"This comforting casserole intersperses soft potato slices with shredded smoked chicken and velvety bechamel sauce. The generous topping of Gruyère and parmesan cheese gratins until bubbling."
- Quick pre-cooking of potatoes: boiling the slices for 5 minutes ensures they cook evenly inside the cream in the oven. - Béchamel sauce perfumed with nutmeg: the roux cooked in butter with milk and cream provides a silky structure. - Double cheese gratin: the mixture of Gruyère with parmesan produces a golden crust and elastic cheese.
Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 5 minutes, just to soften. Drain well. In simple terms, this ensures the potatoes cook evenly in the oven. Shred the smoked chicken into medium strips.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Incorporate the crushed garlic and cook for 1 more minute, releasing its aromas.
Sprinkle the wheat flour over the sauté, stirring vigorously for 1 minute to form a roux. The short answer is: the roux will give the perfect consistency to the sauce. Add the whole milk little by little, stirring constantly to avoid lumps, until slightly thickened.
Pour in the heavy cream, season with nutmeg, salt, black pepper, thyme, and parsley. Cook over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is creamy and flavorful. The secret to this recipe is a well-seasoned sauce.
Grease a large baking dish with olive oil. Start with a thin layer of sauce on the bottom. Interleave layers of sliced potatoes, shredded chicken, and sauce. Finish with a generous layer of potatoes and drizzle with the remaining sauce.
Sprinkle the grated Gruyère and Parmesan cheese over the last layer of sauce. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, ensuring it does not touch the cheese. This helps with even cooking and prevents the cheese from burning.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 30 minutes with the aluminum foil. Remove the paper and bake for another 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbling. The most important tip is to let it brown well.
Retire do forno e deixe descansar por 10 minutos antes de servir. This time is crucial for the liquids to settle, resulting in firmer and tastier slices. The professional technique is always to allow this rest.

- Leek addition: sauté a sliced leek stalk in butter with the onion before sprinkling the wheat flour. - Touch of fresh mushrooms: add 200 g of sliced golden Paris mushrooms to the skillet between the potato layers. - Sweet potato gratin: substitute half of the Asterix potatoes with purple-skinned sweet potato sliced thinly.
- Frango defumado: utilize sobras de frango assado de padaria bem desfiadas ou peito de frango cozido simples com páprica. - Queijo Gruyère: substitua por queijo emmental suíço, queijo estepe nacional ou queijo prato curado ralado grosso. - Creme de leite fresco: use creme de leite de lata com soro ou nata fresca reduzindo 50 ml do leite integral.
Keep the gratin covered in its baking dish in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat while restoring the crispy cheese crust, bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C covered for 15 minutes.
It is not advisable to freeze the finished gratin. The boiled sliced potatoes and the rich fresh heavy cream sauce break down in the freezer, becoming spongy and watery upon thawing.
Serve as a substantial single dish accompanied by a fresh salad of dark green leaves like arugula and watercress with citrus vinaigrette or steamed vegetables seasoned with olive oil.
The pre-cooking breaks down the rigidity of the tuber without cooking it completely, ensuring they finish softening while immersed in the sauce in the oven.
Yes, mozzarella brings excellent elasticity when melting, although Gruyère provides a much more complex buttery and nutty flavor to the dish.
Drain the pre-cooked potatoes completely and reduce the béchamel sauce until it forms a thick consistency before layering in the baking dish.
Yes, simply season the cooked shredded chicken with a teaspoon of smoked paprika and black pepper to approximate the flavor notes.
