Method

  1. Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Tip the cream, milk and garlic into a large saucepan and bring to a simmer. Slice the 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.
  2. 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 the 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.

    This was nice but I would make two comments - I made the quantities as per the recipe but despite having 6 hungry people for dinner, there was loads left. I would say that this is enough for 8 - 10 people. Also, I think if you take the garlic out as suggested there is hardly any garlic taste. I left it in (chopped) and the flavour was still very mild. next time I would probaly double the amount of garlic and leave it in.

    I followed suit and added nutmeg and seasoned and added gruyere between each layer. I'm not sure I used the 'right' potatoes, but the ones from the standard bag of 'large' potatoes seemed to be fine. Turned out really well, as good as any dauphinoise I've had before. It was the first time I've cooked it and it was really easy.

    Made for New Year's Day - delicious! Had to soften the potatoes longer than stated & I added extra garlic, but otherwise followed recipe exactly & it was superb, everyone had seconds despite the calories!!! Next time I think ill add pancetta & thin sliced onion... Oh, and I did include grated gruyere - not just on top but mid way through layers of potato too, calories galore!

    Worked very well at my friend's party last night. One tiny little improvement I would make is to increase the amount of Gruyere and add just a wee bit of chilli powder or mustard, just to sharpen it up a bit. But a very impressive dish that got woofed down, and that;'s the only compliment I want on the food I make.

    First time cooking dauphinoise potatoes - absolutely delicious! Served with the foolproof roast chicken from this website and new potatoes, roasted carrots, swede and shallots. Will definitely be cooking this again! Only thing is, didn't taste any garlic so perhaps you could ass more or leave the cloves in. Thanks!

    Scrummy!!!! Apart from thinly slicing the potatoes, which is a little time consuming, so easy! Delicious with roast leg of lamb for a special Easter lunch!

    Tasted amazing with nutmeg! Next time, I would probably add more of the cheese though.

    Nice recipe - however it definitely needs seasoning (too bland without) - add s/p and nutmeg between layers.

    Nice, rich and creamy. However did need salt & pepper. Nutmeg added gave it that little bit of extra piquancy. Simmered onion and garlic with the cream mixture and removed it afterwards. For colour and a little something extra add a thin sprinkling of Smoked Paprika with the cheese before baking.
