  Mine took almost 2 hours in the oven - a lot longer than the recipe. I must say I was a little frustrated and quite disappointed. Here is a MUCH better recipe from the Potato Council website - ab fab!!! http://www.lovepotatoes.co.uk/recipes/how-to-cook-the-best/potato-dauphinoise/

  I have made this recipe many times, I don't change it, but I usually use vegetable stock, as it seems more flavoursome. I find it works really well if you follow the recipe exactly. Delicious!

  Even after two hours in the oven the potatoes still weren't done. Tasty enough, but the raw potatoes spoiled a potentially enjoyable meal.

  Made this last week, a vegi one for myself and a ham version for hubbie. We both thought it was absolutely delicious, so full of flavour. Am making it again this week and it is a recipe that I will keep for ever.

  I've cooked this before, it tasted fantastic. But tonight, I'm substituting the ham for cooked chicken. I'll keep you posted.

  This is an absolutely fool proof recipe and a firm family favourite. I've played around with it quite a bit and these are a couple of ideas that worked really well in my mind: - substituted some of the potatoes for sliced carrots for some sweetness and colour; also tried it with swede and parsnips, depending on your preference any root vegetable will work - added some left-over roast chicken together with the ham, amazing - substituted the double cream for single cream, still creamy and delicious And one that didn't work: - substituted the cream for creme fraiche, yuk As others have mentioned that the cooking time seems to be too low - I always leave it to cook under the foil for 45 minutes and only then take the foil off and add the cheese to nicely brown. Works every time.

  Well it's time the kids tried Leeks rather than McD's, so google has taken me to this site, in the process of making it, fingers X the kids love it and it becomes a favourite meal for the family to keep making.
