Golden Potato And Onion Gratin Recipes

Steps:

• In a saucepan, heat cream, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, saffron, and nutmeg over medium until bubbling around edges. Remove from heat; let stand 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat butter in a medium skillet over medium until bubbling. Add onion, season generously with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking until deep golden brown, about 15 minutes. (If mixture is becoming too dark, add water, 1 teaspoon at a time, and scrape up any browned bits; you should have about 1/2 cup caramelized onion.)
• Preheat oven to 300°F. Brush a 2-quart baking dish with butter. Peel and thinly slice potatoes 1/8-inch thick. Shingle half of potatoes in bottom of dish. Top with caramelized onion and half of cheese. Shingle remaining potatoes over top. Pour cream mixture over potatoes, and top with remaining cheese. Bake until potatoes are fork-tender and top is bubbling and golden, about 1 hour and 25 minutes. Let stand at least 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• For the caramelized onions: In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Once melted and bubbling, add a large handful of the onions and cook until translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat until all the onions have been added. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions turn medium brown, about 30 minutes. If the onions start to get too dark, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of beef stock as necessary. Add the sherry to deglaze the pan. Add the mustard and stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• For the potato gratin: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, cut the potatoes into thin slices. Do your best to keep the potatoes in a stack--this will make it easier to layer them in the pan. Set the potatoes aside.
• Use the reserved butter wrapper to lightly grease the bottom and sides of a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet. Discard the wrapper.
• Arrange a thin shingled layer of potatoes in concentric circles around the skillet. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper, then arrange an even layer of caramelized onions on top of the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
• In a medium bowl, combine the Gruyere and mozzarella and reserve half for later use. Sprinkle on a layer of the remaining cheese mixture over the onions. Repeat the layers until all the ingredients (not including the reserved cheese) have been used. Press down firmly on the layers to flatten.
• In a large bowl or measuring cup, combine the heavy cream and beef stock and pour over the gratin. Cover the skillet with foil and place on a sheet pan. Bake the potatoes, covered, until the top and edges have begun to brown and the potatoes are tender, 1 hour 15 to 1 hour 30 minutes. You can test by inserting a knife into the potatoes; if it goes in and comes out without resistance, then the potatoes are done.
• Remove the skillet from the oven, remove the foil and turn the broiler on high. Combine the croutons and French fried onions. Cover the gratin with a layer of the crouton mixture followed by the remaining cheese. Broil until golden brown and bubbly, 5 to 8 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

Steps:

• Combine Yukon Gold potatoes and sliced onions in heavy large saucepan. Add enough water to cover. Bring water to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are almost tender, about 3 minutes. Drain potato-onion mixture well.

Arrange remaining potato-onion mixture atop cheeses. Pour cream over. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then remaining 2/3 cup Gruy&ère cheese and 6 tablespoons Parmesan cheese. (Can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.) Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake gratin uncovered until cream thickens, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven. Preheat broiler. Broil gratin until top is golden, about 2 minutes.

• Recipe can be prepared up to this point a day ahead. Cover and refrigerate onions until ready to use.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl, toss potato slices with pepper and onion mixture. Transfer potato mixture to shallow 3 1/2 quart casserole dish or 13 x 9 inch glass baking dish. Cover casserole and bake 1 hour or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
• Meanwhile, in the same skillet, heat remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium/high heat. Add bread crumbs and cook five minutes or until toasted, stirring occasionally. Remove skillet from heat, stir in parsley.
