Made this last night for dinner. I feel that if you salt the water in which you cook the veggies they will not taste bland. My family enjoyed it.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus more for dish
- 1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes (about 6 medium), peeled and sliced 1/2 inch thick
- Salt and pepper
- 1 small head cauliflower (about 2 pounds), sliced 1/2 inch thick
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar (6 ounces)
- 1/3 cup chicken broth
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Butter a 2-quart baking dish. In a large pot, cover potatoes with cold salted water by 2 inches.
- Bring to a boil, then add cauliflower and cook at a rapid simmer until potatoes are just cooked through and cauliflower is crisp-tender, about 10 minutes.
- Drain in a colander and let sit 5 minutes.
- Place half the potatoes and cauliflower in dish, sprinkle with half the thyme and cheddar, and season with pepper.
- Repeat to make a second layer.
- Add broth and dot top with butter.
- Bake until cheese is deep golden and bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes.
