Mushroom and Potato Gratin recipe

This is a twist on traditional potatoes au gratin. The mushrooms add an earthiness which is perfect for fall and for accompanying Thanksgiving dinner. Serves 6.

Ingredients:

  • 2 large potatoes
  • 1 small container mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 tablespoons butter, plus more for buttering the dish
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese

Directions:

  1. In a small sauce pot bring the milk to a simmer and add the garlic, salt, pepper, and onion powder. Keep hot, do not boil.

  2. Peel the potatoes and then slice into rounds about 1/8 inch thick.

  3. Butter a small baking dish. Preheat the oven to 350F.

  4. Layer the potatoes into the baking dish alternatively with the mushrooms and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.

  5. After all the mushrooms and potatoes have been used remove the garlic from the milk. Pour the mixture over the potatoes.

  6. Top with the remaining Parmesan cheese and cover tightly with foil.

  7. Bake for 1 hour or until potatoes are tender. Bake uncovered an additional 20 minutes or until cheese is browned and top is crisp.
