Categories     Potato

Time 2h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 lbs waxy potatoes
1/2 pint milk
salt and pepper
grated nutmeg
3 ounces butter
1/2 pint double cream
1 garlic clove
5 ounces grated gruyere cheese

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • Peel the potatoes, wipe clean with a damp cloth and cut them into thin slices.
  • Do not wash or soak them in water as this would remove the starch essential to the correct consistency of the dish.
  • Pour the milk into a large saucepan, season with salt, freshly ground pepper and nutmeg to taste and add the butter cut into small pieces.
  • Place over a medium heat, beat with a birch (wire) whisk and bring slowly to boiling point, add the potatoes and the cream gradually, reduce the heat and simmer very slowly for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Rub a large gratin dish with the cut clove of garlic, butter it generously and pour in the potato mixture.
  • Scatter the cheese on top and bake very slowly for 1 1/2 hours until a crisp brown crust has formed.
  • Serve immediately.

This gratin dauphinois was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my gratin dauphinois didn't turn out as expected. The potatoes were undercooked and the cheese was too runny. I'm not sure what went wrong.

Not bad! The gratin dauphinois was a bit bland for my taste, but it was still a good side dish.
