Daupinoise Potatoes - Side Dish

Daupinoise are my favourite potatoes and are not for those watching their weight – hence why they are a special occasion dish! They aren’t normally on our Christmas day dinner menu, but they’re my favourite and as chef for the day it was my prerogative to add what I wanted on!


Serves 4 as a side dish


Ingredients:

4 - 5 Large Potatoes (I use Maris Piper) - sliced widthways about 2-3mm thick
1 Garlic clove
500ml Double Cream
Nutmeg
Butter to grease dish
Salt and pepper to season


Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to about 160/ 180/ Gas 4 – 5.
  2. Grease a dish about 20cm x 20cm with butter. Then rub the dish with the garlic. Finely chop or mince the garlic and add it to the cream.
  3. Layer the potato slices into the dish over lapping slightly until they reach about a cm below the dish top.
  4. Pour cream over the potatoes. It should reach to the top of the potatoes. Push the potatoes down so they are all coated with cream. Sprinkle over nutmeg and seasoning.
  5. Bake in the oven on a tray for about 45 -50 minutes until golden, bubbling and tender!
