Gratin Dauphinois



 My wonderful friend Sandi recently moved into her own townhouse, so to celebrate we got together to make a fabulous meal! Below is the recipe for the potatoes we made which were by far the best part of the meal (who doesn't love garlic, cream and potatoes?!).

Gratin Dauphinois

1 ½ cups milk
1 ½ cups whipping cream
¾ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 lbs potatoes, sliced very thin (best to use a mandolin)

Bring first four ingredients to a boil over medium low heat, in saucepan. Remove from heat.

Layer ½ of the potatoes in a glass baking dish – pour over the garlic and ½ of the sauce. Layer remaining potatoes and cover with last of the sauce. Press potatoes into the milk.

Bake for 25 minutes at 375 degrees F, then press potatoes into the milk again. Continue cooking for another 25 minutes.

Check the potatoes and cook a little longer if they aren't soft enough to your liking.

Very flavourful!
