Potatoes au Gratin Recipe by Marianne Williams from Food & Wine.

Prep time: 35 minutes

Cooking time: 1 hour 30 minutes

Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 medium garlic clove, halved
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 3 pounds medium-size red potatoes, unpeeled and cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices
  • 1 medium-size (9 ounce) yellow onion, thinly sliced (about 2 cups) 
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 ¾ cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard

  • 4 ounces Gruyère cheese, shredded (about 1 cup), divided
  • 2 teaspoons thinly sliced fresh chives

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Rub cut sides of garlic all over inside of a 2 1/2- to 3-quart oval broiler-safe baking dish; discard garlic. Rub inside of dish with 1 tablespoon butter; set aside.
  2. Arrange potato and onion slices, standing slightly vertically on edges, in slightly overlapping concentric circles in the baking dish. Tuck smaller potato and onion slices into any gaps in dish to fill. Cover with a damp paper towel until ready to use.
  3. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium until melted and foaming. Add flour; cook, whisking constantly, for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in cream until smooth. Whisk in salt, mustard, and nutmeg. Bring to a simmer over medium, whisking constantly. Remove from heat. Whisk in 3/4 cup of the Cheddar and 1/2 cup of the Gruyère, 1 handful at a time, until melted and smooth. Pour evenly over potato mixture. Sprinkle with remaining 3/4 cup Cheddar and 1/2 cup Gruyère.
  4. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil. Bake in preheated oven until cream is bubbling, cheese has melted, and potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, 1 hour to 1 hour, 15 minutes. Carefully remove foil from baking dish, while keeping dish in oven. Increase oven temperature to broil. Broil gratin until cheese is bubbly and browned in spots, checking occasionally to prevent over-browning, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from oven. Let stand 20 minutes. Sprinkle with chives and serve.

Snowman Chocolate Bark Recipe from Skinnytaste.

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: N/A

Servings: 9 servings

Ingredients

  • 9 ounces sugar free chocolate chips, I used Lily’s
  • 27 mini marshmallows
  • 1 teaspoon White Nonpareils Sprinkles
  • Pretzel sticks cut into 1/2 inch pieces, for the arms (about 1 oz total)
  • Edible ink markers, orange and black

Directions

  1. Line a small 9 x 13-inch sheet pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Using the edible markers, make a snowman face on 9 small marshmallows. Plan where you will be placing the snowman so they will be easy to cut equally later.
  3. Have your pretzels cut and ready because once the chocolate hardens they won’t stick.
  4. Pour the chocolate into a medium microwave-safe bowl. Melt the chocolate in the microwave, stirring the chocolate every 30 seconds to help avoid seizing.
  5. Once melted and smooth, set aside. This took me about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, but will vary with every microwave. When you’re ready, pour chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading with a rubber spatula into a smooth layer almost to the edge.
  6. Quickly add the marshmallows to create your snowmen, then add the pretzel arms and lastly add the sprinkles, for snow.
  7. Allow the bark to set completely in the refrigerator, about 30 minutes. Once hardened, break into 9 pieces about 1 ounce each.
