FRENCH ONION POTATO BAKE

Steps:

• PREPARE POTATO BAKEPreheat oven to 190ºC (375ºF) fan bake. Spray an oven-safe dish (approximately 25cm/10in square) with cooking oil spray.
• In a medium jug, whisk together crème fraîche, milk, soup mix and oregano. Peel and thinly slice potatoes and onion (use a food processor if you can - it's much quicker!). Crush garlic. Layer one quarter of the potatoes, onion and garlic in prepared dish and season with a little salt and pepper. Pour a quarter of the sauce over the top and sprinkle with a quarter of the cheese. Repeat to form three more layers. Bake for 45 minutes, until golden brown and potatoes are tender. If the top starts to brown too much, loosely cover with foil.
• PREPARE SALAD & DRESSING Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumber. Dice capsicum into small pieces and cut tomatoes in half. Slice or dice avocado. Divide rocket/salad greens between individual serving plates and top with cucumber, capsicum, tomatoes and avocado.
• Make dressing by placing oil, vinegar, sugar and mustard in a small jar. Season with a little salt and pepper and shake until well combined.
• Heat a large frying pan on medium-high. Toast pine nuts, then stir in soy sauce. Remove onto a plate.
• COOK STEAK When potato bake has 5-10 minutes left to cook, rub steaks all over with oil and season with salt and pepper. Heat the same pan used to toast pine nuts on medium-high. Cook steak for 3 minutes each side (for medium-rare). Remove steak onto a board, cover with foil and leave to rest for 5 minutes.
• SERVE Let potato bake rest for 5-10 minutes after removing from oven, then slice and serve with steak and salad. Drizzle salad with dressing and sprinkle with pine nuts.

FRENCH ONION SOUP POTATO GRATIN

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!
