Creamy Dauphinoise Potatoes Recipes

CREAMY DAUPHINOISE LAYERED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C / 320F / Gas 2
• You need a dish deep enough and large enough to hold the potatoes & liquid. For 4 medium potatoes, I used an oven dish measuring 10"x 6" and 2" deep (inches).
• Peel potatoes and then slice to a thickness or 3 -4 mm. Any thinner and the potatoes will turn into mush when cooking. Once peeled, rinse & dry them on a clean tea cloth and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
• Add your herbs, grated garlic, salt, pepper and butter, (break the butter into little bits) and use your hands and carefully mix everything well so the potato slices are coated nicely.
• Layer the slices in your dish, covering all the gaps, keep layering until done.
• Add the milk / cream and gently push down the potatoes to coat them with the liquid
• **** Remember, if using milk, add 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch to the milk, stir to dissolve then add to the potatoes.
• Place in a baking tray (to catch any spills). Put in the oven for cooking. Depending on how large your dish, cooking times will be between 1 and 1 1/2 hours. A guide will be the golden colour on the top, and also if you poke a knife in the potatoes, you can feel if they are cooked.
• When you are ready to serve, use a knife to cut the portions, and then a slotted spoon to scoop the potatoes. If you have used milk there will be a little liquid left in the bottom of the dish. I sometimes use this liquid to add to a soup....it's delicious and I don't like to throw things away!

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.

Add remaining potatoes to baking dish and pour enough cream mixture over potatoes to just cover.

THE ULTIMATE MAKEOVER: POTATO DAUPHINOISE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Brush the oil over the bottom and sides of a 25 x 19 x 5cm ovenproof dish. Put the milk, garlic, 4 thyme sprigs, bay leaf and shallot into a saucepan. Bring just to the boil, then remove from the heat and add the nutmeg and a little pepper. Set aside to infuse.
• Peel then slice the potatoes very thinly. Pat them dry. Layer half the slices in the dish, overlapping slightly, then season.
• Strain the infused milk into a jug. Put the crème fraîche into a bowl, then gradually pour in the milk, whisking until smooth. Add the stock and thyme leaves. Return this liquid to the jug, then pour half of it over the potatoes in the dish. Layer up the rest of the potatoes, then add remaining liquid, the cheese and a grind of pepper. Sit the dish on a baking sheet and bake for 1¼-1½ hrs until golden and tender - test by inserting a sharp knife through the potatoes. Stand for 5 mins before serving, sprinkled with thyme sprigs.

• Butter a 2 quart flame proof casserole or gratin dish.
• Peel the potatoes and hold them in cold water until ready to proceed with the recipe.
• Combine the garlic, cream, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
• Dry the potatoes fully and cut them into rounds, beginning at one end, using a mandoline. Set the blade on the mandoline to cut a thin, 1/8-inch thick, slice. Place the potato slices into the gratin dish carefully layering them in a circular fashion. Pour the seasoned cream over the potatoes and shake the dish gently to allow the cream to flow towards the bottom of the dish.
• Place the gratin dish on the stovetop over low heat and begin to warm the contents until the cream has begun to simmer. Cook the potatoes in the seasoned cream for 5 minutes and then place the gratin dish into the oven.
• Bake the potatoes for 45 to 60 minutes until the top has browned to a rich golden color and the cream is bubbling along the side of the dish.

DAUPHINOISE POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F or 180 degrees Celsius.
• Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly.
• A mandoline or food processor is ideal for this job, but the cucumber slicer on the side of a cheese grater will work as well.
• You can also use a knife but it will take longer to make sure the slices are all the same thickness.
• Spread out the sliced, but unrinsed, potatoes and sprinkle with about 1/2 tsp of salt.
• Rub the slices together and leave for five minutes.
• This helps to soften and season the potatoes.
• Drain off any excess liquid from the potatoes and tip them into a pan with the creme fraiche.
• Salt and pepper lightly, then bring to a boil, reduce the heat immediately and let simmer for about 30 seconds.
• Meanwhile, rub an oven-proof casserole dish with the peeled garlic.
• Tip everything into the prepared dish.
• Spread the mixture evenly and cook for around 45 minutes until the top is browned and the potatoes are cooked.
