Truffled Mushroom and Potato Gratin

[robair9911]

looks like scalloped potatoes? are they different?

[xDELICIOUSxBACONx]

@robair9911 lol, yes. look up a scalloped potato recipe before you ask a question like this.

[heheitslyh]

Hmm can i replace the sottocenere cheese with other cheeses??

[niceworkmicrosoft]

@foodwishes If I make this for Thanksgiving, will it completely floor everyone? <3

[niceworkmicrosoft]

If you're wondering where to get this cheese, Amazon has it

[SilentScreams900]

yum!!!! :)

[amanoandin]

1:05 lol that slicer almost took my mom's fingers xD

[chrysillo]

looks epic

[blugtar87]

where can i get that cheese?

[niceworkmicrosoft]

@blugtar87 Amazon has it!

[liltwinshedevil]

orgasm

[startatts]

Could I use truffle oil and a good cheese to get a similar flavor? I can't find that cheese? I live in central BFE Texas... not cheese shops here... or maybe order it? Looks amazing!

[CT2507]

u sure u cant use skimmed milk? ...and a different cheese?

i don't like potatoes that much. how bout rice?

and the mushrooms scare me. can i use lobster? u said one of the mushrooms looked like a lobster!

thx...all kinds of help is appreciated and much needed!

[synchrohobbit]

@CT2507 hahahahha exactly what I was going to say!

[capnbly7]

you should audition for the next food network star...i would love to watch a tv show with you and your amazing recipes!!

[baosing]

Do you brush or wash your mushrooms?

[zaidoon7]

hi, what do u mean by havy cream ? im in norway and i don't know what kind of cream is that. Thanks for the delicious recipes.

[itzblakreign]

@zaidoon7 If i recall correctly, it's 10% cream

[castorel]

@zaidoon7 heavy cream also known as a double cream or heavy whipping cream contain about 32%-35% fat, is not sour... hope this helps!

[iCandyCatastrophe]

What do you use if you can not find that type of cheese? Is their a cheese substitute?

[theultimateinsult]

"that's ridiculous. It tastes like mushroom." -John

[frizeo]

can you use a different kind of cheese for this dish?

[badjer1785]

that last cheese was buggin me too! ha awesome vid

[growoystermushroom]

very good recipe..!

[maddballa]

can you just use mozzarella for this?

[JoyMac13]

MMmmmm... yummy!

[xqatarx]

Can i replace eggplant instead of mushroom?

[nealz2k]

I made this last night for dinner. I used a mix of gruyere and fontina but it was still AMAZING. Thanks!!!

[bahamasi]

I love that little wooden spoon... it cooked many savory dishes.. .. even I would like to own one :)

[yojomo]

lucky for you most of us cant go out and find that suttocina cheese shit >:(

[kevinqa]

you can find it in your local wholefoods or search sottocenere in yahoo

[yojomo]

Yeah i guess my only option is trying to buy online :/

[otolos]

Great recipe!

Question: Why use both butter and olive oil on the pan?

[TheLeecollection]

Usually, oil is used to increase the temperature you can cook butter, but in this case I'm guessing its for flavor.

[janaswang]

Hey John, do you record your voice to your videos as you're doing them, or do you dub it in later?

[killabean]

He dubs it in later.

[pukapa]

Mmmmh!! Slurp!

[1199joshua]

i always wanted to be a cook

[CookingTiffanyMegan]

i love your videos :) and i stuffed lamb with that cheese before and it was sooooo good!

[snuckles108]

Chef John is my God of food without him I wouldn't be able to impress my girlfriend with an amazing cuisine.

[romerovan21]

@snuckles108 awwww

[RandolfLedesma]

this guy is so cool... and his recipes are not complicated... im gonna cook this

[yamimakaiz]

i'm eating this right now

it tastes soo good ohh yeah! :D

[veryespechal]

and i googled him and hes hot jajaj.,., hes hot he can cook and hes fun PERFECT MAN JAJA

[bigjf3688]

If we don't have a cheese store nearby and we can't find sottocenere, what's another cheese that's good to use?

[superxdee90]

i love you. you have such great humor. hah

[DarkWolf80s]

"These are called Mushroom lobsters. Some People say that it taste like a lobster but that's just ridiculous". LOL!! You are Awesome!

[elaterin]

I think my food wishes is you. chef...

[Atheyst]

i love you

[liancole]

Mmmm......That looks so good.

[strawberryXswirl]

omg that looks so amazing

[tufbugga]

This looks good. Can't get russet potatoes or that cheese where I live, so desirees & whatever similar soft cheese the supermarket has will have to do.

[houchi69]

Chef John is really a steak and potato person, isnt he...

and yes, NO SKIM MILK!!!!

if you want to be healthy, go eat a f***ing salad. xD

and people who says mushroom taste like lobster are those who never had a lobster...xD

[marlaymooink]

It tasted like Mushroom! Lol. I usually don't like mushrooms, but really want to try this.

I wish I could get that cheese! I thought It would be a lot more expensive, and was happy to hear $9.00, but I don't think there are any shops in my area that would have it! I'll keep an eye out.

[tommysandwitch]

you know if you rewind the part where he pours the heavy cream it looks pretty cool :).. just putting it out there

[asianmaddness]

wow that looks amazing...TT

[xoxSandyxox1976]

Yyuuuummmmmm...... Thank you so much chef, I looove this recipe.

:0)

[gorikuri]

Looks great! Another awesome dish! 5 stars.

[tahoe350]

ROFL. NO!..you're making a truffled potato gratin! You can't use skim milk! lolol....

[aznjgirl]

what would be a great sub for that truffle cheese?

[PoppaBahr]

for the truffle-less gratin? Gruyere would be my first readily available guess.

Jarlsberg would be my 2nd.

[xFlyOrDiex]

I made it last night, it was good but I didn't have the truffle cheese. :(. Still it's pretty good

[snuckles108]

Seriosuly, not that hard to make its like making a lasagna I gotta make one of these.

[MontthiewOrbano]

My mom calls it scalloped potatoes hahah, withought the mushrooms and she adds BACON!!!

[vcxlll]

a cold..? D= H1N1 !!!! jk.

[agasuka]

Chef John, get well soon!

[JessicaPersonalChef]

Thanks, looks yummilisciousness!

[snuckles108]

I love this guy this guy is my hero

[somethncool]

me too!

[RebelxProductions]

Ooooh yum. Where can I get a mandolin?

[neonchez]

any kitchen supply store. you might be able to get a really cheap one from walmart but i don't suggest it. you get what you pay for.

[Persiana]

Did you pay $9.18 for that cheese?

Cuz truffles are hella expensive. Chances are, the truffle in that cheese is chinese. Not that there's anything wrong with it, it's just cheaper and considered as low quality truffle.

[CloudMeetsSky]

so many mushrooms MMmmmmmm!

[SmallWorldFilms]

We don't like meat much, so this might serve as a main dish in my household. Looks fantastic!

[ilikethewok]

Fantastic!! Thx for posting.

[moofushu]

Well I can't say enough about about chef John. I really believe he should be on the food network or at least his own show on PBS. People are missing out if they are not getting this channel on youtube.

[raulycalifre]

Loved it as usual! thanx for another great one and get well soon!! ^_^

[skovaretta]

potata

[BreeTube123]

But i wanna use milk . .. . So is it possible to use milk?

[1kperday]

Possible, sure. Won't be nearly as good, though. It can get watery.

And at least use whole milk. Skim milk?!?!? come on, people.

[burntonion05]

If you use milk you might want to use a roux (equal parts butter and flour). Use only as much as you need. Try some nutmeg.

[BreeTube123]

ok thanks.

[demerc]

Just in case Chef John or anyone is wondering SottoCenere means under ash in Italian(stress is on the first syllable of cenere if you care :). Never heard of that cheese before but it's an interesting way of preserving the cheese.

And by the way Chef John, Can I use skim milk instead of cream?????

[Kenshin5101]

he said u can't

[snowblazer12]

expensive stuff

[julianaishere]

I'd eat the whole thing if i made this.

that is why i will just dream of it!

[Syntox]

Can't wait till the temperature cools down enough to try this

[winelover215]

That needs more cheese! :)

[PoPpaBiggz]

is it possible to substitute for a different cheese...

[snowblazer12]

yes but then it wont be called Truffled Mushroom and Potato Gratin

[Barnekkid]

Get well soon, Chef John!

[fadithedog]

really looks tasty but i would like to know if you could make some Arabic foods because first of all i'm half Arabic and sometimes my mum doesn't make the best Arabic foods.nice videos too,keep them coming ^.^

[snowblazer12]

ridiculous D:<

[Ivanafla]

Mmmmm! Looks so luxurious!!! Feel better soon, Chef! ☺

[kotk05]

Hmmm, looks like I'll have to head to the city for this "fancy cheese".

[MychalMonstrousity]

cheese stores are hard to find.

lol (:

but yumm-o :D

[Wivanunu]

At least you have a sexy phlegm voice.....

[GazeRock123]

i keep staring at that stray piece of cheese too! lol

[cryteeek]

Are you to poor to buy real truffles ????

[Wivanunu]

haha :)

[fezan84]

Awesome recipe! First thing I thought when I saw the name of the cheese was Sotomayor, lol. Sotomayor cheese. How bout some of that?

[LIVandLEX]

looks awesome! but i dont think i could get that cheese

[katiemh80]

omg that look so yummy!! Thanks

[7millimauser]

I have got to try this. I do not think I will find the truffle cheese at the local Ma and Pa grocery, but the mushroom thing gave me a good idea.

[HollyTheFireNinja]

Maybe you could just buy soft cheese and throw in some truffles?

[7millimauser]

good idea

[FlipSnipeZ]

I wish there was a cheese store neer me

:(

uploaded on my birthday :D

[SmileyPantsFilms]

[MychalMonstrousity]

[MychalMonstrousity]

[dast7b]

God bless you for all your wonderful recepies and showing them to us!

One question here: Making gratins I always heat the cream before pouring it into the casserole. Is that ok or would you rather recommend using cold or room temperature cream?

[Juniorwazhomeless]

:p love watching food lmao

[myglitterypage]

5th comment!

[GunitForLyfe]

YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!

[Kilithaza]

Any other cheese which might be a little easier to get you could recommend ?

[nealz2k]

Gruyere make a decent substitute

[Kilithaza]

I made that comment 3 months ago..

[cohenandloynds]

Looks brilliant!

[GoatseObama]

Hmm looks fantastic
