Potato Gratin with Rosemary Crust



Ingredients:

  • 1 Refrigerated Pie Crust
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Rosemary, Finely chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon Pepper, ground
  • 2 cups Gruyere Cheese, shredded
  • 1 ½ pounds Gold Potatoes
  • 1 ½ pounds Sweet Potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • cup Heavy cream
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • Rosemary Sprigs, garnish

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 450°. Unroll piecrusts on a lightly floured surface. Sprinkle rosemary, pepper, and 1/2 cup cheese over 1 piecrust; top with remaining piecrust. Roll into a 13-inch circle. Press on bottom and up sides of a 9-inch springform pan; fold edges under. Chill.
2. Meanwhile, peel and thinly slice Yukon gold and sweet potatoes.
3. Layer one-third each of Yukon gold potatoes, sweet potatoes, and salt in prepared crust. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese. Repeat layers twice, pressing layers down slightly to fit.
4. Microwave cream and garlic in a 1-cup microwave-safe measuring cup at HIGH 45 seconds; pour over potato layers in pan. Sprinkle with remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Cover pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place on a baking sheet.
5. Bake at 450° for 1 hour. Uncover and bake 25 minutes or until potatoes are done and crust is richly browned. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes. Carefully transfer to a serving plate, and remove sides of pan. If desired, carefully slide gratin off bottom of pan using a long knife or narrow spatula. Garnish, if desired.
