CHICKEN POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Boil chicken in a pot of water for 25 to 30 minutes until cooked through. Chicken will no longer be pink inside, and juices will run clear when done. Remove chicken from pot and place on cutting board until cool to touch.
• 2. In a hot skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove from pan and drain on paper towel. Set skillet aside to reserve bacon grease. When bacon is cooled slightly, chop it into small bits. Set aside.
• 3. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the bacon fat in the skillet and heat until melted. Add 1/2 of the garlic and all the chopped onion. Stir well to coat with butter and bacon grease, and cook on low until onions are soft (10 to 15 minutes). Season mixture with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and stir in about 3/4 of the chopped chives. (Keep the remaining chives to use as garnish later.)
• 4. When chicken has cooled enough to handle, slice into pieces and pull apart (shredding) by hand. Set aside.
• 5. In a large bowl, combine potatoes, heavy cream, 1/2 cup of parmesan, the cooked garlic, onion and chive mixture, and the remaining uncooked garlic. Season with salt and pepper, and stir ingredients to mix and coat the potatoes.
• 6. Begin placing potato slices into the dish by hand, overlapping them shingle-style against each other. (Reserve the cream left in the bowl.) When first potato layer is in place, sprinkle with 1/4 cup of parmesan, then place the shredded chicken over the potatoes to form the next layer.
• 7. Sprinkle the cooked bacon bits evenly over the shredded chicken, and layer 1/2 cup of Gruyere cheese over the chicken and bacon.
• 8. Repeat the next layer with potato slices, continuing to overlap them against each other shingle-style. Sprinkle potatoes with remaining 1/4 cup of parmesan. Continue to layer all remaining potatoes and sprinkle with Gruyere cheese. Top the final layer with any remaining Gruyere.
• 9. From the bowl, pour the cream and its ingredients over all ingredients in the baking dish, making sure to coat all layers evenly. Cover dish with foil, and bake for 1 hour. Remove foil and bake an additional 30 minutes until golden brown. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with remaining chopped chives.

POTATO GRATIN WITH GRUYèRE AND CRèME FRAîCHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Generously butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Arrange half of potato slices in bottom of prepared dish, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Spread half of crème fraîche over potatoes and sprinkle with half of cheese. Top with remaining potatoes, overlapping slightly; sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Spread with remaining crème fraîche; sprinkle with remaining cheese.
• Bake gratin uncovered 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Continue to bake gratin until potatoes are tender and top is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven; let stand 10 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
• Available at some supermarkets. If unavailable, heat 1 1/2 cups whipping cream to lukewarm (85°F). Remove from heat and mix in 3 tablespoons buttermilk. Cover and let stand in warm draft-free area until slightly thickened, 24 to 48 hours, depending on temperature of room. Chill until ready to use.

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.

• Peel the potatoes and slice them paper-thin on a mandoline.
• As you work, place the potato slices in the bowl with the cream and seasonings.
• Add the gruyere and combine thoroughly.
• Pour the potato-cheese mixture into the prepared gratin dish, making sure the potato slices are flat and level.
• Place the gratin dish inside a roasting pan and fill the pan to three quarters full with hot water, creating a bain-marie.
• Carefully place the bain-marie in the center of the oven and bake for 2 hours, or until completely set and golden on top.

GRUYERE POTATO GRATIN

Mix together the water and wine, and pour into dish. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake in preheated oven until the potatoes are tender, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Once tender, remove the foil, and pour the cream evenly over the potatoes. Bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes to brown the top and thicken the cream.

BAKED TOMATO, GRUYèRE & POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Generously grease a large, deep, ovenproof dish. Strip the leaves from 3 of the thyme sprigs. Mix the gruyère with all but 2 tbsp of the grated parmesan, then mix the double cream with the stock.
• Start layering up the sliced potatoes with sprinklings of the shallots, garlic, thyme leaves, cheese and most of the walnuts, plus plenty of seasoning. Drizzle a little of the cream mixture over each layer too. When you've layered in half of those ingredients, top with half of the tomatoes. Continue layering the rest of the ingredients, finishing with the last of the cream. Top with the remaining tomatoes, then sprinkle over the breadcrumbs, the remaining parmesan and walnuts, and enough thyme to look pretty. Add a few more knobs of butter, then cover with foil.
• Bake the gratin for 1 hr 15 mins, then remove the foil and bake for a further 40 mins until golden and crispy on top, and a knife poked into the centre of the potatoes slides in easily. Leave to rest for 10-15 mins, then serve.

Steps:

• Crush and peel 2 garlic cloves. In a small pot over medium heat, combine cream, the crushed garlic, the thyme and 1/2 tablespoon sage. Bring to a simmer; cook until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 30 minutes. Strain and cool.
• While cream cools, heat oil in an ovenproof 10-inch skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add half the beef and brown well, crumbling with a fork as it cooks. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; transfer meat to a paper-towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining meat, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the pepper.
• Add onion to pan drippings (drizzle with oil if pan seems dry). Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender and golden, about 10 minutes. Peel and chop remaining 2 garlic cloves; add to pan with remaining sage. Return meat to skillet. Toss in spinach, a handful at a time, until wilted. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, the Worcestershire and pepper to taste.

Repeat with remaining vegetables and cheese. Spoon reduced cream evenly over top.
