Instructions:
-
First, you’ll need a potato slicer, otherwise, you’ll spend forever thinly slicing potatoes for this dish. 🥔
-
-
Next, you’ll need a good deep’ish glass bowl that is oven friendly to cook it in. 🍲
-
Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F) for this dish, although with experience, you can choose your own setting based on your oven’s behavior.
-
Slice potatoes thinly and layer them in the dish, adding the odd peppercorn according to taste.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine half part double cream and half part milk. Add salt to the mixture.
-
Cover the sliced potatoes with the milk/cream mixture in the dish.
-
Place the dish in the preheated oven and leave it for roughly 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the potatoes are cooked through and the top is golden brown and bubbly.
-
When adding the milk/cream mix, ensure that it just covers the potatoes. Make sure they’re not floating too much; otherwise, it takes longer to cook. ⏲️
-
This recipe originates from France, particularly from the region of Dauphiné. It’s a classic French dish, and I learned this when I was working in a restaurant in the South of France when I was 14 years old. 🇫🇷
-
Some variations include adding a dash of nutmeg or even an egg to the milk/cream mix. You can also sprinkle grated cheese on top before baking. However, the choice of additional ingredients depends on personal taste preferences. 🧀🥚
Enjoy your delicious Gratin Dauphinois! It’s perfect for a cozy dinner or as a side dish for special occasions. Bon appétit! 🍽️🇫🇷
