Root Vegetable Gratin is a casserole-style dish made by layering thinly sliced root vegetables in a baking dish and cooking them in a creamy sauce with melted cheese. Ina Garten’s recipe enhances the natural sweetness of the vegetables with savory flavors and a golden, bubbly topping.

Ingredients

  • Sweet potatoes – 2 large, peeled and thinly sliced
  • Yukon Gold potatoes – 2 large, peeled and thinly sliced
  • Parsnips – 2, peeled and thinly sliced
  • Turnips – 2, peeled and thinly sliced
  • Heavy cream – 2 cups
  • Whole milk – 1 cup
  • Garlic – 2 cloves, minced
  • Gruyère cheese – 1 ½ cups, grated
  • Parmesan cheese – ½ cup, grated
  • Kosher salt – 1 teaspoon (or to taste)
  • Freshly ground black pepper – ½ teaspoon
  • Fresh thyme – 2 teaspoons, chopped

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.

Prepare the Cream Mixture

  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, minced garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat.

Assemble the Gratin

  • Arrange a layer of sweet potatoes in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Follow with a layer of Yukon Gold potatoes, then parsnips, and turnips.
  • Sprinkle each layer lightly with Gruyère cheese as you assemble. Repeat the layers until all vegetables are used.

Add the Cream Mixture

  • Pour the warm cream mixture evenly over the layered vegetables, ensuring it seeps through to the bottom.

Add the Topping

  • Sprinkle the top of the gratin with the remaining Gruyère and Parmesan cheese.

Bake the Gratin

  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.

Rest and Serve

  • Let the gratin rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set. Serve warm.
