Swedish Potato Gratin - Potatisgratäng
"Posted for ZWT6 for Scandinavian Region. Found on Scandinaviafood.com. They suggest serving with roasted lamb but I think this would be a great addition to any meat honestly. Very simple to prepare."

We made this for dinner last night to along with Recipe #428645 and it was wonderful. I did use heavy whipping cream and 10 medium potatoes and we subbed gouda cheese for the cheddar which was wonderful. Our consistency wasn't runny at all and it was enjoyed by 8 of us. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for ZWT 6. -
These were good, however the cheese was a problem. When I added the foil and then removed, it took half the cheese with it. I think doing the foil prep in reverse would work better. I added some rosemary layered in which was good, but still seemed to be lacking something; sort of plain. Also boiled over in the oven with an awful mess, would suggest putting on a cookie sheet to catch the overflow. After removing the foil with half the cheese added some guyre and cooked about five extra minutes. -

This turned out very good and flavorful, however was very runny. I let it sit for about 15 minutes to thicken but it never did. I might add a little thickener next time to help with this issue. Taking the advice of twissis, I left the cheese off until the last 20-30 minutes and that helped with over browning I think. Overall a great recipe. Made for ZWT #6 :) -
Made a full recipe as written for ZWT6 because my DH (like all Icelanders) reveres the potato & views it as a required part of ea meal. The use of onion here make it even more appealing for us. This is an easy-fix + ingredient friendly dish. I did up the amt of salt & pepper as allowed. The cooking time at such a high temp worried me a bit & I did have to tent w/foil at 25 min when the surface seemed to char a bit, but the overall cooking time was spot-on. I suggest a rest period b4 serving to allow for optimal consistency. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us. I esp like having alternatives to the Icelandic boiled potato.
