Briazz Potato Stackzz
INGREDIENTS:
6 lbs. Idaho® Potatoes, washed, peeled
1 - 2 lbs. Leeks, cleaned, thinly sliced
2 oz. Butter
2 1/8 qt. Mustard Sauce
1 1/2 lbs. White Cheddar cheese, shredded
Mustard Sauce:
2 qt. Medium white or bechamel sauce
4 oz. Whole grain mustard
2 oz. Vegetable base
1 - 2 Tbsp. Salt
DIRECTIONS:
Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
Butter a 2” deep hotel pan (12”x 20”). Slice potatoes
1/8” - 1/4” thick. Place in large pot, cover with cold
water, bring to boil and simmer until barely tender, 7 - 10 minutes.
Alternately, blanch by steaming until barely tender. Air-cool potatoes
spread out on sheet pan, 10 - 15 minutes. Meanwhile, sweat leeks
in butter until softened, about 7 minutes. Have mustard sauce ready.
To assemble gratin, layer 1/4 of potatoes, 1/4 of sauce, 1/4 of
leeks, 1/4 of cheese in hotel pan. Repeat this process to create
4 layers. Cover tightly with foil. Bake for 35 - 45 minutes to an
internal temperature of 175°F. Remove cover; bake 15 minutes
until golden brown. Hold at 200°F for up to one hour, or chill
quickly and slice to heat later.

Idaho Potato Cabbage Torte
Approximate nutritional analysis per serving: 259 calories, 12
g fat, 28 mg cholesterol, 1575 mg sodium, 5 g protein, 36 g carbohydrates
INGREDIENTS:
Kosher salt for salting water
6 outer leaves of Savoy cabbage
3 medium (approximately 6 ? 8 ounces each) Idaho Potatoes, washed
and peeled
1 large Spanish onion, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons butter
2 1/2 cups chicken stock
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
2 teaspoons Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper, freshly ground
For Mushrooms:
1 tablespoon butter
6 ounces wild mushrooms, cleaned, stems discarded, sliced
1/4 cup white wine
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon salt
pinch of ground white pepper
DIRECTIONS:
Heat a 5-quart stockpot of water over high heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons
of Kosher salt, cover and bring water to a boil. While waiting for
water to boil, prepare an ice water bath in a large mixing bowl
or the sink.
Place the cabbage leaves into the boiling salted water; boil 12
minutes or until cabbage is tender. Remove leaves from water and
place into the ice bath for 4 minutes. Remove cabbage from bath
and pat leaves dry with a paper towel. Remove thick rib from the
center of each cabbage leaf, being careful not to completely cut
the leaves in half; set cabbage aside.
Slice potatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place slices into a buttered
10 X 12 baking dish. Cover potatoes with as little chicken stock
as needed to cover (reserve the rest) and set aside. Preheat oven
to 350° F.
In a medium non-stick saute pan, over medium heat, cook butter and
sliced onions; add thyme and saute 20 minutes or until onions are
tender. Remove pan from heat and season with 2 teaspoons of Kosher
salt and white pepper. Place onion mixture in an even layer over
the sliced potatoes in the chicken stock. Cover dish with foil and
bake 20 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
While potato-onion mixture is baking, prepare the wild mushrooms:
in a medium non-stick saute pan, melt the butter over low heat.
Add the sliced wild mushrooms and cook for about 20 minutes over
low heat until browned. Add white wine, stir and cook until liquid
has evaporated and mixture is dry. Add fresh thyme, salt and pepper.
Remove from heat and allow to cool.
To assemble torte, lay a cooked cabbage leaf on a flat counter or
cutting board. Place a layer of the potato and onion mixture in
the center of the cabbage leaf (do not spread mixture all the way
to the edges of the leaf). Top with 1/6th of the wild mushrooms.
Repeat the process 5 more times, starting with potato, then wild
mushrooms, creating alternating layers. Once the layers are complete,
pull the sides of the cabbage leaf up and over the top as much as
possible. Lay another leaf on top and use remaining leaves to completely
enclose the torte.
Lay a large piece of plastic wrap on a flat surface. Place potato
and cabbage torte in the center of the plastic wrap. Take edges
of the plastic and wrap around the torte, twisting the edges of
the wrap. Tie wrap closed with kitchen string and set aside.
Heat reserved chicken stock in a 5-quart stockpot over medium heat.
Place plastic-wrapped torte in heated chicken stock; poach for 5
minutes. Remove from stockpot and remove plastic, being careful
to avoid steam when unwrapping the torte. Serve torte immediately.
