Cooking a delicious potato casserole with cheese - step-by-step recipe with photos

Greetings, my dear cooks. I saw that almost all my friends associate casserole with cottage cheese pie. Maybe that’s why the cottage cheese casseroles they were fed in kindergarten sunk into their souls. But absolutely, this dish is very different. It can be meat, pasta, mushroom, fish, potato, etc. This article is devoted to the extreme option. Or more precisely, how to cook potato casserole with cheese.

Little history

It is unclear who came up with the idea of creating multi-component casseroles. But apparently, this was not a courtier satiated with a unique dish, but a thrifty housewife. Perhaps she simply did not have enough goods to make individual dishes. So she mixed everything that was left from the supplies and sent the dish into the oven.

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

The casserole that I will tell you about now is also called gratin Dauphinois. This is a regional dish from Dauphine, a historical region in southeastern France. The unique version is a casserole made from raw potatoes, which are cut into thin slices, and cream. But this dish is prepared without cheese.

Finely chopped garlic is added to the casserole, and then butter. In the dish, the potatoes are laid in overlapping layers, like fish scales. Afterwards everything is filled with cream. And later the dish is baked in the oven until soft and beautiful golden brown.

So, if you want to create a traditional Gratin Dauphinois, then do not add cheese. The result is a completely vegetarian dish. By the way, it is being prepared quite quickly. And you won’t need a lot of time to prepare the goods.

Individual cooking

I prefer the option with cheese. So, sorry, dear inhabitants of Dauphiné, this is where our paths diverge

I add hard or Adyghe cheese, depending on what is in the refrigerator. In general, more often I try to take specifically Adyghe. Compared to other hard cheeses, its calorie content is slightly lower.

Or I cook it with mushrooms and add minced meat. But I adhere to the 1st rule - you need to cook from raw potatoes. After almost all the years of treating my husband to this dish, I realized that this recipe works at any time.

The main thing you need to do is chop the potatoes using a sharp knife into similar slices. If you have a grater like Berner and you have adapted to it, go ahead and use it. The size of the dish is 20x20 cm and this amount of ingredients is enough for 6 people.

If your oven is not baking evenly, don't panic. Cover the dish with foil, and 10 minutes before the end of cooking, remove it. This way the crust will be golden brown, and everything will be well baked inside.

Now according to the amount of milk. If you have a pan with low sides, it is better to reduce the quantity. When heated, the milk boils and tends to escape. Therefore, you will have to rip out the oven afterwards. In general, you will have to experiment with milk until you understand how much you need.

Yes, and don’t rush to take the casserole right out of the oven. While it is burning, it is not very moist. Leave in the oven for 10-15 minutes, there it will set a little. Then the crust will be glossy and crispy when cut. Alternatively, you can create this in the evening and throw it in the oven in the morning. In the morning, cut it and heat it in the microwave. Real jam.

Potato casserole made from raw grated potatoes with cheese and garlic

If you have ever prepared casseroles, you understand that, usually, they require very simple and understandable products. This is one of those dishes that you can take and prepare without having to go to the store to get something missing. Therefore, it will be especially vital when you want something tasty, but don’t want to stand at the stove for a long time.

6-7 medium-sized potatoes;
2 testicles;
4 tablespoons of mayonnaise;
2 cloves of garlic;
100 g cheese;
one tablespoon of dried dill;
salt and pepper to taste.

In order to “lighten” the dish a little, you can replace the mayonnaise with sour cream or natural yogurt without additives. Also, depending on your preferences, you can add a little more or, on the contrary, less garlic.

The usual recipe for potato casserole with cheese and eggs in the oven (without meat)

1. Grate the cheese on a small grater. We divide it into two parts. We combine one of them with one egg and herbs (in my case it’s dried dill).

Let's put this mass aside for now. We will cover the surface of the casserole with it so that it browns and becomes a beautiful golden color.

Mix the second part with the rest of the egg, grated garlic and mayonnaise.

2. Peel the potatoes, wash them and grate them on a large grater.

We prepare the potatoes at the last possible moment so that they do not have time to darken.

And add it to the cheese-mayonnaise mixture, adding salt and pepper to your own taste. Keep in mind that cheese can be quite salty at times, so depending on your taste, adjust the amount of salt so as not to overdo it. Otherwise the dish will be spoiled.

3. First put the potato mixture in the baking dish, then cover it with the cheese mixture. Place everything in the oven for 40 minutes. The oven must be preheated to 180 degrees in advance. The time may differ slightly from mine, so watch the dish during the cooking process so that it does not burn.

A warm base emerges under a golden brown crust. This simple version without entrails is usually very popular with children. But, of course, you can add other ingredients to the casserole if you wish. Try and choose the one you like best.

Cut into pieces like a pie and serve. In particular, this dish goes well with sour cream.
