Sounds love...Just read your post on potato gratin. Sounds lovely. I make gratin every so often with a special meal, usually with chateaubriand or a loin of pork. It also goes beautifully with lamb. I don't measure my potatoes, just slice them and add them to a casserole rubbed with garlic and buttered. I add until I have enough. I salt and pepper them well and sprinkle chopped or pressed garlic on top. I also don't heat or measure the cream. Just add enough so that you can see it but it isn't covering it. I sometimes add some crème fraiche to the cream. Then I use my hands to mix it all gently. I cover it with lots (lots!) of cheese, usually Gruyere, sometimes Emmental and sometimes a mixture of cheeses, depending on what I have. Into the oven it goes to bake until cooked and golden brown. PS: I usually make it from uncooked potatoes but sometimes I precook them which shortens the baking time.Janet MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16827315033903114616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294756097506819118.post-18729733684589684892013-04-05T11:58:15.890-07:002013-04-05T11:58:15.890-07:00Hi Susan, I have given an almost identical recipe ...Hi Susan, I have given an almost identical recipe in one of my past blog posts. Everyone loves that dish! It is definitely for a special occasion. I rub a garlic clove on the clay dish I use and then butter it. I use Gruyere (sometimes I have mixed it with Cheddar but only occasionally; also good). I also use heavy cream and sometimes add a little creme fraiche as well. Enjoy your posts.
