Here’s how I made this yummy Red Potato Gratin with Caramelized Shallots and Crispy Prosciutto: 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

First  I started with the little red potatoes. I like the little ones because they are more uniform in size. Wash the potatoes and cut into thin slices. Then place them in a bowl of cold water while you work on the other components.

Then slice up the shallots and mince the garlic and sage, set aside. Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment and brush with olive oil. Lay the prosciutto out on the pan and place in the preheated oven. Cook until crispy, about 10-12 minutes.

Remove from the oven to cool, then crumble. While the prosciutto was cooking, I caramelized the sliced shallots in a tablespoon of olive oil. Heat the olive oil in a saute pan, add sliced shallots and cook on medium heat, stirring frequently until nicely caramelized.

Now time to assemble the gratin. Brush glass pie plate or casserole dish with a bit of olive oil. Drain the potatoes and layer half of them in the dish. Starting from the outside and working your way to the middle layering in a spiral design.

Sprinkle half of the caramelized shallots over the potatoes. Then the half of the crispy prosciutto and half of the cheese. Then top with another layer of potatoes, shallots, prosciutto and cheese.

In a saucepan, add cream, garlic, sage, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and pour evenly over the potatoes. Mix panko with the 2 teaspoons of olive oil and sprinkle evenly over the top.

Cover with foil and place in the preheated oven, bake covered for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake uncovered for 50 minutes more.

Remove from the oven. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
