Herby Potato Gratin
A creamy potato gratin layered with Planet Organic herbs and a vibrant green herby cream, finished with Gruyère, Parmigiano Reggiano and fresh chives.
Ingredients
Potatoes
- 1 tbsp butter softened, for greasing
- 2 kg white potatoes skin on, thinly sliced (use a mandolin for even slices)
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp Planet Organic Rosemary
- 1 tsp Planet Organic Thyme
- 1 tsp Planet Organic Oregano
- 1 tsp Planet Organic Garlic Granules
- Pinch Planet Organic Nutmeg
- Sea salt flakes and Planet Organic Black Pepper to taste
- Green Herby Cream
- 500 ml thickened cream
- 5 garlic cloves
- Pinch Planet Organic Nutmeg
- Sea salt flakes and Planet Organic Black Pepper to taste
- 1 handful fresh parsley
- 1 handful fresh basil
- 1 handful baby spinach optional, for colour
To Finish
- 1½ cups grated Gruyère cheese
- ⅓ cup finely grated Parmigiano Reggiano
- Fresh chives finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190°C fan-forced.
- Grease a large shallow round Dutch oven or casserole dish with the butter.
- Arrange the sliced potatoes in the dish. Drizzle with the olive oil, then season evenly with the rosemary, thyme, oregano, garlic granules, nutmeg, sea salt and black pepper.
- Cover with a lid (or foil) and bake for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the herby cream. Add the cream, garlic, nutmeg, salt, pepper, parsley, basil and baby spinach (if using) to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and pour the herby cream evenly over the top. Sprinkle over the Gruyère cheese.
- Cover again and bake for a further 60 minutes, removing the lid for the final 30 minutes so the top becomes golden and bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and rest for 10 minutes.
- Finish with the Parmigiano Reggiano and fresh chives before serving.
