Potato Gratin with Porcini and Soy
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons porcini mushroom powder (see Cook's Note)
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 3 cloves garlic
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1/4 cup creme fraiche
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, thinly sliced on a mandoline (or with a very sharp knife)
- 2 cups grated Gruyere cheese
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Stir together the soy sauce and mushroom powder in a small bowl and set aside.
- Add the cream, garlic and thyme sprigs to a medium pot and set over medium-high heat.
- Bring to a simmer, cover and remove from the heat.
- Let stand 15 to 30 minutes.
- Remove the garlic and thyme from the cream, then whisk in the creme fraiche, nutmeg and soy-mushroom mixture until well incorporated; season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble the gratin by putting half of the potatoes in a single overlapping layer in the bottom of a 2-quart baking dish.
- Coat with half of the cream mixture and sprinkle on 1 cup of the Gruyere.
- Repeat with the remaining potato slices, cream mixture and 1 cup Gruyere.
- Cover with foil and transfer the dish to a baking sheet.
- Bake until the potatoes are easily pierced with a knife, about 1 hour.
- Remove the foil and continue to bake until the top is golden brown and bubbling, 30 minutes.
- Let sit 30 minutes before serving.
