INSTRUCTIONS
Soak porcini in hot water 1-1/2 hours. Strain through paper towels;
reserve liquid. Rinse porcini; squeeze dry. Discard any hard stems.
Cut into strips. Preheat oven to 325 F. Generously butter 2-quart
gratin dish. Mince shallots. Slice potatoes thinly. Heat oil in
heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and saute until
tender, about 2 minutes. Add porcini and saute 1 minute. Add reserved
porcini liquid, 2/3 cup cream, milk, salt and pepper and bring to
simmer. Add potatoes, stirring gently to separate slices. Cook until
potatoes begin to soften, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning. Transfer to prepared dish. Spoon
remaining 3 tablespoons cream over top of potatoes. (Can be prepared 1
day ahead. Refrigerate.) Bake until potatoes are tender, about 1
hour. Preheat broiler. Broil until top is browned, about 3 minutes.
