Rosemary Potato Gratin

[Rob]

* 1 (14.1-oz.) package refrigerated piecrusts
* 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
* 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
* 2 cups (8 oz.) shredded Gruyère cheese, divided
* 1 1/2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
* 1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes
* 1 teaspoon kosher salt
* 2/3 cup heavy cream
* 1 garlic clove, minced
* Garnish: fresh rosemary sprigs

Preparation

* 1. Preheat oven to 450°. Unroll piecrusts on a lightly floured surface. Sprinkle rosemary, pepper, and 1/2 cup cheese over 1 piecrust; top with remaining piecrust. Roll into a 13-inch circle. Press on bottom and up sides of a 9-inch springform pan; fold edges under. Chill.
* 2. Meanwhile, peel and thinly slice Yukon gold and sweet potatoes.
* 3. Layer one-third each of Yukon gold potatoes, sweet potatoes, and salt in prepared crust. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese. Repeat layers twice, pressing layers down slightly to fit.
* 4. Microwave cream and garlic in a 1-cup microwave-safe measuring cup at HIGH 45 seconds; pour over potato layers in pan. Sprinkle with remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Cover pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place on a baking sheet.
* 5. Bake at 450° for 1 hour. Uncover and bake 25 minutes or until potatoes are done and crust is richly browned. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes. Carefully transfer to a serving plate, and remove sides of pan. If desired, carefully slide gratin off bottom of pan using a long knife or narrow spatula. Garnish, if desired.

Looks tasty.
I'd chop up some cooked bacon in there and call it a full meal.

Sounds and looks great, I can taste it with my eyes! Not something you'd want to make everyday, but perfect for special occasions.

Holy carp.

Thanks, Dixie.

Is this your recipe? It's awesome. I did have problems with a slow drip leak from the flexible pan design.

Oven is on self-clean right now. Wish I had known... I would have put a broiler pan underneath it.

That's why I was trying ti put tinfoil down in my parents oven when it blew.

cheaper to wrap the bottom of the assembled springform in foil.

I think bacon would be good, BUT, it would mask the rosemary flavor.

Not my recipe. I got this one from Southern Living magazine. (awesome recipes) I like to try different things from there and sometimes come up with a winner.

Sorry about the drip. Mine have not done that but I will throw some foil down for future in case they do. My springforms are pretty old so itight be best that I buy new ones anyway.

I agree. No on the bacon.

What became of your oven? Were you able to get it repaired?

[Sea Six]

Just made this again to go with a pork chop with wine, balsamic vinegar and garlic sauce.

Still having probs with the leaking springform pan.

Did you slice the potatoes by hand, or did you use a mandolin?

I actually used my 12-string guitar. About half of them come out really thin, and the other half are fairly thick.

Mixes it up a bit.















No, not really. I sliced them by hand.
















A series of karate chops.























No, not really. I used a knife.

Sister made this. She said it was great!

What is Gruyere cheese? I may have to go to a different store to find it.
