Quick Dauphinoise Potatoes

November 5, 2018

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

In my opinion here is no more decadent way to serve potatoes than “Dauphinoise Potatoes”. It is a French classic. Cream and milk are combined with potatoes and a little garlic and baked in the oven. What’s not to love!

My only problem with them is the time it takes to bake them – at least 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. This recipe is my cheats or time savers version which takes about 40 minutes. The trick is to parboil the sliced potatoes in the cream/milk mixture before baking. This considerably lessens the time taken to cook the potatoes in the oven.

The potatoes need to be thinly cut into slices that are about 3-4mm thick. You can use a knife or a food processor to do this. I find that it is relatively easy to do with a knife if you take a little care.

You can use all cream instead of a cream and milk mix if you want to make the potatoes even more decadent.  You could also use all milk if you want to cut down on the extra calories. You can also top with cheese for even more flavour.

These potatoes are so good served with anything but especially with a Sunday roast or roast stuffed chicken breasts for a weekday treat.
