Description

Dauphinoise Potatoes: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe to Delight


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup grated Gruyère cheese (or cheese of your choice)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • Fresh thyme for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  3. Slice the Potatoes: Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly (about 1/8 inch thick). A mandoline slicer works great for even slices.
  4. Mix the Cream Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, milk, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Whisk until well blended.
  5. Layer the Potatoes: Place a layer of sliced potatoes in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour a portion of the cream mixture over the potatoes, followed by a sprinkle of grated cheese.
  6. Repeat Layers: Continue layering potatoes, cream, and cheese until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cream and cheese on top.
  7. Cover with Foil: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning.
  8. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes.
  9. Uncover and Brown: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  10. Let it Rest: Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh thyme for a fragrant touch.
  • Allow the dish to rest for better slicing.
