Alvins Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Using a mandolin, slice the red potatoes to about 3 millimeter-thick slices.
• Slice the gold potatoes to about 5-6 millimeters thick.
• In a large bowl, combine the red potatoes with the salt, pepper, and heavy cream, and stir until evenly coated.
• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Butter an oven-safe, 8 or 9-inch (20 or 23-cm), stainless steel mixing bowl.
• Starting from the center, lay the red potatoes in an overlapping, circular fashion, making sure they make good contact and are sticking to the bowl. Repeat the circular pattern up until roughly ½-inch (1-cm) from the top of the bowl.
• Place the sliced gold potatoes into the cream, stirring until fully coated with cream.
• Shake off the excess cream, then layer the potato slices at the bottom of the bowl, building in a similar circular fashion.
• After 2-3 rotations, place down 2 slices of cheddar. To fill the gaps, you might need to cut 2 more slices into halves and use those strips near the edges.
• Layer another 2 rotations of gold potatoes.
• Place the strips of bacon in a single layer across the potatoes.
• Layer another 2 rotations of gold potatoes.
• Sprinkle the chives in an even layer across the potatoes.
• Layer another 2 rotations of gold potatoes.
• Fan out the rest of the cheddar slices in a circular pattern on top of the potatoes.
• Layer another 2 rotations of gold potatoes.
• Place the circle of puff pastry on top, pressing it lightly into the potatoes.
• Bake, uncovered, for 1 hour and 30 minutes. If the pastry or the edges of potatoes near the top are starting to get too dark, cover the dish with foil and continue baking.
• Cool until the bottom of the dish is no longer warm.
• While the potatoes bake, prepare the garlic cream sauce by transferring the cream from the soaked potatoes into a medium saucepan or pot.
• Add the onion powder, garlic powder, and Parmesan, stirring while bringing to a boil. Set aside and reheat when serving.
• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Run a knife along the sides of the bowl to make sure the potatoes are release, then invert it onto a baking tray.
• Bake for another 10 minutes or so, until the slices start to turn golden brown and slightly crispy.
• Transfer the dome to a cutting board, then slice into wedges.
• Serve with the cream sauce, a sprinkle of chives.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
• In a small pot, melt the butter and fry the garlic until it's just starting to brown. Add the flour, salt and pepper. whisk until there are no lumps.
• Slowly drizzle in the milk while constantly whisking to make sure the mixture is smooth.
• Bring to a boil, then remove from heat.
• Slice the potatoes into about ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick slices, then fan them out in a small baking dish.
• Pour the sauce on top of the potatoes, then sprinkle with parmesan.
• Bake for about 1 hour, until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
• Sprinkle chopped parsley on top, then serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees and butter a 9 by 13-inch baking dish and set aside.
• Using a mandolin, V-slicer or the slicing attachment on a food processor, slice the potatoes approximately 1/8-inch thick. (If you don't want to slice all the potatoes at once, slice them one at a time and build the gratin as you go.) Create the first layer by laying the slices in overlapping rows. Once the first layer is down, season lightly with salt and pepper, then scatter with mushroom slices and a couple tablespoons of the cheese. (Don't over-do it on these layers, if you create a barrier between the adjoining potato layers, the gratin won't set.) Continue building layers until you're out of potatoes or out of room to build, but be sure to save 1/2 cup of the cheese for the top.
• Pour 2/3 cup of the half and half over the gratin then spread both hands over the surface and push down to work the air out from the layers. Add remaining liquid only if half and half does not come to the surface when you push down. Sprinkle the gratin with cheese, cover loosely with foil and place in middle of oven for 1 hour. Check for doneness by inserting the point of a paring knife straight into the gratin. If it goes through smoothly, remove the foil, return to oven, and turn on the broiler just long enough to turn the top golden-brown. Remove, and allow to sit at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Slice potatoes with skins on into 1/4 inch thick slices. Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two.
• Mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, onion and garlic powders, seasoned salt, pepper, bacon, onion, and American cheese in a bowl. Stir in the potato slices. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish. Sprinkle top with grated Parmesan cheese.
• Bake until bubbly and beginning to brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
