Root Vegetable Rosemary Gratin

Ingredients

1 (14.1-oz.) package refrigerated piecrusts

1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary

¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

2 cups (8 oz.) shredded Gruyère cheese, divided

1 pounds Red potatoes – cut into disks

1 pounds sweet potatoes – cut into disks

½ lb carrots – sliced in disks

½ lb turnips – peeled and sliced in disks

1 teaspoon kosher salt

⅔ cup heavy cream

1 garlic clove, minced

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450°. Unroll piecrusts on a lightly floured surface. Sprinkle rosemary, pepper, and ½ cup cheese over 1 piecrust; top with remaining piecrust. Roll into a 13-inch circle. Press on bottom and up sides of a 9-inch springform pan; fold edges under. Chill.

Meanwhile, peel and thinly slice Red potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots and turnips.

Layer one-third each of red potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots and turnips and salt in prepared crust. Sprinkle with ¼ cup cheese. Repeat layers twice, pressing layers down slightly to fit.

Microwave cream and garlic in a 1-cup microwave-safe measuring cup at HIGH 45 seconds; pour over potato layers in pan. Sprinkle with remaining ¾ cup cheese. Cover pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place on a baking sheet.

Bake at 450° for 1 hour. Uncover and bake 25 minutes or until potatoes are done and crust is richly browned. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes. Carefully transfer to a serving plate, and remove sides of pan. If desired, carefully slide gratin off bottom of pan using a long knife or narrow spatula.
