How to Make Gratin Dauphines

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and thinly slice them using a mandoline or sharp knife. (Aim for slices about 1/8 inch thick).
  3. In a large bowl, gently combine the sliced potatoes, minced garlic, heavy cream, whole milk, salt, and pepper.
  4. In a large heavy saucepan, bring the potato mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring gently for 2-3 minutes until the mixture slightly thickens. Be careful not to overcook.
  5. Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish generously.
  6. Pour the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the grated Swiss cheese evenly over the top.
  8. Place the baking dish on a cookie sheet to catch any drips.
  9. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is lightly browned.
  10. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and continue baking for another 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the gratin is golden brown.
  11. Let the gratin rest for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
