Potatoes au Gratin

The easiest recipe and the one I’ve been making on a constant rotation for years! Make sure the potatoes are really nice and tender after the first portion of the baking (can take up to an hour to bake them until tender so don’t worry) then once you add the cheese they will continue to cook and the top will get gloriously browned and bubbly. These are so wonderful, even along side something like braised short ribs or roasted chicken.

RECIPE:
2.5lb of Russet or Idaho Potatoes, sliced really thin
2 cups of Heavy Cream
2 Cloves of Garlic, smashed and peeled
Sprig of Sage
Pinch of Nutmeg
Plenty of Salt and Pepper
1/2 cup of Parmesan Cheese
8oz of Freshly Grated White Sharp Cheddar, Gruyere, Swiss or a combination of the 3

Potato and Hot Dog Frittata – A Must Try!

Potatoes, eggs & hot dogs , an Italian childhood classic that fed generations and still hits every time. Sure, it’s not fancy… but ask anyone who grew up on this and they’ll pick it over filet mignon any day. Bonus points if you eat it in a sandwich by the beach like a true Italian (I swear it tastes even better at the beach) it’s such a humble thing but I think many many cultures relate to how special dishes like these really are for the soul! Approx recipe and instructions below! 3 medium size russets, peeled and thinly sliced 4 to 6 hot dogs (all beef for me) slices up 6 eggs Plenty of grated parm Plenty of S&P Olive oil I like cooking the potatoes in some olive oil over medium heat until they are about half way cooked (season them with a pinch of salt and pepper) then once there, add the hot dogs and continue cooking until the potatoes are fully cooked, add in the whisked egg and cheese mixture and cook until golden and set on the bottom, I use a fish spatula to kind of “slice it” into 1/4 pieces so it’s easier to flip but honestly this DOES NOT have to be perfect, it’s rustic home food. Cook until fully set then sprinkle more parm and enjoy every single bite!
