Potato Gratin
This is a very nice alternative way of serving potatoes – I love the combination of the creamy potatoes and the crispy cheese on the top! It certainly goes very well with our pure Highland Beef or Lamb Roasts / Steaks / Chops, served with some vegetables and a pepper sauce or mushroom sauce. Always very popular with friends and family!
Ingredients (for 4-6 people)
- One onion, thinly cut and diced
- 10 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
- 150g grated cheese (Emmental/Cheddar are fine)
- Seasoning to taste
- About 150ml milk
This traditionally involves a marinade of the meat and vegetables the night before. As our pure Highland Beef is so tender, this may not be necessary.
Method
- Pre-heat the oven to 200 C.
- Thinly slice the potatoes and keep on the side. Cut and diced the onion.
- In an ovenproof dish, place half the potatoes and then spread the onion over them. Season with salt and pepper. Some of the cheese (1/3) can be sprinkled at this stage (I prefer to put it all on the top!). Spread the rest of the potatoes. Season again.
- Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the top and pour enough milk in so that it fills half the depth of the dish.
- Cook in the oven for one hour. Cover with foil towards the end if the top is darkening too much.
Bon Appetit!
