Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for dish
- 1 medium onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 2 pounds assorted wild mushrooms, such as chanterelle, oyster, or black trumpet, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
- 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1 cup finely grated Gruyere cheese (about 4 ounces)
- 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, about 3 1/2 ounces
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch-thick rounds
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped thyme leaves
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 13-by-9-inch baking dish; set aside. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add half of the mushrooms; cook until they are slightly softened. Add remaining mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms have released their juices and most of the liquid has evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes. Add wine; cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid has evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper.
- Combine cheeses in a small bowl; set aside. Cover bottom of prepared dish with potato slices, slightly overlapping them. Sprinkle with half of the thyme and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the cheese and half of the mushroom mixture. Repeat layering process, using all but 2 tablespoons cheese. Arrange remaining potato slices, slightly overlapping, around the edge of the dish. Stir together milk and cream in a bowl, and pour over top. At this point, dish can be refrigerated, covered, up to 1 day; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before baking.
- Cover loosely with foil, and bake until bubbling, about 1 hour. Remove foil, and sprinkle with reserved cheese. Bake until top is golden, 20 to 30 minutes more. Transfer dish to a wire rack; let cool 10 minutes before serving.
Potato-Mushroom Pie
Russell's Friday Dinner
Nutritious and Delicious!
Jidiji - I've made this two or three times, and yes, it does take the full time stated to cook. I was also sceptical about the cooking time before I'd tried it, seeing as the mandoline slices the potato so thinly, however, it really wasn't done until it had the full time. It's absolutely decicious!
Do you have to use Yukon Gold potatoes? Would Russet work just as well?
Does this recipe REALLY take 1 1/2 hrs. total to bake???? If you're slicing the potatoes on a mandoline, what is it exactly that takes 1 1/2 to cook?
alibee, a mandoline is a slicer that is usually used on an angle. It is very sharp and helps to assist in getting more uniform slices versus you slicing by hand. You can find them at BB
What's a mandoline?
This is so delicious ! If the grocery doesn't have exact mushrooms I make it with Portabellos and it's very good. It looks special and your family and friends will love the extra mile you went.
You're right, the Gruyere cheese was accidentally omitted from the ingredients list. The error has been fixed. Thank you!
Potato-Mushroom Pie: I have the original recipe from Martha Stewart Living magazine and it calls for "1 cup finely grated Gruyere cheese (about 4 ounces)". Everything else is the same. I think they just left this out by mistake.
I have the same question about the cheeses. Also, I am taking this dish to my son's Thanksgiving dinner. Because of oven space, can I bake this at home and reheat it just before dinner is served? Please respond ASAP. Many thanks.
I'd also be interested in tring to make this for Thanksgiving dinner, I always wanted an option other than mashed and this one does not seem too difficult. Just wondering what other cheeses would work and is there another cheese that is left out of the origional recipe?
I second that request! I would like to fix this with my Christmas dinner and need to have that answered as well. Someone at Martha's: PLEASE ANSWER THIS!
The ingredients call for only parmesan cheese but the instructions direct to "combine cheeses." I certainly don't want to miss out on any cheese and plan to make this for Thanksgiving this year. Any direction would be appreciated
