Boulangère Potatoes Recipe by Gordon Ramsay from The F Word

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Servings 8 people

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking dish
  • Mandoline slicer (optional for even slices)
  • Knife
  • Chopping board

Ingredients
  

  • Thinly sliced potatoes
  • Sliced onions
  • Chicken or vegetable stock
  • Fresh thyme
  • Salt and pepper
  • Butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (392 degrees in case you have a digital oven)
  • Bring the chicken stock into a boil and add thyme, rosemary, and crushed garlic cloves. Simmer a couple of minutes and strain (remember, keep the chicken stock, not the herbs). Set aside.
  • Add olive oil into a hot heavy pan and saute the onions and finely chopped garlic until softened and lightly colored.
  • Coat within a casserole dish or oven safe pan and layer the onions and then the potatoes. Continue alternating potatoes and onions until finished. Don’t forget to season each layer with salt & pepper as you go.
  • Pour the chicken stock from earlier above the potato mixture until it’s about 2/3rds full. Press documented on the mixture to help you the potatoes absorb all the stock as you possibly can. Drizzle a little organic olive oil on top.
  • Bake within the oven for an estimated 20 – 25 minutes or until soft and golden number one.
