The gratin dauphinois is an essential recipe of French gastronomy!

Ingredients: 1.5 kg firm potatoes / 100 g butter / 5 cloves of garlic

3 dl liquid cream / 1 l whole milk / 6 knobs of butter / Nutmeg / Pepper / Oil

Peel the potatoes, wash them and cut them into fairly thin slices using a mandolin. Peel and crush the garlic cloves. In a large saucepan, boil whole milk, salt, pepper, nutmeg and garlic. Throw the potato slices into the boiling, seasoned milk. Leave to cook for ten minutes so that they are well soaked and supple.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (th. 6) then distribute the potato slices in a buttered gratin dish. Pour over the fresh cream and milk. Spread small knobs of butter on the surface of the potato gratin.

Bake your gratin dauphinois for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until golden brown.
