes in baking dish, top with 1/3 of the cheese, 1/3 of the thyme leaves, and sprinkle with salt and freshly ground pepper. Repeat twice more, ending with a layer of cheese and thyme.
• Heat milk just to boiling. In a small bowl whisk egg and add hot milk, stirring. Pour evenly over potatoes. Bake 30 minutes, or until top is golden and potatoes are tender.

LEMONY POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put the lemon zest, thyme, nutmeg, cream, stock and plenty of seasoning into a large saucepan and bring to a simmer. Add the potatoes, stir well, and cook gently for 8 mins until beginning to soften, stirring every so often so they don't stick.
• Grease a medium casserole dish using a little of the butter. Spoon the potatoes and creamy liquid into the dish and dot the remaining butter over the surface. Cover with foil and bake for 30 mins. Remove the foil and return to the oven for a further 30-40 mins until the potatoes are soft and the surface is golden. Leave to rest and cool for 15 mins before serving.
