Alsatian Potato Casserole

From

February/March 2005

Alsatian Potato Casserole

This Alsatian Potato Casserole recipe has a decidedly French flavor. With no cream and little butter, it is relatively light; bacon and onions provide a good deal of flavor. We cooked the onions in the rendered bacon fat to further the smoky meat’s flavor, and used chicken broth to moisten the casserole as it baked to prevent it from tasting too heavy. For the best flavor, we found it worthwhile to track down good-quality imported Gruyère cheese. Nutty tasting and smooth melting, it was the perfect choice for this Alsatian Potato Casserole recipe.

Dear Home Cook,

If I were new to CooksCountry.com, I might think, "It's easy to get free recipes on the Internet. What makes your recipes different?" Well, unlike recipes from blogs, message boards, and other recipe sites, our recipes are exhaustively tested by our team of full-time test cooks until they offer consistently great results. That means fried chicken with a crunchy coating and moist meat, a low-fat recipe makeover for macaroni and cheese that’s as creamy and cheesy as the full-fat version, and fork-tender slow cooker pot roast.

We're obsessive in our quest to find and foolproof the best of American home cooking, from fuss-free weeknight dinners, to updated, simplified versions of regional specialties, to slow cooker and make ahead meals. CooksCountry.com is the only place you can find every foolproof recipe published in Cook’s Country magazine since 2005, plus objective ratings and test results from both Cook’s Country and Cook’s Illustrated for cookware and supermarket ingredients.

Let me make a simple, no-nonsense offer. Try out our website FREE for a 14-Day, No-Hassle Trial Offer. I’m pretty confident that CooksCountry.com will quickly become an invaluable resource for everything from a quick Tuesday supper to your next get-together with family and friends.

Thanks for your consideration,

Christopher Kimball
