This classic custardy gratin of vegetables is super versatile. You can use all potatoes, or your choice of sweet, white and turnips, any kind of cheese and the caramelized onions or not. But this version by Chef Hal Holden-bache of Lockeland Table is hard to beat. Hal uses a mandolin to thinly slice the vegetables.
Ingredients
- 2 onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) grated gruyere cheese
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 5 ounces sweet potatoes or butternut squash, peeled and sliced
- 5 ounces white potatoes, peeled and sliced
- 5 ounces turnips, peeled and sliced
- braised turnip greens
Preparation
Saute onions in butter until browned and caramelized, about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350F.
Rub baking dish with garlic. Place melted butter in shallow gratin or baking dish. Combine eggs, cheese, cream, salt, pepper and thyme; whisk well.
Combine the potatoes and turnip slices. Layer one third sliced vegetables, one third caramelized onions, and one third greens in prepared dish. Pour one third custard over, repeat layering vegetables, onions, greens and cream mixture.
Cover with foil and bake 1 hour or until potatoes are soft or tender when pierced with a knife. Remove foil and bake for 10 more minutes until bubbly and golden.
