Potato Gratin

This is seriously easy.  Seriously cheesy.  Seriously good!

Potato Gratin:

Tyler Florence 2003

2 pounds baking potatoes, peeled and sliced paper-thin

2 cups heavy cream

2 garlic cloves, minced

3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

1 cup grated swiss cheese

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

kosher salt 

fresh ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients, tossing to coat.  Season with salt and pepper. 

Put mixture into a large casserole dish, flatten it out with your hands or a spatula.  

Bake for 40 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and gratin is bubbly.  

You may want to put it under the broiler for a few minutes to brown the gooey, wonderful cheese.

Let stand 10 minutes before serving.       

I used Swiss Cheese from Indiana...Farm Oaks Farm Sweet Swiss.

Use a mandolin to get the potatoes paper thin. 

I bought this hand-held one for about $20 and it works great!

 

Big Bowl - stir it up!

Gooey, cheesy and just plain fantastical!
