Gratin à La Belugue
  • Serves 6

  • Preheat Oven to 380° F 

  • Pre Time- 15 min

  • Bake Time- 30-45 min

 

Ingredients:

  • 6 medium size potatoes
    The best texture is those you would use for french fries

  • 20 oz. of heavy cream

  • 4 tablespoons butter

  • 2-3 cups of shredded Gruyere cheese

  • 2 cloves of garlic minced

    1. Peel all of your potatoes, placing them in a bowl of room temperature water to prevent discoloration.
    2. With a mandolin, slice the potatoes into 2-3 mm slices.  Try to be consistent with the thickness to ensure everything cooks evenly.
    3. In a 10-12 inch oval baking dish, pour 6 oz. of heavy cream, followed by a pinch of salt and pepper.
    4. Starting from the outside of the baking dish, begin layering your potato slices one slightly overlapping the other. Work your way around the dish in a circular fashion until you reach the middle.
    5. Take two tablespoons of butter and break it up around the dish, spacing the pieces approx. 4 inches apart.
    6. Sprinkle 1⁄2 clove of minced garlic over the potatoes and cover with a generous layer of shredded Gruyere cheese.
    7. Cover the cheese with another layer of cream – approx 6 oz followed by another sprinkle of salt and pepper.
    8. Repeat steps 4-7 until you use all of your potatoes and always end with the cream layer on top.
    9. Bake for 30-45 min until the cheese has browned on top.
