How to make Potatoes Dauphinoise

  1. Step 1

    Wash and peel the potatoes, then slice them thinly. Use a mandoline slicer to ensure uniform thickness.

  2. Step 2

    In a saucepan, combine the milk, cream, chopped garlic, Parmesan cheese, butter, and thyme. Cook for one minute, then add the sliced potatoes.

  3. Step 3

    Cook the mixture over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning or the potatoes sticking to the bottom.

  4. Step 4

    Prepare an oven-safe dish by brushing it with a little melted butter or oil.

  5. Step 5

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the potatoes from the saucepan and layer them in the dish.

  6. Step 6

    Pour the mixture of cheese, milk, cream, garlic, and thyme over the potatoes.

  7. Step 7

    Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 40 minutes.

  8. Step 8

    Ten minutes before the cooking time is up, remove the aluminum foil to allow the top to brown and achieve a golden, gratinéed finish.
