Sage Potatoes Au Gratin
A Sunny Anderson Recipe


Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter, divided
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
10 fresh sage leaves
1 pound russet potatoes
Cayenne pepper
1/2 cup grated Manchego cheese (I substitute with Monterey Jack)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter an 8 by 8-inch casserole dish using 1 tablespoon of the butter.

In a pot, add the heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and sage leaves. Bring to a simmer and steep for 10 minutes. While steeping, peel and slice the potatoes 1/8-inch thick on a mandolin. Begin to layer the potatoes on the bottom of the prepared dish, overlapping each slice by half. When the first layer of potatoes is complete, season with salt, cayenne pepper, and sprinkle with a third of the cheese. Repeat two more times, ending with a final layer of just potatoes.

Strain the heavy cream and discard the sage. Pour the heavy cream over the casserole, pressing the potatoes down. Dot the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in pieces evenly over the top of the potatoes. Cover with aluminum foil and place in the oven, lowering the temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake, covered, for 40 minutes. Uncover and bake 20 minutes more. Serve hot.

Just saw this on an episode of The Kitchen. The only thing I didn't like was that it was so soupy.

...soupy

mebets that could be solved by a lower temp & longer bake time.
jacked up to crisp at the end....

cream has to bubble&boil to thicken - unless you help it out with a Tbsp of roux per cup.

I hate sage. our school had one seasoning - WW2 leftover 15 pound tins of sage - and that's what we got - in everything . . .

Holy cow, that looks incredible, John!

I know that a little thyme goes a long way, but, damn, that looks wonderful!
