Potatoes reign in Polish cuisine. We can eat them for dinner in various forms. Some like ordinary meat, cooked potatoes covered with dill, others prefer puree, and others or noodles. These popular vegetables are also added to soups.
It turns out that you can make potatoes from French cuisine, namely gratin. We prepare the whole in an ovenproof dish. Just cut the vegetables into slices, pour cream, then sprinkle with cheese and bake. Then we get a dish with a creamy, delicate consistency with a baked, crunchy top. This is a classic comfort food in a French edition.
For a potato casserole, it is best to choose flour potatoes that have a lot of starch. As for cheese, we recommend such a harder, yellow, e.g. French Gruyère or Polish amber. An additional ingredient of Gratin is thyme, often used in France, perfectly matching with potatoes.
What ingredients do we need to make a potato casserole? Here is the exact list:
- 1 kg of potatoes;
- 150 g of grated cheese;
- 3 cloves of garlic;
- 1 cup of cream 30 percent;
- Salt as desired.
To make a potato casserole, At the beginning we peel potatoes and cut them into slices 2-3 mm thick. We use for this mandolin.
Then we grease the heat -resistant vessel with butter and on its bottom We put garlic squeezed through the Prague. Lightly sprinkle it with salt, preferably coarsely ground, sea.
In the next step, we lay the slices of potatoes layers and sprinkle each layer with salt. Then pour them with cream and close the dish. Put the whole in the oven preheated to 200 degrees Celsius and bake for about an hour. However, we must make sure that the vegetables do not burn from the top.
After an hour, carefully remove the dish, remove the lid from it and sprinkle the dish with grated cheese. Put the potato casserole again in the oven for 15 minutes.
We eat a ready potato dish ourselves or with your favorite salad. Nothing prevents you from served to meat, although it is full in itself.
