Time 1h20m

Yield Six to eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds medium-sized russet potatoes, peeled and sliced very thinly
2 cups milk
2 cups water
3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
Sea salt to taste
3 bay leaves
Freshly ground nutmeg and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 cup creme fraiche or heavy cream
10 ounces Gruyere cheese, freshly grated

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with the milk and water. Add the garlic, salt and bay leaves and, with the pan partially covered, bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally so that the potatoes do not stick to the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring from time to time, until the potatoes are tender but not falling apart, about 10 minutes.
  • Using a large, flat strainer, transfer half the potatoes to an eight-cup gratin dish. Sprinkle with nutmeg, pepper, half the cream and half the cheese. Cover with the remaining potatoes and sprinkle again with pepper, nutmeg and the remaining cream and cheese. (Discard the milk, water and herbs in which the potatoes were cooked.)
  • Bake until the gratin is crisp and golden on top, about one hour. Serve immediately.

The gratin dauphinois was a bit too salty for me. I think I'll use less salt next time.

This gratin dauphinois was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some garlic and herbs next time.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of potatoes, but I was pleasantly surprised. The gratin dauphinois was very flavorful and cheesy. I'll definitely be making it again.

This is the best gratin dauphinois I've ever tasted! The potatoes were perfectly cooked and the cheese was melted and gooey.
