POTATOES AU GRATIN “FRENCH CONNECTION”

POTATOES AU GRATIN “FRENCH CONNECTION” 


 

  • 2 1/2 LBS OF RED POTATOES 
  • 1 ONION 
  • 3 TBSP PLANT-BASED BUTTER 
  • 1 TSP DRY MUSTARD 
  • 2 CUPS PLANT MILK 
  • 1 CUP WATER 
  • 1/4 CUP OLIVE OIL  
  • 4.5 OZ MISHA’S FRENCH CONNECTION CHEESE
  • 1/2 TBSP TRUFFLE SALT 
  • 1/4 TSP SEA SALT  
  • PEPPER TO TASTE 

DIRECTIONS: 

Step 1

Finely chop/slice the onion. Using a mandolin (easiest), cut potatoes into thin slices and place a small amount of onion (maybe 1/2 teaspoon or so) in between each of the slices of potatoes stacking horizontally around the baking dish until the dish is full or potatoes are finished. 

Step 2

Preheat oven to 400 F. 

Step 3

Place water, milk, butter, oil, mustard, French Connection Cheese, and salts in a pot and heat to a simmer (about 3-5 minutes). Stir continuously until smooth. 

Step 4

Pour this mixture over the potatoes. (Don’t use a baking dish that is too tall, we want the potatoes to be completely covered in the mixture as it will evaporate some in the oven). 

Step 5

Use black pepper on top of the dish then place in hot oven for 90 minutes.  Serve.
