Tuscan Cheese Potato Bake Food

TUSCAN CHEESE POTATO BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 3-quart baking dish.
• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute onion, garlic, and thyme in hot butter until onion is tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Whisk flour, salt, and black pepper into onion mixture.
• Gradually whisk milk and cream into onion mixture; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
• Stir sour cream into sauce until smooth; add fontina cheese and stir until cheese melts.
• Arrange 1/2 the potatoes in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour 1/2 the cheese sauce over the potatoes. Repeat with remaining potatoes and cheese sauce. Top with bread crumbs to cover potatoes entirely.
• Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are tender and bread crumbs are golden brown, 60 to 70 minutes.

TUSCAN POTATO BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F.
• Bring a large pot of water to boil and add a dash of salt. Cut the potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes. Place the potatoes into the boiling water for 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and then return them to the same pan.
• Place the butter, garlic and the thyme in with the potatoes and heat over a low flame until the garlic is just beginning to brown. Discard sprigs of thyme.
• Remove the potatoes from the heat and pour in the cream, salt, pepper, pecorino-Romano cheese and blue cheese. Use the back of a fork or a masher to lightly mash the ingredients together, leaving some lumps in the potatoes if desired.
• Place the potatoes into the bottom of a lightly greased 3-quart casserole dish.
• In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, rosemary and parsley. Spoon this mixture over the potatoes and bake the casserole, uncovered, in the oven for 20 minutes.

CHEESE AND POTATO LAYER BAKE

Steps:

• Repeat layers until all ingredients have been used, finishing with a layer of cheese.
• Mix cream and milk together, sprinkle salt and pepper, and pour over potatoes.
• Cook in preheated oven 325 degrees for 1-11/2 hours. Cheese will turn golden brown and bubbly.
• Garnish with basil leaves and any remaining parsley.
