Potato gratin

Potato gratin is a classic, comforting dish that pairs creamy textures with rich flavors. This recipe calls for simple ingredients like potatoes, garlic, chicken gravy, and light sour cream to create a delightful side dish that's perfect for any meal.

Ingredients:

5 potatoes
1000g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tsp all-purpose white wheat flour
5g
1 cup chicken gravy
200g
1 cup light sour cream
230g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash and peel the potatoes.
- Slice the potatoes thinly (about 1/8 inch thickness) for even cooking. Use a mandoline if you have one; if not, a sharp knife will work.
3. Prepare the Garlic:
- Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely.
4. Make the Creamy Mixture:
- In a medium bowl, combine the minced garlic, all-purpose flour, chicken gravy, and light sour cream. Mix well until smooth and well-combined.
5. Layer the Potatoes:
- In a greased baking dish, start by arranging a layer of potato slices on the bottom.
- Spoon a portion of the creamy mixture over the layer of potatoes.
- Repeat the layers, alternating between potatoes and the creamy mixture, until all ingredients are used up. Finish with a layer of the creamy mixture on top.
6. Bake:
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent the top from browning too quickly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
7. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the potato gratin to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This helps the dish to set and makes it easier to slice.

Tips:

- Choose starchy potatoes like Russets for a creamier texture.

- Slice the potatoes uniformly for even cooking.

- Rub the baking dish with garlic to enhance the flavor.

- Pre-cook the potatoes slightly to reduce baking time.

- Use a mandoline for easier and more consistent slicing of the potatoes.

- Season each layer of potatoes with salt and pepper for well-rounded flavor.

- For a golden top, consider sprinkling a bit of grated cheese over the top before baking.

Potato gratin is a versatile and satisfying dish that can elevate any meal. By following these tips and using quality ingredients, you'll achieve a perfectly creamy and flavorful gratin that will impress your family and friends.
