Pioneer Woman’s Potatoes au Gratin are creamy, cheesy and done in less than an hour. Plus, they are made using whole potatoes-no peeling needed!

These potatoes au gratin are very literally perfect; starchy, full of cheese, and potato-laden goodness. I love when recipes are not only delicious but easy to boot. You don’t even have to peel the potatoes!

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons butter, softened
4 large baking potatoes or 8 smaller potatoes (about 2 pounds total)
1 ½ cups heavy cream
½ cup milk (whole or 2%)
2 tablespoons flour
2–4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Grease the bottom and sides of a baking dish with the softened butter.
Wash and scrub the potatoes clean but don’t worry about peeling them. Slice the potatoes into thick slices (somewhere between ¼ and ½ inch thick), then stack the slices and cut them into 4 pieces. Put all of the potato pieces in the bottom of the baking dish.
In a small bowl whisk the cream, milk, flour, garlic, salt, and pepper together. Pour the mixture over the potatoes.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes.
Add the cheese to the hot dish and bake for another 3-5 minutes until the cheese is all melted. Serve hot.

Perfect Potatoes au Gratin

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter, softened
8 large russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
3 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 cups freshly grated sharp Cheddar
2 green onions, sliced thin (white and light green parts only)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a large baking dish with the butter.
Slice the potatoes into sticks, and then cut the sticks to create a dice.
Combine the cream and milk in a bowl. Add the flour, salt and some pepper. Whisk it together well so that the flour is incorporated into the milk/cream mixture. Add the diced potatoes to the prepared baking dish and pour the creamy mixture all over the top.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 to 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake 15 to 20 minutes more. Just before serving, sprinkle on the grated cheese and return it to the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle on the green onions and serve it hot. Creamy, dreamy and divine.

Perfect Dreamy and Cheesy Potatoes au Gratin

This recipe comes from the Pioneer Woman’s Blog. It’s a non fancy schmancy potato gratin, because you use Russet potatoes and sharp cheddar cheese. What this is is pure comfort food, with a creamy slightly garlic infused sauce. Sinfully good!

Ingredients

46 ounces medium-sized potatoes, peeled
1 cup milk
2 cups heavy cream
2 large cloves garlic, peeled
1 ¾ cups grated Gruyere cheese
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

fresh chives as garnish

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 F.
Slice the potatoes into thin rounds — less than ¼ inch in thickness.
Add the milk, cream, and whole garlic cloves to a large saucepan and heat on a burner at medium until simmering, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon.
Add the sliced potatoes to the pan and let them simmer in the garlic infused milk/cream for 5 minutes, and move the potatoes around in the pan frequently with a wooden spoon to prevent them from sticking to the bottom.
Using a large slotted spoon, remove the potatoes from the pan and add about half of them to a large, ovenproof baking dish. Spread the potatoes out in an even layer.
Remove the rest of the potatoes from the pan and set them aside.
Remove the garlic cloves from the pan and pour about half of the cream mixture evenly over the top of the potatoes in the oven dish.
Sprinkle salt and pepper over the potatoes, then sprinkle half of the grated cheese evenly over the top.
Add the remaining potatoes on top in another layer, then add the cream, salt and pepper, and cheese once again.
Bake the potatoes for 45 to 50 minutes, or until they are bubbling and golden on the top.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for several minutes, then serve, optionally sprinkled with fresh chives.

They note the recipe is from Pioneer Woman’s cooking blog – such a wonderful site! 2Bleu zamailed me that she felt the cheddar cheese on top improved the flavor enough to warrant an extra star – think I’ll be trying it with additional cheese on top too ( & maybe scattered inside…).

1 teaspoon rosemary, finely chopped
1 teaspoon parsley, finely chopped
1 teaspoon chives, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon sage, finely chopped

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

CAN I MAKE GLUTEN FREE AU GRATIN POTATOES?

Yes! To make this recipe gluten-free, switch out the 2 tablespoons of flour with 1 tablespoon of corn starch.

WHAT ARE THE BEST POTATOES TO USE FOR AU GRATIN POTATOES?

Russet potatoes are recommended for this recipe because of their starch content. They hold together well and cook up into nice soft pieces that stay together. That being said, I have used all kinds of potatoes and it still turns out and tastes great each time.
