Claire Makes Potato Gratin | Bon Appétit

Our potato gratin has layers of starchy, cheesy, buttery goodness. Fire this dish up at any holiday meal and you'll have guests drooling. A layer of Gruyère and Parmesan is the key to a golden brown top crust. When simmering the cream, make sure it’s over gentle heat (if it over-reduces, it will break).

"This recipe feeds 12" I'll be the judge of that

[@ufinc]

I was thinking the same thing this tiny dish could barely feed me alone lmao

[@please.dont.]

I'm kind of glad they distanced from that style of editing

[@theMcWOPPER]

Too fast paced IMO

[@jcolterogden]

Totally, Claire is still great in this, but it's so much more fun to see their personalities and get a little more time to actually do the prep yourself.

[@thisscreensucks]

Omg it's so bad. CAMERA MUST ALWAYS BE MOVING!

[@elyasadnan8174]

BA has seriously evolved from this style 😳 great thinking

[@hector101997]

while i do think this editing style is very smooth and practically great, i think one of the things that make BA incredible is how personal and relatable they feel. Yes, the focus is on the food, but the people are also great and extremely charismatic and so enjoyable to watch just chilling in a professional setting. Plus, their "The Office" styled cuts and the way they strategically include behind-the-scenes types of scenes is also so great, lol.

[@enderesting]

yeah comparing this to their more recent videos (i'm on a BA Binging Spree...), it's really apparently how this feels a lot more generic? I'm really glad they took their current editing style instead of this, it's a lot more fun and like you said, feels a lot more *personal*

[@anthonycaraballo6547]

This is before she became Rogue i see.

[@Kelsphere12]

what does that mean? Kinda new here so could you just catch me up?

[@anthonycaraballo6547]

Kelsphere12 Lol her hair. Rogue is a character from x-men, they have the same white streak.

[@gjaguaribe]

She looks cooler as Rogue!

[@antonandersson3194]

I prefer to think of her as Polagara tho. since she's also obsessed with food.

[@llkjjjss]

Still Uber hot

[@GhostCharacter]

I really like how she blended the shallots into the cream to achieve a smooth texture, rather than straining them out as many similar recipes do. That is a great idea.

[@elusivecreature2376]

I love that the editing changed and the vids are longer.

[@J_LOVES_ME]

I have now watched about 10 videos for scalloped/gratin potatoes and this is hands down the best and the one I will be making - thanks!!

[@AGTsakumis]

A neither huge win with this presenter. Easy to follow, lucid, fun-loving. Absolutely perfect! Kudos!!

[@billyjoeidel2]

[@pinacolaaadas]

When I went to Le Cordon Bleu, they would have us pour a bit of clarified butter into a pan, then layer and pan fry the potatoes until they get somewhat crispy. At that point we would put on the cream mixture and throw it in the oven. You can either finish it with the cheese in the oven or a salamander. Most incredible potatoes ever.

[@tosht2515]

Claire is the best. 👍

Great job. Love short food videos. I always pick the one that's 2 to 3 min. 😊

[@katiaurquiza7757]

The fanning out is such a great idea! Making this is fast and easy! Tried it and it was a hit!

[@KChung32]

@0:56 "this recipe feeds twelve." or .... just me.

[@semonerobinson8903]

My thoughts exactly lol

[@katrina2023]

This reminds me of when my aunt used to cook for us and one of her occasional dishes would be this delicious potato gratin with bits of bacon in it and cheese that made strings whenever you'd scoop out a serving.

[@DCBLITZKREIG]

Thank you for the delish recipe Claire!

[@jeanvincent902]

I very much appreciate how you stood the sliced potato up.

[@YT-xi9ki]

Posted after Thanksgiving, otherwise I would've tried to make it. Doing it for Christmas at least. And I used your stuffing recipe with cran and apple, turned out amazing.

[@Ichisokeno]

how was it?

[@Artzimer1958]

I like the fact that you get to the point. I don’t watch the videos when they talk talk talk.

[@saromin87]

So awesome!!

[@sparkylalalaify]

AHHHH baby claire

[@hassaantauseef5426]

I swear, I wish I was as talented as these chefs so I could work at Bon Appetit test kitchen. It looks like so much fun

[@assu4lt]

You could always go, they would have you peeling potatoes, grounding salt and pepper, washing dishes But you would be there to soak the food wisdom they have to offer Some chefs start that way

[@rebeccawanders9958]

I’ve made this recipe four times in the last year alone. After bringing it to a family holiday, it has been requested at every holiday meal since. HOWEVER - I CANNOT for the life of me get the potatoes to cook through at the indicated time. I’ve tried raising the temp, and I’ve checked my temp with an oven thermometer, but nothing can get these baked in an hour. It always takes a solid 2-2.5 hours. So, to save time, I now parboil the potato slices on the stove until they are semi-soft, drain, let cool, and then arrange in the pan. Also, I do try to get all that yummy sauce on every potato slice, which means arranging-pouring-arranging-pouring as I go. Just dumping the sauce over the top doesn’t allow the sauce to access all the potato surfaces, making the inside a bit bland. But dude. This recipe is so good with my modifications.

[@AngelicViola]

This was helpful thanks!

[@timl308]

Amen! Cooked twice and had the exact same experience...at least 2 hours at 325.

[@The_Vanished]

mmmm, yum yum. Oh, I should have been looking at the dish

[@yellowbeans01]

[@alexanderroot2717]

Amazing to look back at these older recipe videos as a sort of introduction to the personalities we know today. Who knew that Andy would turn out so loveable? Who knew Claire would be an icon?

[@TophMaGoats]

Who knew it would all fall apart

[@ElLeoPlaysMusic]

You can see her hair starting to whiten and transform into the iconic look she has today.

[@ccamen]

I could eat that whole dish in one sitting.

[@JoshKeatonFan]

I actually love the style of these older Bon Appétit because it kind of has this style of "Brunch @ Bobby's" which was a show hosted by Bobby Flay on FOOD Network!

[@asgharnowrouz3853]

Easiest and better looking dish and thanks.

[@lordcaptain73]

Well that’s not creepy at all 🤮

[@Traviiis48]

yall went light on that cheese lmao. I usually make some kind of thick nacho-cheese type dealio, then fill up the dish until the potatoes are almost covered.

[@sebeckley]

Pixode filling the dish with cheese isn't a gratin. It's good, just not the same dish. Gratin means crust and you can get a crust without any topping if you take the foil off for the last bit of cooking. Or add breadcrumbs on top. Or cheese or breadcrumbs and cheese if you're feeling fancy.

[@marquesn77]

I’m making this tonight! Can’t wait!

[@jeramy576]

How'd it turn out? I'm about to making it

[@marquesn77]

Fantastic! It was a complete hit, even my nephew who doesn’t like potatoes ate it and loved it. The only thing I changed was I cooked it at a bit higher temperature than shown in the video - like 375 F and then I cranked it a little to 400 to really get it bubbling . So good!

[@sociallyawkward520]

My family has always just called this "cheesy potatoes." It's good to know the actual name for it.

[@kealynw8825]

Holy crap I’m watching this from before gourmet makes and she looks so different!!! Still amazing tho

[@TheDarwiniser]

For me, gratin is peeled translucently sliced potatoes soaked in cream, salt, white pepper and minced garlic, slow cooked for three hours then blasted on 220 C for browning... no cheese. The result is a soft, layered creamy garlicky perfection, especially with steak. This way of stacking the slices looks great, never thought of it, but i wonder at the texture of the skins breaking the creamy smooth potato.

[@sebeckley]

John Smith That's a true gratin. It only requires a top crust to meet the definition. But people like cheese and it always browns so it gets added a lot.

[@TheAlexanderStephen]

It's interesting looking back to see how the BA project has shifted from content that was mostly based on slick editing to the current run of engaging, personality-driven videos. Now, it's more like hanging out and cooking with your friends. Interesting to think about where this type of media will be in 2025 and later.

[@assu4lt]

Videos with Brad are very fun Even if it's just a small appearance

[@ardiris2715]

That layering bottom to top is a great idea! Where is the ham?

What if you immersed the potato slices in the cream mixture beforehand, and then placed them in the dish?

[@stevenwhitman2758]

So... you have to let the dish cool before you put the cheese on then broil?
