Method
- 1. Preheat the oven to Gas mark 3 / 160 C / 315 F.
- 2. In a frying pan, heat the butter over a low heat and fry the onions until they are soft / translucent - this should take about 4/5 minutes.
- 3. Grease a medium sized casserole dish (one that will hold approx 1 Litre)with butter and rub the garlic clove around the dish to give a faint, but not overpowering, flavour of garlic.
- 4. Layer the potatoes, onions and cheese (keep back a little of the cheese to go on the top of the dish)in the dish.
- 5. Whisk the cream, milk & seasoning together in a jug or pouring bowl. When well combined, pour this over the potato, onion & cheese layers in the casserole dish. Top off with the remaining cheese.
- 6. Bake for approx an hour in the oven until the top is golden brown.

- 150g Chorizo sausage.remove skin and thinly slice
- smoked bacon. cut into thin strips
- 200ml double cream

- 6 Shallots Finely Chopped
- 25g parmesan cheese. grated
Method
- Before starting this recipe please bear in mind that the essential ingredients needed for Potato Dauphinoise are the potatoes, cream and cheese, all other ingredients can be reduced, increased or omitted to your liking. I make this recipe different every time depending on what I have in the fridge
- Start by peeling and slicing the potatoes. Try to use large white potatoes where possible as they tend to soften better in the sauce.
- Par boil the potatoes for 3-4 minutes (until slightly softened) and then drain.
- Lightly fry the shallots and bacon strips in olive oil. Once the bacon is cooked through and the shallots have turned translucent remove the frying pan from the heat and add the crushed garlic and chorizo and stir through well.
- In a large oven proof dish (or in 4 small separate oven proof dishes) layer potatoes and the meat mixture adding cream and cheese. Build up layers as you would with a lasagne making sure you evenly distribute the ingredients. Be sure to leave enough cheese to cover the top of the dish.
- Place in a preheated oven at 190 degrees c. for approximately 50 - 70 minutes. If you are using smaller portions the cooking time will be reduced slightly. Check on the meal after 40 minutes. To test if the meal is cooked through check one of the potatoes to confirm if it has softened throughout.
- Best served warm (not piping hot) with fresh salad leaves and minted peas & green beans.
