Kohlrabi and Potato Manchego Gratin

Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 rosemary sprig
  • 4 cups kohlrabi, peeled and thinly sliced (with a mandolin or by hand)
  • 4 cups Russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (with a mandolin or by hand)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cups shredded manchego
  • unsalted butter

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease a 9X13 baking dish with the butter.
  • Place the cream, garlic and rosemary into a small saucepan. Heat on low for 15 minutes. Take a few spoonfuls of the cream and place it on the bottom of the baking dish.
  • Place the sliced kohlrabi and potatoes into a large bowl. Pour the cream over the potatoes. Stir well to coat.
  • Remove the kohlrabi and potatoes from the cream and lay in overlapping layers until the bottom of the dish is covered. Sprinkle with salt and then with a handful of cheese. Continue this process until all the vegetables are used and 1/2 cup of manchego remains.
  • Using your hands press down on the gratin to compress the layers. Pour 1/2 the cream over the gratin. Press down once more and pour the remaining cream onto the gratin. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup Manchego.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 1 hour. Lightly cover the gratin with foil if the top is browning too quickly. Remove from the oven and serve warm.
