Market Street Au Gratin Potatoes

This post may contain affiliate links. Read our disclosure policy.

Here is the promised potato dish, perfect for your Christmas dinner. Market Street, a delicious seafood restaurant in the Salt Lake Valley, is known for its amazing clam chowder, which I’ve shared before. While I’ve never tasted their au gratin potatoes at the restaurant, I tried this recipe and absolutely loved it—these Market Street Au Gratin Potatoes are a must-try!

I discovered this recipe on What’s Cookin’? and was pleasantly surprised by its simplicity and rich flavor. With only three ingredients, it’s incredibly easy to make, but you’ll need to splurge a bit on smoked Gouda cheese. The extra expense is worth it for a special occasion like Christmas. The result is a creamy, delicious potato dish with a hint of smokiness from the Gouda, making it a standout addition to your festive meal.

Follow these simple steps to create a delicious and creamy au gratin potato dish that’s perfect for your holiday dinner:

Prepare the Potatoes: Start by slicing the potatoes thinly. Important: Do not rinse the sliced potatoes!

Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, stir the sliced potatoes with whipping cream, salt, pepper, and shredded smoked Gouda cheese. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Layer the Potatoes: Spread the potato mixture evenly in a 9″x13″ baking dish, making sure the layer is no more than 1 inch thick for even cooking.

Bake the Potatoes: Cover the baking dish with foil and place it in the oven. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for one hour, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.

Add a Finishing Touch: Once baked, remove the foil and let the dish stand for a few minutes. For a festive touch, sprinkle the potatoes with dried parsley before serving.

Can I use a different type of cheese?
Absolutely! While smoked Gouda adds a deliciously unique flavor, you can experiment with other cheeses like cheddar cheese, or even Gruyère or Swiss. Each cheese will provide a different, delightful twist to the dish.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dish a day in advance. Assemble the potatoes with the cream and cheese, cover it tightly, and store it in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to bake, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking.

How do I prevent the potatoes from turning brown before cooking?
To prevent the sliced potatoes from browning, you can submerge them in cold water until you’re ready to mix them with the cream and cheese. Just remember to drain them well before combining.

Can I add other ingredients to this dish?
Certainly! Feel free to add ingredients like cooked bacon, ham, or sautéed onions for extra flavor. Herbs like thyme or rosemary can also add a nice touch.

How do I know when the potatoes are fully cooked?
The potatoes are done when they are tender and easily pierced with a fork, and the top is golden and bubbly. If the top starts to brown too quickly, you can cover the dish with foil for the remaining baking time.

Can I use a different type of potato?
Yes, you can use different varieties of potatoes. Russet potatoes are a good choice, but Yukon Gold potatoes add a creamy texture. Just make sure to slice them thinly for even cooking.

What if I don’t have a 9″x13″ baking dish?
If you don’t have a 9″x13″ baking dish, you can use any similar-sized baking dish or casserole. Just ensure the layer of potatoes is no more than 1 inch thick for even baking.

How do I reheat this dish without drying it out?
To reheat the au gratin potatoes without drying them out, cover the dish with foil and warm it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through. This helps retain moisture and keeps the potatoes creamy

  1. One key element that is missing from this recipe that adds so much flavor (Market Street chef told me this is what he uses) is the spice AROMAT. I use it and it’s fantastic.

    I made this for our Christmas dinner with our Prime Rib. It was delicious! My family loved it! So easy to make! Thanks for sharing!

  8. Thanks for the recipe. I have seen a version of this recipe using frozen hash brown patties. I like the idea of using the sliced fresh potatoes better. My DIL is Celiac, and can’t have gluten, so this will work great for her….no cream soups or flour! Yay!
