Yukon Gold Gruyère Galette Recipes

YUKON GOLD POTATO GRATIN WITH HORSERADISH, GRUYERE AND SWEET ONION

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put the cream, half-and-half, horseradish, nutmeg, garlic and onion in a medium saucepan and slowly bring the mixture to a simmer. Be sure to stir on occasion to prevent scorching. Season with salt and pepper.
• In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, spoon a thin layer of the cream and onion mixture onto the bottom. Layer the potatoes, followed by a sprinkle of cheese. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Repeat this process until the dish is filled and the gratin is moist. Combine the breadcrumbs and thyme and sprinkle on top.
• Bake until the potatoes are tender and the gratin is caramelized on top and bubbly on the edges, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

YUKON GOLD GRUYèRE GALETTE

Steps:

• Combine the shallots and 3 tablespoons of the oil in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat; Reduce to a low simmer; cook the shallots until nicely softened (don't let them brown), about 2 minutes; Remove from the heat and let cool completely (about 25 minutes at room temperature; cool them more quickly in the refrigerator if you like).
• Heat the oven to 400°F; Rub the bottom and inside edge of a 7-1/2-inch tart pan with a removable bottom with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon olive oil or spray with olive-oil spray; Put the tart pan on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil.
• Slice the potatoes as thinly as possible (about 1/16 inch) with a chef's knife; Put the potato slices in a mixing bowl, add the shallots and olive oil along with the herbs and toss well to thoroughly coat the potatoes.
• Cover the bottom of the tart pan with a layer of potato slices, overlapping them slightly; Start along the outside edge of the tart pan and, making slightly overlapping rings, move inward until the bottom is covered with one layer of potatoes.
• Sprinkle the potatoes with salt and then sprinkle about one-quarter of the Parmigiano and about one-quarter of the Gruyère over all; Repeat, until you have four layers of potatoes; Top the last layer with any remaining cheese.
• Bake the galette until the top is a reddish golden brown and the potatoes are tender in all places (a fork with thin tines should poke easily through all the layers), 45 to 50 minutes; The bottom will be crisp and the sides brown.
• Let the galette cool for 10 or 15 minutes in the pan; It will then be cool enough to handle but still plenty hot inside for serving; Run a paring knife around the edge of the galette to loosen it and carefully remove the tart ring by gently pressing the tart bottom up; Slide a very thin spatula under and all around the bottom layer to free the galette from the tart bottom; Use the spatula to gently slide the galette onto a cutting board. Cut into four or six wedges, or as many as you like.
