Potato casserole recipes with cheese. Potato casserole

05.03.2020

Greetings, my dear culinary experts. I noticed that many of my friends associate casserole with curd pie... Maybe because they sunk into the soul curd casseroles that they were fed in kindergarten🙂 But in general, this dish is very diverse. It can be meat, pasta, mushroom, fish, potato, etc. Today's article is devoted to the latter option. More precisely, how to make a potato casserole with cheese.

A bit of history

Who came up with the idea of making multi-component casseroles is unknown. But, apparently, it was not a courtier who was fed up with exquisite food, but a thrifty housewife. Perhaps she simply did not have enough food to prepare individual dishes. So she mixed everything that was left of the supplies and sent the dish to the oven.

Some believe that this inventor lived in America. Others believe that she was Italian, while others attribute the resourcefulness to the Russian. Where among these versions the truth is unknown.

The casserole, which I will tell you about today, is also called the Dauphinua gratin. This is a regional dish from Dauphiné, a historical region in southeastern France. In the original version, casserole made from raw potatoes, which is cut into thin slices, and cream. But this dish is prepared without cheese.

Finely chopped garlic is added to the casserole, and then oil. In the dish, the potatoes are laid in overlapping layers, like fish scales. After that, everything is poured into cream. And then the dish is baked in the oven until soft and a beautiful golden brown crust.

So if you want to make a classic Gratin Dauphinua, then don't add cheese. It will turn out to be a completely vegetarian dish. By the way, it is being prepared rather quickly. And it won't take a lot of time to prepare the products.

Cooking features

I like the cheese version better. So, excuse me, dear inhabitants of Dauphine, on this our paths diverge 🙂

I add solid or Adyghe cheese- depending on what is in the refrigerator. However, more often I try to buy exactly the Adyghe one. It has a slightly lower calorie content compared to other hard cheeses.

Or I cook with mushrooms and chopped meat add. But I adhere to one rule - you need to cook from raw potatoes. After many years of treating my husband to this dish, I realized that this recipe works at any time.

The main thing to do is to chop the potatoes with a sharp knife in equal slices. If there is a Berner-type grater and you have adapted to it, start it up. The size of the dish is 20x20 cm and this amount of ingredients is enough for 6 people.

If your oven bakes unevenly, don't panic. Cover the dish with foil, and 10 minutes before the end of cooking, remove it. This will give a golden brown crust, and everything will be baked well inside.

Now for the amount of milk. If you have a shape with low sides, it is better to reduce the amount. When heated, the milk boils and tends to escape 🙂 Therefore, you will have to tear out the oven afterwards. In general, you will have to experiment with milk until you understand how much is needed.

Yes, and do not rush to get the casserole out of the oven right away. While it is hot, it is a little wet. Leave in the oven for 10-15 minutes, there it will set a little. Then the crust will turn out to be glossy and crispy when cut. Alternatively, you can do this in the evening and leave in the oven overnight. In the morning, cut and heat in the microwave. Real jam.

And now I'll tell you how to cook this dish step by step. Catch the recipe from the photo and cook with pleasure. And then in the comments write what happened and whether you and your family liked it.

Step 4. Mix cream with milk, add salt to taste. Pour this mixture over the potatoes, and then sprinkle with the remaining grated cheese on top. Step 5. Bake the dish for 40-50 minutes. Towards the end, test the doneness with a knife or fork. If necessary, cover the casserole with foil if the oven burns heavily on one side. Step 6. Take your time to remove the casserole from the oven. Leave the dish in the oven for another 10-15 minutes.

Description

I usually make mashed potatoes or fried potatoes - easy, quick and delicious.

But then I came across a simple recipe for a potato casserole with cheese - ruddy, golden, it looked very appetizing!

And I set out to make a potato casserole to compare the dish with the potato recipes we already know.

Ingredients:

6 medium sized potatoes;
100 g of hard cheese ("Russian", "Dutch");
2-3 eggs;
3-4 tablespoons of mayonnaise (in our recipe we used homemade mayonnaise; I think sour cream or cream will work too);
Salt and ground black pepper according to your taste;
3-4 cloves of garlic;
A small bunch of dill (you can use frozen or dried herbs).

Instructions:

Grate the cheese on a fine grater and divide it in half.

Add finely chopped dill and 1-2 eggs to one part of the grated cheese (depending on what kind of casserole you have, large or small - the ingredients are indicated for a round shape 26 cm in diameter, I baked in a rectangular one).

Add the egg, mayonnaise and garlic to the second part of the cheese. Add the potatoes grated on a coarse grater there.

Salt and pepper and stir the potato mixture.

Lubricate the form with vegetable oil and put the potatoes in it in an even layer.

Beat the egg, dill and cheese and pour the mixture evenly over the casserole using a spoon. Egg and cheese create a delicious crust on the casserole, and dill will add a delicious flavor to the dish!

Cook the potato casserole with cheese at 180C for about 40 minutes. When the crust is browned, it's done!

I was eager to try it, what kind of casserole does it taste like? Cut it straight into the form into portioned square pieces, gently take it out with a spatula or fork and try!

The taste is interesting and unexpected. I couldn't understand at once what he reminds me of. Either potatoes, or zrazy ... And more - a potato layer in puff salads... For lovers of mashed potatoes and boiled potatoes - unusual, but it tastes like this ... especially if you pour sour cream.

What to cook for dinner? I already wrote an article on this topic, where I suggested it for the whole family. This time I decided to write a recipe for this simple dish, but at the same time very popular and satisfying, like a potato casserole. Such a dinner (or lunch) will appeal to everyone, especially since there are many options for making casseroles. I wrote 7 recipes for potato casseroles, but you can add new ingredients to each of them to your liking.

This dish is ideal for the autumn-winter period, when, having come home from the cold, you want something hot, aromatic and satisfying. Pour a glass of your favorite wine, wrap yourself in a warm blanket and enjoy a cozy homemade meal ...

Today I will prepare my beloved for you potato casserole with cheese... The main advantage of this recipe is that it does not require special attention. I just prepare all the ingredients, put them in the right order and send that "happiness" into the preheated oven. Here it is important not to forget to start the timer, so as not to get carried away by something else and the casserole does not burn out. But let's talk about everything in order ...

Inventory and kitchen appliances

cutting board;
cutting knife;
coarse grater;
corolla;
a bowl or bowl in which we will mix milk, eggs and cheese;

a knife for peeling vegetables;
baking dish;
large frying pan;
foil;
kitchen timer or mobile phone app.

Necessary products

It is worthwhile to immediately make a reservation about several significant points before you go shopping in the supermarket.

Choosing the "right" cheese

When I say "correct" I do not mean any particular species. Choosing cheese for a recipe is a true art, but accessible to everyone. There are just a few basic rules to learn. Today we need to choose a cheese that will melt well in the oven.
In most cases, for these purposes are used semi-solid varieties, such as Gouda, Dutch, Kostroma, Poshekhonsky, Russian or Edam. They are oily and smooth, easy to grate and are often used for baking.
Hard cheeses, such as parmesan, cheddar or emmental are also great, but it is very important to consider that these varieties have characteristic and rather spicy, sweetish or bitter shades that not everyone may like.

Personally, when I want to pamper myself and loved ones, I add a little to the main cheese parmesan, so to speak, "for the smell." It has a pronounced seductive aroma and taste with savory nutty-fruity notes. And also, due to the fact that it is very hard and dense, it can be cut into thin shavings, like paper, and the dish will not only smell, but also look very impressive.

Choosing the right spices

Of course, you can always buy a bag with a ready-made mixture, but I like to select spices, taking into account the peculiarities of my taste and aromatic preferences. When the right choice even such a simple root vegetable acquires amazing taste. Before putting a bag of spices in the basket, keep in mind that different manufacturers have different formulations. This information can be easily found on the packaging.

Did you know? The following are considered ideal spice combinations for potatoes:

turmeric, ginger, coriander, thyme, laurel, basil, dill;
black pepper, turmeric, savory, paprika, marjoram, dry dill and onion, thyme;
dried onions, carrots, dill, celery, laurel;
parsley, parsnip, a mixture of paprika and ground white pepper.

Also, salt has already been added to many spices, this must be borne in mind so as not to oversalt the potatoes in the future.

Casserole is being prepared from raw potatoes to cheese pretty quickly. On average, it takes me about half an hour the process of preparing the ingredients, and the dish itself is baked from forty minutes to an hour.
Cooking times often depend on what kind of potato I have and how thinly sliced it is. If young, boldly take out the casserole from the oven and taste through 40 minutes If not, sometimes you need to leave the dish for a while to sweat.

Cooking process

So the first thing I will need to do is peel the potatoes, rinse and cut into thin slices, about 2 mm thick. You can also grate it on a coarse grater, this will not change the taste of the dish.
The second step is to grate the selected cheese on a coarse grater. I rub Parmesan finely or not at all.
Put three quarters of the grated cheese (without parmesan) in a bowl, pour in milk, drive in an egg and lightly beat the resulting mass with a whisk.
I add spices there, including salt and pepper, and beat again. I put the mixture in the refrigerator.
Important! It is also worth mentioning about garlic. It's easier to add ground dried garlic to the rest of the spices, but if you have fresh, you need to peel it, cut one clove into halves and rub the pan with them. Remove the garlic from the pan. This will give the potatoes a special natural flavor.
Pour a spoonful of oil into a well-heated frying pan and spread the potatoes. I spread the slices overlap, and if rubbed on a grater, evenly distribute and lightly fry.
I put the fried potatoes in a baking dish or leave them in a frying pan if they can be sent to the oven instead of a baking dish. In principle, any frying pan can be used this way as long as it does not have flammable plastic or rubber parts.
Pour the cheese mixture over the potatoes.
I send the future casserole to an oven preheated to 180 °, having previously covered the form with foil so that the crust does not burn on top.
I leave it to bake for at least 30 minutes, then take it out, remove the foil and fill the casserole with the remaining cheese, and sprinkle it with Parmesan on top and send it back to the oven for 10-20 minutes without foil.
Did you know? It was at this time that a beautiful golden brown... I let the casserole bake well and then brown the crust. If you do not cover the dish with foil, it can burn very hot on top.
Before serving, the casserole should be cut into portions and sprinkled with fresh herbs deliciously. You can also serve sour cream instead of sauce.

Best served casserole hot, may with vegetable salads or pickles.
