Best 4 Dauphinoise Potatoes Easy Recipes

POTATOES DAUPHINOISE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees with rack in middle position. Spread butter across bottom and sides of a 2-quart baking dish.
• Peel potatoes and slice 1/8 inch thick. Place slices in a large bowl of cold water and drain thoroughly.
• Bring heavy cream, milk, and garlic to a simmer in a large, wide saucepan. Add potatoes, salt, and pepper and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender, 20 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer half the potatoes to prepared baking dish and sprinkle with half of the cheese. Add remaining potatoes to baking dish and pour enough cream mixture over potatoes to just cover. Sprinkle with remaining cheese, place on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until bubbly and golden brown on top, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Remove from oven and grate nutmeg over top just before serving.

EASY DAUPHINOISE POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 160C / 140C fan / gas mark 3 / 325F. Lightly grease a baking dish with butter. (See Note 2)
• Peel the potatoes and slice them finely - you are aiming for 2-3mm (⅛ inch) thick. But don't worry, they don't have to be perfect, this recipe is very forgiving!
• As soon as you have sliced each potato, place the slices in the large bowl of cold water.
• Mix the cream, garlic, ¾ of the thyme leaves, salt and pepper together in a jug.
• Drain the potatoes.
• Layer the potatoes and the cream mixture: a layer of potatoes first, then a couple of tablespoons of the cream mixture, then another layer of potatoes, then another layer of cream and so on, until all the potatoes have been used. Finish by pouring all the remaining cream over the top of the last layer of potatoes. Try to keep each layer as flat as possible and don't overlap the potatoes too much.
• Cover the dish tightly with foil and place in you preheated oven for 1 hour.
• After 1 hour, turn the oven up to 220C / 200C fan / gas mark 7 / 425F, then remove the potatoes from the oven and take off the foil. Scatter with the cheese and the remaining thyme and return the potatoes to the oven for a further 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.

Steps:

• Variation: This recipe also works well with orange sweet potato (kumera).
• If using sweet potato, try substituting the nutmeg with a generous sprinkling of caraway seeds over each layer.
• Yum!
• Grease a 6 cup capacity ovenproof dish generously with the butter or margarine then smear the garlic around the bottom and sides of the dish.
• (I use a round glass pyrex dish.) Peel potatoes and slice thinly into rounds.
• (I use the slicing blade of my food processor).
• Line the bottom of the dish with a single layer of overlapping potato slices.
• Sprinkle generously with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
• Repeat this layering and sprinkling process until you have used all of the potato slices.
• In a large jug, combine cream and milk and stir well.
• Pour this mixture over the potato slices, gently easing the potato away from the sides of the dish to allow the liquid to penetrate evenly.
• Place the dish onto a microwave safe plate and cook, uncovered, in a microwave on MEDIUM HIGH for 15- 20 minutes.
• Check occasionally.
• If the liquid in the potatoes boils over, simply pour it from the plate back into the dish and continue cooking.
• Microwave just until you can push the blade of a sharp knife through the potato layers without feeling any crunchy resistance.
• Having reached this stage you can go on to cook the dish in the oven or cover with plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator for several hours or more before cooking.
• Pre-set your oven to 180°C (350°F).
• Sprinkle the top of the potatoes with the grated cheese and place the dish on an upper shelf in the oven for 20 minutes or until the top turns golden brown.
• (This may take slightly longer if taking the dish straight from the refrigerator.) To serve, cut into wedges and remove each wedge carefully with a spatula.

DAUPHINOISE POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5.
• Tip 500ml double cream, 500ml milk and 3 garlic cloves into a large saucepan and bring to a simmer.
• Slice 8 large potatoes very finely, about 3-4mm, add them to the cream and simmer for 3 mins until just cooked.
• Gently stir to separate the potato and stop it sinking and catching on the bottom of the pan.
• Remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon and place in a wide shallow ovenproof dish so that they are about 5cm in depth.
• Pour over the garlic infused cream (discarding the garlic) - just enough to seep through the layers and leave a little moisture on the surface.
• Scatter over 100g grated gruyère cheese, if using, then bake for 30 mins until the potatoes are soft and browned - increase the heat for 5 mins if not brown enough.
