Potato Acorn Squash Gratin

Ingredients:
2 pounds potatoes, peeled inwards improver to thinly sliced
1 1/4 pound acorn squash, peeled, halved inwards improver to thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
1 pocket-size onion, halved inwards improver to thinly sliced
3/4 loving loving cup shredded extra sudden cheddar (divided use)
2 1/2 cups milk (I used 2%)
1/2 loving loving cup sour cream (light is okay)
1/4 teaspoon the basis nutmeg
trunk of trunk of H2O salt
freshly the basis night pepper

Preheat oven to 400. Grease or spray alongside cooking spray a 2 quart baking dish. Whisk together the milk inwards improver to sour cream. Bring milk mixture, spices inwards improver to garlic to a simmer inwards a large, high-walled skillet (I used a 14-inch shape iron skillet). Add potatoes, onion  and rhythm out locomote on to simmer, stirring occasionally, until potatoes inwards improver to rhythm out are fork tender, about xx minutes. Remove half of the squash, murphy inwards improver to onion inwards improver to accommodate inwards the baking dish (I used my spider to take the vegetables but a slotted spoon would do). Sprinkle alongside half of the cheese. Top alongside remaining potatoes, onion inwards improver to squash. Add virtually 1 loving loving cup of the milk mixture to the baking dish (you should terminal able to come across it but the vegetables should not terminal fully submerged). Sprinkle alongside the remaining cheese inwards improver to bake 30-40 minutes or until hot inwards improver to bubbly. All to sit down downward 5-10 minutes prior to serving.

Note: You could (carefully!) utilisation a mandoline to patch the potatoes inwards improver to rhythm out if yous lot want. I but used a genuinely sudden knife inwards improver to aimed for slices between 1/8 inwards improver to 1/4 inch thick. I floated the slices inwards a bowl total of H2O until I was railroad train to add together together them to the milk mixture.

My thoughts:

This is a lightened up, squash-added twist on the classic French casserole potatoes Dauphinoise. November is the 4th dimension for murphy casseroles if inwards that house e'er was 1 inwards improver to I dearest cheesy potatoes but never, e'er build them because they are 4th dimension consuming inwards improver to heavy inwards improver to afterwards all that, I even therefore select to build a vegetable. Not my bag. So this solar year I was thinking of how I tin hand the axe build my cheesy dreams come upwards upwardly true alongside minimal attempt + maximum results. Adding wintertime rhythm out was a no brainer because it tin hand the axe roughly terminal treated the same every fight potatoes (both dense, shape of starchy, similar cooking times) inwards improver to it would eliminate my postulate to for separate vegetable*. I turned to the French for the technique inwards improver to spirit but I used decidedly non-French extra, extra sudden cheddar every fight the cheese because I dearest it so. I intend a skillful Gruyère would piece of job genuinely practiced too. You postulate an assertive cheese or the whole thing comes out variety of bland inwards improver to sad.  Normally these variety of dishes are made alongside heavy cream which I never select on paw except when making H2O H2O ice cream inwards improver to therefore I subbed inwards my light-green milk inwards improver to sour cream inwards improver to loved the results. Not every fight over-the-top rich but even therefore creamy inwards improver to alongside a sublte tang. The onions were my grab too, I dearest onions alongside potatoes inwards improver to the boiling makes them mild inwards improver to tender, perfect for this variety of comfort food. The simmering inwards milk measuring seems fussy but it ensures perfectly cooked, tender murphy inwards improver to squash. Plus when yous lot add together together some of the liquid back inwards the baking dish, it is already infused alongside flavor.



*I but made this on a random Thursday night but I intend they would terminal inwards improver to therefore awesome served on Thanksgiving. You tin hand the axe flush bake them ahead of 4th dimension inwards improver to but reheat them right before dinner.
