1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Fry the onions and thyme sprigs in the oil until softened and lightly coloured (about 5 mins).
2. Spread a layer of potatoes over the base of a 1.5-litre oiled gratin dish. Sprinkle over a few onions (see picture, above) and continue layering, finishing with a layer of potatoes. Pour over the stock and bake for 50-60 mins until the potatoes are cooked and the top is golden and crisp.

  Tried this last night on Freinds, it was lovely and ideal when you have just started your New Years Diet But must say I still love Dauphinoise

  I love Dauphinoise and had worried this would be a bit tastless, however it was delicious! My non-dauphinoise fan of a husband also liked it. I did add salt and pepper to this, I felt it needed seasoning. Very easy though, after a fee minutes prep it sorted itself out. It's a great low calorie potato side dish. Definitely do this again.

  Great alternative to dauphinoise, I par-boiled the potato slices for a few mins first, as I seem to have trouble with these recipes getting the potatoes to go tender. Also, fried the onions lightly before adding them. Will definitely be doing again.

  This was a brilliant recipe though I had to add extra cooking time. I made my own veg stock from my Sarah Brown book when I was cooking for vegetarians but will probably use chicken stock from my freezer for normal mid week meals.

  I made these as part of Easter Sunday lunch for my family. My Dad isn't a big fan of potatoes but amazingly he went back for seconds of these and Lewis, my cousin, went back for thirds and forths! Big hit with everyone. Will definitely make again.
