CLASSIC BISTRO STYLE GRATIN DAUPHINOIS - FRENCH GRATIN POTATOES
This classic French potato gratin dish is world famous, and rightly so! I am quite happy to have this as a main meal, with just some crusty bread and a large mixed salad on the side. I have heard that this famous dish was created as a way of encouraging the "Dauphin" (the young prince destined to become King Henri II), to eat up his vegetables, hence the name! Maybe - it is certainly just as popular with children, as it is with adults. Try to slice the potatoes as thinly as possible for the best results. A wonderful accompaniment for all sorts of roast meats, stews, casseroles and poultry. This recipe is not strictly French, using as it does a Swiss cheese.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300F/150C/gas mark 2.
- Take a heavy-bottomed dish or an ovenproof gratin dish (a Le Creuset is ideal - the potatoes tend not to catch), and grease it will with some of the butter.
- Layer the potato slices in the dish, slightly overlapping each other, seasoning lightly with the salt and pepper, and sprinkling a liberal amount of cheese on each layer.
- Sprinkle cheese on the top of the last layer.
- Put the double cream, garlic and sprigs of thyme in a pan and bring to them gently to the boil, then remove the thyme and pour hot cream over the potatoes.
- Dot the top of the gratin with the remaining butter and some extra cheese if you wish, and bake for about 1 hr to 1 1/2 hrs, or until the potatoes are soft, and the top is crispy and golden brown.
- Serve bubbling hot as a main meal or as an accompaniment.

Steps:
- Place potatoes in a pot, cover with water and boil until fork tender, about 20 minutes; cool, then cut into fourths.
- Heat oven to 400°.
- Combine ranch dressing and melted butter in a bowl.
- Combine the paprika, white pepper and salt; mix half of the spice mixture into the dressing mixture and then combine that mix with the potatoes.
- Pour potato mixture into a greased, 9x13-inch casserole dish, or a pan large enough so that potatoes form a single layer; sprinkle the parmesan cheese evenly over the top and sprinkle the remaining spice mixture over that.
- Bake on middle rach of oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Tips for Making Crispy Bistro Potatoes:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are good options, as they hold their shape well when fried.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Soak the potatoes in cold water: This will help to remove excess starch, which can make the potatoes gummy.
- Dry the potatoes thoroughly: This will help them to crisp up in the pan.
- Use a generous amount of oil: This will help the potatoes to brown and crisp up.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: This will prevent the potatoes from cooking evenly.
- Flip the potatoes frequently: This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Season the potatoes with salt and pepper: You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Serve the potatoes immediately: They are best enjoyed hot and crispy.
