Or in English… Gratin Dauphinois is Thinly Sliced Cheesy Baked Potatoes in Milk & Cream
So the name truly sounds very fancy. But Gratin Dauphinois is just thinly sliced potatoes cooked in milk & cream and then baked in the oven. I (and also many others) add cheese. Just because cheesy potatoes are never a bad idea. Traditionally people like to add Gruyère cheese and although it is also my “go-to” cheese for this dish I also made it with Gouda and Edam (or any other hard yellow cheese or cheese blend) and the result was great!
If you have some potato leftovers you can always consider making one of the following yummy recipes like oven baked crushed potatoes or croquettes.
