This Dauphinoise is peak potato. It’s a classic for a reason. And don’t they just love making this on ‘Come Dine with Me’?
And yessss, this probably isn’t the sort of dish you should be having if you’re trying to be super healthy, because there is a fair bit of double cream, but it’s so tasty that who cares! It’s creamy and rich and JUST SO GOOD. Treat yourself bab.
I just love France because the French absolutely know their way around a potato. Maybe I should move? A bientot France! While I’m on one about France, you should really try aligot and my tartiflette.
Can you freeze dauphinoise potatoes?
Yes, you can cook the dauphinoise until almost fully cooked and then freeze. Defrost and reheat in the oven for 30 minutes at 180ºc. If you’re using cheese in your recipe, freeze it without the cheese and then add this afterwards when you’re ready to re-heat.
