Hot smoked salmon and potato gratin

Hot smoked salmon and potato gratin is a delectable and rich dish that's perfect for any occasion. This comforting gratin combines layers of creamy potatoes, smoky salmon, and melty cheddar cheese for a meal that is sure to impress your family and friends.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
72g
3/4 cup milk (1% fat)
180g
2 garlic cloves
6g
10 potatoes
2000g
8 oz salmon
230g
1 cup cheddar cheese
100g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Baking Dish:
Grease a large baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches) with butter.
3. Prepare the Cream Mixture:
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, milk, and minced garlic. Season the mixture with a bit of salt and pepper to taste, and stir to combine.
4. Assemble the Gratin:
- Spread a layer of the thinly sliced potatoes on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle a portion of the flaked hot smoked salmon evenly over the potato layer.
- Drizzle a portion of the cream mixture over the top.
- Repeat these layers until all the potatoes and salmon are used, ending with a final layer of potatoes.
- Pour any remaining cream mixture evenly over the top layer of potatoes.
5. Add the Cheese:
Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the assembled gratin.
6. Bake:
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
7. Brown the Top:
After 45 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
8. Cool and Serve:
Remove the gratin from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This resting time allows the flavors to meld and makes it easier to slice.
9. Enjoy:
Serve the hot smoked salmon and potato gratin warm. It pairs beautifully with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables. Enjoy!

Tips:

- Use a mandoline slicer to get evenly thin potato slices for a more uniform cook.

- Ensure you whisk the heavy cream and milk together well to distribute the flavors evenly.

- Let the gratin rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the sauce to set before serving.

- For a crispy top layer, consider adding breadcrumbs with the cheddar cheese during the last 10 minutes of baking.

Hot smoked salmon and potato gratin is a comforting dish that marries rich flavors with creamy textures, making it a crowd-pleasing favorite. Following the tips provided, you’ll achieve a beautifully golden and flavorful gratin that’s perfect for any gathering or special meal.
