Jeremy's on the Hill Artichoke and Potato Au Gratin

Jeremy's on the Hill

A California Bistro style restaurant, the best in Julian, California
providing fine and gourmet dining.

San Francisco trained Cordon Bleu chef Jeremy Manley was raised in Julian and has been preparing food since the tender age of 10. Yet, his talent at age 23 is far beyond his years. This impressive California style bistro offers impressive local and regional wines paired with the freshest of fish and Nebraska beef from Bisher’s Quality Meats.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 cups grated Gruyere cheese
• 3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, thinly sliced (about 1/8-inch), divided
• Salt, pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 6 cups drained marinated artichoke hearts
• 1 quart heavy cream, divided

Instructions:

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 15-by-11-inch baking dish with butter.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the Parmesan and Gruyere cheeses.
3. Line the bottom of the baking dish with one-half of the sliced potatoes, overlapping the slices and forming rows to make a single layer.
4. Season the potatoes with three-fourths teaspoon salt and one-half teaspoon pepper, or to taste. Sprinkle over the garlic.
5. Add the artichoke hearts, arranging them in a single layer over the potatoes. Scatter one-third of the grated cheese mixture over the artichokes, then drizzle over one-half of the heavy cream.
6. Arrange the remaining potatoes in a single, overlapping layer over the cheese. Season with one-half teaspoon salt and one-fourth teaspoon pepper. Drizzle over the remaining cream, then sprinkle over the remaining cheese.
7. Butter the underside of a piece of foil to keep the cheese from sticking, then cover the baking dish. 
8. Bake the gratin until the potatoes are softened and almost completely cooked, 45 minutes to an hour (a knife should easily pierce the potatoes). 
9. Uncover the gratin and continue to bake until the cheese is melted and is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool slightly on a rack before serving.

Serves 12-16
