DELUXE POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 F or 200 degrees C.
• Peel the potatoes and slice thinly.
• Wash the starch off them and then pat dry in a cloth.
• Trim the leeks, discarding the coarse green ends, then slice thinly.
• Butter a gratin dish and put in half the potatoes and top with all the leeks.
• Cut the bacon into strips, fry until crisp, and then put the bacon over the leeks.
• Briefly fry the sage leaves in the leftover bacon fat until browned and crisp.
• Scatter over the leeks, along with the bacon fat.
• Grate the cheese directly over the top of the dish and then cover with the rest of the potatoes.
• Heat the stock and pour it over the potatoes until it reaches the top layer, but do not submerge them.
• Season with salt and pepper and dot with most of the remaining butter.
• Smear the last of the butter on a sheet of waxed paper and lay it, buttered side down, on top of the dish.
• Cook for 45 minutes.
• Remove and check with a skewer that the potatoes are nearly cooked.
• Mix the mustard with the creme fraiche and pour it over the gratin, smoothing with a rubber spatula to spread it evenly.
• Place the dish back in the oven without the paper for a further 15 minutes or until it is golden, bubbling and cooked through.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Butter a 1 1/2 quart baking dish with about 1 tablespoon of the softened butter.
• Arrange a layer of potatoes in the baking dish, and sprinkle some of the cheeses over them. Continue layering potatoes and cheeses until you've used them all, ending with a layer of potatoes.
• In a small bowl, whisk the cream with the salt and pepper; pour this over the potatoes. Dot the remaining butter over the top and sprinkle with the paprika. Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown on top. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Sprinkle one-third of the grated cheddar cheese on top. Repeat two more times until three layers are formed, with the layer of cheese on top. Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese all over.

AU GRATIN POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish with non-stick spray.
• Wash the potatoes, or peel if you like. We leave the skins on. Slice them thinly, about 1/4 inch thick. Boil for about 5 minutes to soften them, but don't overcook them! They should be soft, but not done.
• While potatoes are cooking, put butter and onion in a large microwave-safe dish and cook for 2-3 minutes, until onions are soft and slightly translucent. (I use my large Pyrex measuring cup.) Add remaining ingredients, mix well, and microwave 3-4 more minutes until bubbling.
• Layer potatoes and sauce mixture into greased dish, evenly coating potatoes. Top layer should be sauce. Bake for about 45 minutes until the top is browned and bubbly.
• (If you're pressed for time, microwave the casserole for about 10 minutes, then stick it under the broiler to brown the top - my family can't tell the difference!).

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.
