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:
- Preheat the oven to about 160/ 180/ Gas 4 – 5.
- 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.
- Layer the potato slices into the dish over lapping slightly until they reach about a cm below the dish top.
- 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.
- Bake in the oven on a tray for about 45 -50 minutes until golden, bubbling and tender!
