POBLANO POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Roast chiles and make rajas:
• Roast chiles on their sides on racks of gas burners on high, turning with tongs, until skins are blackened all over, about 10 minutes. Immediately transfer to a bowl and let stand, covered tightly, 10 minutes.
• When chiles are cool enough to handle, peel or rub off skin. Slit chiles lengthwise, then stem, seed, and devein. Cut lengthwise into thin strips.
• Cook onions with 1 teaspoon salt in oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 8 minutes. Stir in chiles and remove rajas from heat. Reserve 1/2 cup rajas for topping.
• Make gratin:
• Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in middle. Generously butter a 3-quart shallow baking dish.
• Peel potatoes, then cut crosswise into 1/16-inch-thick slices with slicer. Transfer to a small heavy pot. Add cream, milk, and 1 teaspoon salt and bring just to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally (liquid will thicken). Stir in rajas, then pour mixture evenly into baking dish. Sprinkle reserved 1/2 cup rajas on top.
• Bake until potatoes are tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.

POTATO-STUFFED POBLANOS REVERSE POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Mix sour cream, salsa verde, and cilantro together in a bowl until sauce is evenly mixed; refrigerate.
• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and cool in a large bowl.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place peppers on the baking sheet.
• Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, 3 to 4 minutes. Place blackened peppers into a bowl and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes.
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Reserve 1 tablespoon bacon grease in the skillet. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and chop.
• Combine red bell pepper, onion, and garlic in the skillet with reserved bacon grease; cook and stir over medium heat until vegetables are softened, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Mix 1/2 of the bacon, red bell pepper mixture, Cheddar cheese, milk, and butter into the potatoes; mash until well blended.
• Remove skins from the roasted poblano peppers. Make a small cut in each pepper and scrape out seeds. Stuff peppers with potato mixture and top with remaining bacon and sauce.

RUSTIC POTATO AND POBLANO GRATIN

Steps:

• To roast the peppers, place them on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil about 8 inches from the broiler. Broil them until the skin blisters and turns black on both sides (do not burn the chilies themselves - only the skin). Turn once during broiling. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and quickly cover the peppers with a clean dish towel. Let them sit, covered, until they are cool. Using a paring knife or your fingers, carefully peel off the skins, then slit one side and remove the seeds and veins. Cut the peppers into thin strips.
• Melt the butter in the bottom of the slow cooker insert. Place a layer of sliced potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker insert (the author states that she uses a bit more than one potato per layer). Sprinkle lightly with freshly ground smoked or regular salt. Place a thin layer of cheese (about 1/3 of the cheese) on top of the potatoes. Place about half of the pepper strips on top of the cheese. Repeat with another layer of potatoes, salt, cheese and peppers. Finish with a layer of potatoes.
• Pour the water over the potatoes. Cover and cook on low for about 1 1/2 hours, or until the potatoes are beginning to get tender.
• Using a garlic press, press the garlic into the cream; pour the cream mixture over the potatoes, then add a last layer of the cheese sprinkled with a bit of salt. Re-cover and cook for another 3 hours or until the sauce has thickened and the potatoes are quite tender.

POTATO AND POBLANO GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Spray a glass 9 1/2-inch, deep dish pie dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine the poblano strips and corn.
• In a small bowl, mix together the half-and-half and crema.
• Arrange 1/2 of the potato rounds, overlapping slightly, in the prepared pie dish. Sprinkle 1/2 of the poblano-corn mixture on top, season with the salt and pepper, and top with 1/3 of the cheese. Repeat the layers, ending with the cheese. Pour the cream mixture over the potatoes. Place the pie dish on a baking sheet. Cover the dish tightly with foil. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is golden brown, about 30 minutes longer.
• Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
• Cook's Note: For easy peeling, enclose the charred poblanos tightly in a plastic bag.

POTATO/PORTOBELLO GRATIN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees and butter a 9 by 13-inch baking dish and set aside.
• Using a mandolin, V-slicer or the slicing attachment on a food processor, slice the potatoes approximately 1/8-inch thick. (If you don't want to slice all the potatoes at once, slice them one at a time and build the gratin as you go.) Create the first layer by laying the slices in overlapping rows. Once the first layer is down, season lightly with salt and pepper, then scatter with mushroom slices and a couple tablespoons of the cheese. (Don't over-do it on these layers, if you create a barrier between the adjoining potato layers, the gratin won't set.) Continue building layers until you're out of potatoes or out of room to build, but be sure to save 1/2 cup of the cheese for the top.
• Pour 2/3 cup of the half and half over the gratin then spread both hands over the surface and push down to work the air out from the layers. Add remaining liquid only if half and half does not come to the surface when you push down. Sprinkle the gratin with cheese, cover loosely with foil and place in middle of oven for 1 hour. Check for doneness by inserting the point of a paring knife straight into the gratin. If it goes through smoothly, remove the foil, return to oven, and turn on the broiler just long enough to turn the top golden-brown. Remove, and allow to sit at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

RUSTIC POTATO AND POBLANO GRATIN

Steps:

• To roast the chiles, place them on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil about 8 inches from the broiler. Broil them until the skin blisters and turns black on both sides. (Do not burn the chiles themselves.) Remove the baking sheet from the oven and quickly cover the chiles with a clean dish towel. Let them sit, covered, until they are cool. Using a paring knife or your fingers, carefully peel off the skins, then slit one side and remove the seeds and veins. Cut the chiles into thin strips.
• Melt the butter in the bottom of the slow cooker insert.
• Place a layer of the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker insert. (I use a bit more than one potato per layer.) Sprinkle lightly with freshly ground smoked or regular salt. Place a thin layer of cheese (about one-third of the cheese) on top of the potatoes. Place about half of the chile strips on top of the cheese. Repeat with another layer of potatoes, salt, cheese, and chiles. Finish with a layer of potatoes.
• Pour the water over the potatoes. Cover and cook on low for about 1 1/2 hours, or until the potatoes are beginning to get tender.
• Using a garlic press, press the garlic into the cream; pour the cream mixture over the potatoes, then add a last layer of cheese sprinkled with a bit of salt. Recover and cook for another 3 hours, or until the sauce has thickened and the potatoes are quite tender.
• A dry white wine of light to medium body would work for me with this dish. A French or Mexican Chardonnay or even a cava (Spanish sparkling wine) would also be nice.

POBLANO CHORIZO SCALLOPED POTATOES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F (170°C). Grease a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking dish with the butter.
• Add the chorizo to a large pan over medium-high heat and sauté until cooked through, 5-6 minutes. The chorizo will not change color, but it will give off a lot of red oil and become firm enough to break up with a spatula or wooden spoon.
• Transfer the chorizo to a bowl with a slotted spoon, leaving about a tablespoon of oil behind in the pan.
• Add the garlic, onion, and poblanos to the pan and sauté until the oil is absorbed and the onions are translucent and red, about 5 minutes.
• Add the salt, chorizo, and cream to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cream thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
• Use a slotted spoon to remove the solids from the cream mixture and set aside. The infused cream should be the consistency of a thin gravy. If not, continue to simmer until that consistency is reached.
• Arrange a layer of potato slices in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with some of the chorizo mixture. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and chorizo mixture until the dish is full, finishing with a layer of chorizo and vegetables. Pour the cream sauce over the top and shake the pan slightly so the sauce settles to the bottom of the dish. Cover the pan tightly with foil.
• Bake for about 60 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
• Remove the dish from the oven and turn on the broiler. Uncover the pan, and scatter the Oaxaca cheese over the top. Place the pan under the broiler to melt and crisp the cheese, 2-3 minutes. Watch very closely so it doesn't burn.
• Let the scalloped potatoes rest for at least 15 minutes, then garnish with the scallions before serving.
• Enjoy!

SQUASH GRATIN WITH POBLANOS & CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°. Roast the poblanos directly over a gas flame or under the broiler, turning, until they are charred all over. Transfer the chiles to a bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap and let them cool. Peel, stem and seed the chiles, then cut them into thin strips.
• Brush the butternut squash with 6 tablespoons of the olive oil and spread it on 2 large rimmed baking sheets. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the thyme and season with salt and pepper. Roast for about 25 minutes, until the squash is tender, shifting the pans from top to bottom and front to back halfway through baking. Increase the oven temperature to 425°.
• Meanwhile, in a large, deep skillet, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the sliced onion, garlic, oregano and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of thyme and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Add the poblano strips and cook until they are very tender, about 5 minutes. Add the heavy cream and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the crème fraîche and season the poblano mixture with salt and pepper.
• Spoon half of the poblano mixture into a large baking dish and top with half of the butternut squash and half of the Monterey Jack and farmer cheeses. Repeat with the remaining poblano mixture, butternut squash and both cheeses. Bake in the center of the oven for about 30 minutes, until the gratin is golden and bubbling. Let the gratin rest for 10 minutes. Garnish with the pumpkin seeds and serve.
• Make Ahead: The unbaked gratin can be refrigerated overnight. Return to room temperature before baking. Notes Farmer cheese is a form of cottage cheese that has had the liquid pressed out of it. It's slightly tangy with a dry texture that makes it great for crumbling. Look for it at specialty-food stores or at cheese shops.
