Dauphinoise Potatoes
The French classic, Dauphinoise Potatoes is perfect if your looking for an accompaniment that goes along with your savory dishes. This creamy potato dish contains a lot of carbohydrates which would give you a lot of energy but on the other hand the calories could be too rich for some people. Although I consider health as the first priority for the dishes I make, at times I tend to give in to temptation of the creamy taste.For health conscious people a low fat alternative of dauphinoise potatoes could be found here. To bake this dish it would take around 30 minutes but for a slightly speedier version of this recipe, par-boil the potato slices for 3-4 minutes before baking.
Ingredients
- 675g potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 garlic clove
- 25g butter
- 300ml single cream
- 50ml full cream milk
- Salt and white pepper for seasoning
Method
1 Cut the garlic in half and rub the cut side around the inside of a wide shallow oven proof tray and then butter the tray. After, blend the cream and milk in a jug.
2 Cover the base of the dish with a layer of potatoes. Dot a little butter over the potato layer and season with salt and pepper and then pour over a little of the cream and milk mixture.
3 Continue making layers until all the ingredients have been used up, ending with a layer of cream.
3 Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes or more. If the dish browns too quickly and seems to drying out then cover with a lid or with a piece of foil. The potatoes are ready to eat when they are very soft and the top is golden brown.

I have yet made “Dauphinoise Potatoes”, it looks so much better and delicious than potato puree or mashed potato. My parents-in-law are a huge fan of potatoes, but from simple salted water-poached potatoes, stir-fried potatoes, to potato pancakes. I don’t know what to cook for them whenever they visit us…..
p.s. You can get yellow split peas in most Asian stores.

I don’t cook with butter or cream a lot, but I realized lately that I add cheese to 85% of my dishes. I love a good potato gratin – yummy.
