Cheesy Potato And Kale Gratin With Rye Croutons Recipes

CHEESY POTATO AND KALE GRATIN WITH RYE CROUTONS

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 350ºF. Arrange bread slices on a rimmed baking sheet and bake, flipping once halfway through, until dry and lightly toasted, 15-20 minutes. Let cool. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag and break into irregular, 1/2"-1" pieces. Transfer to a medium bowl; set aside.
• Meanwhile, wash and spin-dry kale, then layer between paper towels or a large clean kitchen towel and pat dry.
• Mix Gruyère and Parmesan in a medium bowl. Shingle one-quarter of potatoes in 3 or 4 rows, slightly overlapping, in bottom of baking dish. Sprinkle with one-quarter of thyme, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/8 tsp. pepper. Top with 2 cups kale and one-quarter of cheese mixture. Repeat 2 more times. Shingle remaining potatoes over cheese; top with 1/4 tsp. salt, 1/8 tsp. pepper, and remaining thyme. Reserve remaining kale and cheese.
• Stir cream, garlic, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/8 tsp. pepper in a liquid measuring cup. Pour evenly over potatoes.
• Bake gratin 40 minutes. Cover with foil and continue to bake until cream is bubbling and thick and potatoes are tender when pierced with a paring knife, 35-45 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, toss reserved croutons with 2 Tbsp. oil in a medium bowl. Toss remaining kale with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil. Top gratin with kale, remaining cheese, then croutons, allowing kale pieces to peek through. Bake gratin until croutons are golden brown and exposed kale edges are well-crisped, about 15 minutes more. Let cool at least 10 minutes before serving.
• Do Ahead
• Bread can be toasted 3 days ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Kale can be torn, washed, and patted dry 3 days ahead. Wrap in paper towels, place in a resealable plastic bag, and chill.
• Gratin can be made 1 day ahead. Let cool, then wrap tightly in plastic and chill. Bring to room temperature, cover with foil, and warm in a 300ºF oven until heated through, 15-20 minutes. Uncover and continue to warm to re-crisp croutons and exposed kale edges, about 5 minutes.

CHEESY AU GRATIN POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with the butter.
• Dice the potatoes and place in the prepared baking dish.
• Combine the cream and milk in a bowl. Add the flour, salt and pepper. Whisk together until the flour is incorporated. Pour the cream mixture over the top of the potatoes.
• Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and top with the cheeses. Bake for an additional 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Sprinkle over the chives and serve.

KALE & SWEET POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the over to 400°F Rub the inside of a 8"x8" baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter.
• Combine garlic, kale, potatoes, half-and-half, cinnamon, nutmeg and remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a pot; stir. Season with salt and pepper and taste the creamy liquid-it should be seasoned generously. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat while stirring the mixture. After 8-10 minutes the potatoes will be a little tender, and their starch will have thickened the liquid considerably.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish; smooth the top as much as possible. Cover the gratin with cheddar and bake until deeply golden brown, about 20-30 minutes. Let gratin cool and set a little before serving.

KALE AND POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Butter a 2-quart shallow baking dish.
• Wash, derib and coarsely chop the kale.
• Place in a pot with a little bit of water and steam until almost tender, 5 minutes or so. Check to make sure it's not burning.
• Peel and cut potatoes and onions into 1/8-inch thick rounds.
• If desired, saute onions until lightly browned. It gives more flavor, I think.
• Drain kale and let stand until cool enough to handle. Press out excess water.
• Build up alternating layers of potatoes, onions and kale (two layers each) in baking dish, beginning and ending with potatoes and dotting each onion layer with butter, minced tarragon, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
• Pour half-and-half over top, cover and bake in oven until potatoes are tender and almost all liquid is absorbed, 30-45 minutes.
• Place under broiler, if desired, to brown the top.

CHEESY POTATOES GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions, then season with salt and cook until the onions are soft and very aromatic, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in the flour and cook until the roux is the consistency of wet sand, 3 to 4 minutes. Whisk in the milk, bring to a boil and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Turn off the heat and whisk in the mustard and cheeses. Season with salt to taste to make sure it is delicious!
• Place a quarter of the potatoes in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Ladle a quarter of the cheese sauce evenly over the potatoes. Repeat this process 3 or 4 more times with the remaining potatoes and sauce, pushing down the potatoes between each layer and topping with the sauce. Place the baking dish on a sheet tray lined with foil. Bake, rotating the dish halfway through, until the potatoes are soft when poked with a fork, 50 to 60 minutes. Tent with foil if the top is getting too brown.
• Let sit for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
• Hot cheesy potatoes!

SLOW COOKER POTATO, LEEK, AND KALE GRATIN WITH TOO MUCH CHEESE

Steps:

• Set the slow cooker to the sauté function. Add the oil and, once hot, add the leek and cook for 1-2 minutes, then add the kale and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, or until the leek is soft. Gently scoop into a bowl. Line the slow cooker with a sheet of baking paper, working carefully as it will be hot.
• Add the cream, stock and cheeses to a bowl and use a fork to combine.
• Arrange one-third of the potato slices over the bottom of the lined bowl, overlapping them slightly. Pour in one-third of the cream mixture and sprinkle with one-third of the leek mixture. Season and repeat the process until all the ingredients have been used.
• You should get three decent layers of cheesy potato goodness. Close the lid and cook on high for 4 hours.
• Check the liquid at the 3-hour mark. If there is a lot of liquid remaining, leave the lid off for the last hour of cooking. If, at 4 hours, there is still too much liquid, remove the lid and, if your cooker has it, hit the reduce function, or simply the sauté function, and cook for 2-5 minutes. This will quickly get rid of any excess moisture.
• Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes in the slow cooker before gently removing. If you try to cut it when still hot, it tends to go everywhere. Alternatively, scoop the gratin straight from the bowl onto the plate. It might not look amazing, but it's the kind of dish that is here for a good time, not a long time.
• Season generously with salt and pepper and serve. Eat wearing stretchy pants; you are going to need them.
