Potatoes Au Gratin or Scalloped Potatoes

-

Potatoes Au Gratin also known for its other name scalloped potatoes are really a delicious way to eat your potatoes. So smooth and well seasoned soft potatoes with a cheesy light crunch. and so easy to make. I ate it today for lunch along side a clod broccoli vinagrette salad and lightly seared bacalaou covered in olive oil tossed onions.

Ingredients
Potatoes (peeled and thinly sliced)
seasonings of your choice (I used salt, pepper and chives)
1 cup heavy cream
1 egg
shredded Mozzarella cheese

Get a pyrex and lightly put a bit of olive oil on the bottom, line up your sliced potatoes all on one layer and sprinkle on top of that your seasonings and a little of the cheese. Repeat the same procedure again by lining up your potatoes, seasonings and cheese. Keep repeating the process until you are done.

Separately in a small pot warm up your heavy cream for a few minutes just until it lightly boils. Turn off the fire and Crack your egg inside the pot and mix quickly. Pour this entire mixture over the potatoes. Cover the pyrex with aluminum foil and bake for about 1 hour to 1 hour and a half or until your potatoes are soft.

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. ...
