Steps:

• Peel and cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch strips.
• Fill a medium bowl with cold water and soak cut potatoes for 15 minutes.

GRATIN DAUPHINOIS - CLASSIC FRENCH POTATOES BAKED IN CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F (190C).
• Rub a large 3-qt. (3-l) baking dish about 3 1/2 inches deep with a split garlic clove and butter generously.
• Chop the garlic.
• Using a mandolin or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes as thinly as possible, about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick. Blot the slices dry with paper towels.
• Spread a layer of potatoes in the prepared dish, slightly overlapping them if desired, and sprinkle with salt & pepper; cover evenly with a small amount of cream, and sprinkle with a little chopped garlic (sprinkle layers and top with grated gruyere cheese, if using).
• Repeat the layering until all the potatoes and garlic are used and the potatoes are completely submerged by the cream.
• Dot with small bits of butter.
• Bake in the hot preheated oven for a good hour, then increase the temperature to 400F (200C) for the last 15-20 minutes until the potatoes have absorbed all of the cream and the top has turned a nice golden brown in color.
• Serve in the cooking dish straight from the oven, sprinkling each portion with some of the chives and parsley.
• Menu idea: Serve with steak, peaches in red wine and a beaujolais wine to drink!
