5-Minute Individual Potato Gratins

5-Minute Individual Potato Gratins
Recipe courtesy Melissa d'Arabian (The Next Food Network Star)
Serves: 4 to 6 servings

Vegetable spray
2 large russet potatoes, roughly peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 cup grated Swiss cheese
2 green onions, finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup heavy cream

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Spray 8 muffin tins with vegetable spray. Layer potato slices, cheese, and onions into each muffin cup. Season with salt and pepper and top each gratin with 1 or 2 tablespoons of heavy cream. Cover with foil and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, removing the foil halfway through cooking time. Invert gratins onto plate and serve.

I made these tonight to accompany the Rib-Eyes we grilled. It was good, but mine didn't brown as nicely as the ones she made on TV. And next time I would use cheddar instead of swiss if I were serving this with beef, though the swiss would be fine with chicken. John liked it...he ate 3 of them! - and he's not a big fan of creamy, cheesy potatoes.
