I got to ask but where did you learn that simple yet genius red potato gratin technique? Absolutely simply genius... Imagine doing that technique in 2" pans where u use the bottom of a 2" to smash the reds all in one shot...perhaps pour a little whipping cream before and after the cheese (didn’t see you season them I’m sure you did though) to put a little moisture in them...but the technique is money...I'm stealing this potato idea!

@dapgachef @dapgachef I thought I'd made it up but I've since seen a few people do something similar. Smashing all at once would take quite a bit of pressure but I imagine it's possible if you're stronger than me. :D I don't think I added salt to mine this time because I used quite a bit of bacon grease (which is salty) and a salty cheese also. I may have had to adjust salt at the end but I don't remember. Cream is a great idea also. Maybe a garlic or rosemary infused cream... hmmmm....

Looks delicious.

NIcely done!!!

I do Leg of Lamb by crusting the Lamb with rosemary, kosher salt and mint, and then coat it with Mint Jelly. Makes an awesome crust on the lamb!!

@1kperday it was great, we used apricots from our garden for the glaze! it took longer to cook than expected tho. we had a 3 lb leg (minus the shank) and the butcher figured it would take about 50 mins at 400. it ended up taking about 75 mins, but was worth the extra 25 mins :). thanks again!
