Dauphinoise Potatoes with Milk

Potatoes and milk ? Yes I always add milk with the cream and butter to my Dauphinoise Potatoes. It stops the cream from drying out to much and gives the Dauphinoise a much smoother consistency. This is the perfect recipe tried and tested for any Sunday Lunch. Simple to prepare and then left in the oven to turn into something special. A crowd pleaser every time.

The key to getting these Dauphinoise soft and cooked all the way through for me is a little pre cook. Yes I may have seen this method on the TV by an Essex boy once upon a time. However this is my recipe now and occasionally I do like to add some fresh thyme leaves from the garden.

Dauphinoise Potatoes

There are so many ways to prepare potatoes and this one is a little extra luxurious adding cream and butter. My eldest daughter can eat at least 3 portions when I make this dish. The secret to this Dauphinoise Potatoes dish being  tasty is to season well in the initial cooking stage. Ensuring that all the potatoes get seasoned not just the top layer. You can add a little greater Parmesan cheese on the top to add another flavour.
