Potato Dauphinoise Recipe Jamie Oliver

QUICK POTATO DAUPHINOISE

Steps:

• Normally you need a couple of hours to cook this recipe, but we are going to show you how to cook it quickly and absolutely delicious. Take a kilo of medium-sized potatoes. Peel them and thinly slice.
• Next, peel and slice 1 red onion.
• Place your potatoes and onion into a baking tray. Then, add a nice pinch of salt and pepper.
• Then, add 100 ml of cream and 2 bay leaves. Next, add 5 g of fresh thyme. Give that a good mix. Place your tray on the hob and add 100 ml of hot water. Bring that to boil.
• Next, add 2 teaspoons of anchovy oil along with 3 anchovies. Squash 1 clove of garlic. Then, add 20 g of grated parmesan along with grated quarter of a nutmeg.

• Then, place you tray into the oven without tin foil for 15 minutes at 220 degrees C.

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.
