Almost as a continuation of our previous Epic Adventure Mealtime episode (where we boldly attempted croquettes), Kids, Sky and I this time joined forces to cook a dinner that involves potatoes, onions and more potatoes. :D
After many hours of surfing Pinterest, I decided our next culinary experiment would be: Potato Gratin~!
Ingredients:
- 4 russet potatoes, sliced into 1/4 inch slices
- 1 onion, sliced into rings
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
How-to:
- Step 1: Slice potatoes into slices.
- Step 2: Cut onions into rings.
- Step 3: Line baking pan with butter.
- Step 4: Arrange potatoes and onion slices in baking dish. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Step 5: Melt butter in a saucepan.
- Step 6: Add all-purpose flour.
- Step 7: Add milk. Mix butter, flour and milk batter until thick and creamy.
- Step 8: Pour batter over potatoes.
- Step 9: Scatter shredded cheese and breadcrumbs over the mixture.
- Step 10: Cover the baking pan with tin foil.
- Step 11: Bake for approx 1 hour.
- Step 12: Dig in~! :D

Many thanks to Sky for lending her kitchen~!
Huge sorry to Sky & Kids for making you guys wait so long for dinner ... cooking time took longer than I thought, so we ended up waiting for more than an hour for the gratin to be ready. ^^;;
And since it was my first attempt, I added too little salt so the gratin ended up a bit bland ... orz So I guess my Masterchef debut won't be anytime soon~ :3 *gets pushed off a cliff*
Also, to accompany the gratin as part of the dinner, I contributed my favourite Japanese-style hamburgers (plus salad)~ :D
They're one of my favourite dishes to make, and kept me fed and alive while I was solo-ing during my studies in Brisbane ... *w*
Burgers and salad progress pics~
ハンバーガできた！(≧▽≦)
