SATURDAY IN THE KITCHEN

TIFFANY'S DAUPHINOISE POTATOES 

This morning we introduced the lovely Tiffany to The Kitchen page and she rustled up a lovey Dauphinoise Potato Dish.

With thin slices of potato slow cooked in the oven with cream and garlic – the most decadent of side dishes

We have included the recipe below but please not this may be an adaption to the method that Tiff used.

IF YOU FANCY HAVING A GO YOURSELF HERE'S THE RECIPE

READY IN: 1 HOUR 5 MINUTES

PORTIONS:  8

INGREDIENTS:

• 500ml double cream
• 500ml milk
• 3 garlic cloves
• 8 large King Edward or Maris Piper potatoes
• 100g grated gruyère cheese (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

• STEP 1

  Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5.

• STEP 2

  Tip 500ml double cream, 500ml milk and 3 garlic cloves into a large saucepan and bring to a simmer.

• STEP 3

  Slice 8 large potatoes very finely, about 3-4mm, add them to the cream and simmer for 3 mins until just cooked.

• STEP 4

  Gently stir to separate the potato and stop it sinking and catching on the bottom of the pan.

• STEP 5

  Remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon and place in a wide shallow ovenproof dish so that they are about 5cm in depth.

• STEP 6

  Pour over the garlic infused cream (discarding the garlic) – just enough to seep through the layers and leave a little moisture on the surface.

• STEP 7

  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.
