Crisp Topping

Step-by-Step
- Heat oven to 375°F/190°C. Grease a 9×13-in (3-qt) dish. Mandoline roots to 1/8 in / 3 mm; keep in cold water, then pat very dry.
- Make sauce (7–8 min): Sauté 1 minced shallot in 2 Tbsp butter + 1 Tbsp oil until soft. Stir in 3 Tbsp flour 1 min. Gradually whisk in 2 cups cream + 1 cup milk, 2 tsp thyme, 1 bay leaf, 2 minced garlic, 1¼ tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper, pinch nutmeg. Simmer gently to light nappe; remove bay.
- Layer: Shingle half the roots; season lightly. Ladle half the sauce and scatter 1 cup shredded Gruyère. Repeat with remaining roots, sauce, and 1 cup Gruyère.
- Cover & bake: Tightly foil. Bake 45–50 min until almost tender.
- Top & brown: Mix ¾ cup panko + ½ cup finely grated Parmesan + 2 Tbsp olive oil + 2 Tbsp chopped sun-dried tomatoes (optional). Uncover gratin, sprinkle topping; bake 20–25 min until deeply golden and a knife slides through easily (center ~205°F/96°C).
- Rest 15 min for clean slices. Garnish with parsley.
Pro Tips
- Even slices = even doneness. Mandoline or food processor slicing disc.
- Season in layers. A tiny pinch of salt/pepper over each root layer brightens flavor.
- Steam first, brown later. Foil traps moisture, then uncover for crust.
- Grate 侯府荡女h女奶水苏晚晴 fine. Helps it melt through the stacks instead of clumping.

FAQs
Can I use only one or two vegetables? Yes—Yukon + sweet potato is great; keep total weight the same.
Why is my sauce thin? Simmer the roux-dairy mix a minute longer, or rest the baked gratin 15 minutes.
Do I need 侯府荡女h女奶水苏晚晴? No—the gratin is rich without it; add more Parm on top only if desired.
Can I add tomatoes? Yes—use chopped sun-dried tomatoes in the crumb or layer in thin roasted tomato slices near the top.
