Is there even such a thing as “bad” potatoes au gratin? I really don’t think there is. And that makes the title of this recipe even more weighty.
This is a very basic, but exceedingly delicious, version of the much-beloved side dish.
Serve it to people you love. If they don’t already love you back, they will.
TPW_3120Zee Cast of Characters: russet potatoes, heavy cream, whole milk, flour, garlic, salt, pepper, and a little softened butter. And some sharp cheddar.
Good. Very good.
Very, very, very good.
TPW_3123Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, then scrub the potatoes so they’re very clean. We’re going to include the peel in this dish, because peeling potatoes is against my religion.
It’s a strange religion. I blame my mother.
TPW_3125Slice the potatoes—not too thick, not too thin.
TPW_3126Stack ‘em up as you go…
TPW_3127And cut the stacks into fourths.
TPW_3130Soon you’ll have a positively prodigious pile of potato pieces.
Say that fast five times.
TPW_3132Now, in a bowl mix together the cream…
TPW_3132The milk…
TPW_3141And the flour. This will add just a little bit of body and thickness to the creamy sauce.
TPW_3137Now peel some cloves of garlic. You can use as few as two…but I’m a maniac and use four.
TPW_3139Just be aware that four cloves in this recipe will result in a really garlicky flavor. I happen to love this, but it might be a little strong for some.
TPW_3150Add the garlic to the bowl…
TPW_3156Followed by the salt and the pepper. Don’t skimp on the pepper! You’ll regret it if you do.
TPW_3159Whisk it all together until it’s totally combined.
TPW_3162Now smear softened butter all over a baking dish.
TPW_3227Meantime, grate a good cup of cheddar cheese. Grate it yourself! It’s cheaper that way, and much, much more delicious than the pre-grated stuff.
TPW_3166To assemble the dish, add 1/3 of the potatoes to the buttered dish.
TPW_3167Pour in 1/3 of the cream mixture, stirring right before you pour to make sure the ingredients are totally mixed up.
TPW_3170
TPW_3175
TPW_3176Now repeat with another layer of potatoes…
TPW_3180Another third of the cream mixture…
TPW_3181And ending with the rest of the potatoes…
TPW_3182And the rest of the cream mixture.
TPW_3188And there you have it: Perfect Potatoes au Gratin! Enjoy, my friends!
Oh, wait. I think I forgot a couple of steps.
Sorry. I forgot to take my evening primrose oil this morning.
TPW_3189Cover the dish with foil. Bake it for a good 30 minutes to get the potatoes started. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
TPW_3244This looks about right! The top is golden brown, and the dish is bubbling all over. (If the 20 minutes doesn’t do the trick, just up this stage by 5 or 10 minutes. You want to make sure the whole dish is very hot and bubbly—this means the potatoes are really getting the chance to get done.)
“Get done?” Is that a grammatically legitimate phrase? I’ll have to think on this today.
TPW_3246Grab the grated cheddar and sprinkle it all over the top.
TPW_3249Return it to the oven for about five more minutes, or until the cheese is totally melted and starting to bubble.
TPW_3277Perfect! And you can’t believe how my kitchen smells right now. The garlic is just intoxicating.
TPW_3284Mmmm. Will you look at this?
TPW_3286Just look—my daughter couldn’t even wait.
When it comes to tasting delicious food, she inherited her mother’s patience.
TPW_3295And here we are: tender potatoes, the delectable creamy/garlic sauce, and the sharp, melted cheddar bringing it all together.
And believe it or not, the butter we smeared all over the bottom of the pan really does add a tiny bit of buttery goodness without overpowering everything.
TPW_3296China Check: Spode “Woodland.” Stay away if you aren’t a fan of game birds.
TPW_3298Okay. Back to the potatoes. You need to make these, baby. And here’s what you can serve them with.
A big ol’ baked ham.
A big ol’ braised beef brisket.
A big ol’ ribeye steak.
A big ol’ juicy hamburger.
A big ol’ pile of pulled pork.
…Or pretty much anything else you can think of. It’s pretty much one of the most versatile side dishes there is, and one of the most crowd-pleasing.
TPW_3302Yum. That was so good! But…is it just me, or does that duck look a little ticked off?
