I found this recipe for dauphinoise potatoes on the Olive magazine website. I've enjoyed dauphinoise potatoes a few times when dining out...they're an absolute classic!
We love the combination of cream, garlic and cheese smothered on thinly sliced potatoes and it makes any meal feel more special. What's even better, is that you can cook and eat this now, or freeze ahead to have ready when you need it.
Tips
- Make ahead and freeze – this recipe can be frozen once cooked and cooled. Freeze either as one large dish, or in portions. Defrost in the fridge overnight before reheating in the oven, covered in foil. You can also reheat portions in the microwave.
- This dauphinoise potatoes recipe can easily be adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.

- Put the cream, milk, garlic and thyme into a saucepan and bring to just before a simmer, pour over the potatoes, removing the cloves of garlic.
- Sit the dish of potatoes on a baking sheet (to prevent any spills) and transfer to the oven. Bake for 50 minutes until the potatoes are soft when you push a skewer or a knife into the centre, and the sauce is bubbling.
