INSTANT POT POTATOES AU GRATIN

Steps:

• In a large measuring cup, stir together the chicken broth, evaporated milk, heavy cream, garlic and onion until well combined.
• Set a wire trivet in a 6-quart or larger Instant Pot and pour in the water.
• Grease a 7-inch round casserole dish with cooking spray or butter. Layer the potatoes, both cheeses, and the milk mixture into the prepared baking dish, until all are used up. Cover loosely with foil and place in the Instant Pot. Lock the lid in place, making sure the valve is set to seal. Pressure cook on high for 10 minutes and then do a quick release.
• Carefully open the lid and remove the dish from the Instant Pot. Uncover and place under the broiler until the top is golden brown. This step is optional. Garnish with chives before serving.

CHEESY CROCK POT AU GRATIN POTATOES

Steps:

• Spray the bottom of crock pot with non-stick spray. I use Pam when I have it on hand or I use one of the new crock pot cooking liners for quick cleanup.
• Spread the potatoes on the bottom of crock pot.
• Simmer all remaining ingredients just until cheese is melted and well incorporated. Do not bring to a boil.
• Pour cheese mixture over top of potatoes.
• Cover and cook on low setting for 7-9 hours or on high setting for 3-4 hours. Cooking time may vary depending on individual crock pots.

CHICKEN AND POTATO GRATIN WITH BROWN BUTTER CREAM

Steps:

• Season chicken all over with 4 tsp. salt. Place in an airtight container and cover. Chill at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
• Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 425°F. Toss potatoes, shallots, and 2 tsp. salt in a large bowl.
• Melt 4 Tbsp. butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring often, until butter foams, then browns, 5-8 minutes. Immediately remove from heat (it will continue to darken) and stir in cream, garlic, pepper, nutmeg, and remaining 1½ tsp. salt. Set saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, stirring, until salt is dissolved and mixture is warm to the touch. Stir in thyme and sage; remove from heat.
• Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. butter in a large stainless-steel skillet over medium-high until melted and bubbling. Working in 2 batches, cook chicken, skin side down, until golden underneath, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a 13x9" or 3-qt. baking dish and arrange skin side up. Set skillet with pan drippings aside. Nestle potatoes and shallots around chicken (don't place on top). Pour brown butter cream over chicken and vegetables, making sure herbs and spices are evenly dispersed and tucking herbs into vegetables so they don't get too crispy when they bake.
• Bake gratin until cream is mostly reduced and chicken and vegetables are dark golden brown, about 40 minutes. Let gratin cool 5-10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pulse bread in a food processor until pieces are about oat-size (you should have about 1¼ cups). Toss breadcrumbs in pan drippings in reserved skillet to coat. Cook over medium heat, scraping up browned bits with a spatula, until deep golden brown, 5-7 minutes. Let cool.
• To serve, top gratin with breadcrumbs. Serve lemon wedges alongside for squeezing over if desired.
