Butternut Squash and
Potato Gratin
A nice twist to a great traditional side dish.
Makes 6 to 8 servings
cooking spray
1 cup heavy cream
2 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
1 branch fresh rosemary
4 ounces Gruyère cheese
¾ pound butternut squash, peeled
1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Lightly coat a Cuisinart
®
9½-inch
(1¼ quart) Open Oval Baker with cooking
spray. Place the baking tray lined with
aluminum foil on a rack in position A. Preheat
the Cuisinart
™
Brick Oven to 350°F on the
bake setting.
Place the heavy cream, crushed garlic, and
rosemary branch in a small saucepan. Bring
the cream to almost a boil and reduce the
heat to maintain a low simmer. Simmer cream
for about 15 to 20 minutes.
Using the shredding disc in the Cuisinart
®
food processor, shred the Gruyère. Remove
and reserve. Insert the medium (4-mm)
slicing disc. Slice the butternut squash using
medium-hard pressure. Remove and reserve.
Slice the potatoes as well using medium
pressure.
Arrange a layer of the potatoes in concentric
circles in the prepared baking dish followed
by a similar layer of the butternut squash.
Sprinkle with some salt, a pinch of pepper
and some of the Gruyère. Repeat layers of
sliced potatoes and squash with seasonings
and cheese, finishing with a top layer of
neatly arranged butternut squash, seasoned
with the remaining cheese scattered on
top. If there is any salt left over, stir into
the warm cream. Discard the rosemary and
garlic and carefully pour the cream over the
top of the potatoes. Cover the baker tightly
with aluminum foil that has been sprayed
with cooking spray and set on the prepared
baking tray. Bake for 1 to 1½ hours, until
the potatoes are tender when pierced with a
knife. Uncover, and broil until browned and
bubbly, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from
the oven and let stand for 10 minutes before
serving.
