What is gratin dauphinois
Gratin dauphinois is a french recipe of sliced potatoes mixed with cheese and milk or cream then baked. This kind of dish goes by many names. It can be scalloped potatoes, and here in Australia we call it potato bake - just to name a few!
How to make mini gratin dauphinois stacks
- Spray a 12 hole muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.
- Peel your potatoes, then slice them thinly - I use a mandolin for this.
- Add cream, parmesan & garlic to potatoes and mix to coat well.
- Add salt & pepper to taste.
- Distribute the potato slices evenly into the muffin tin holes and bake.
They are like mini individual serves of au gratin potatoes!

This is my new favourite way to do potatoes. I used Edam cheese as my family don't like parmesan and they were delicious!
Thanks Delina!

Can Gratin Potato Stacks be reheated, if so how and for how long?
I would like these for a luncheon.
Thankyou
Hi Beverley - they should reheat ok in the oven. I would do 180c for 20 - 30 mins. Hope this helps! L x
Hi Lee-Ann
I made and re heated Gratin potato stacks as you mentioned, in the muffin tins, as Linda mentioned they sure are a most popular dish.
Thank you Lee Ann
That's great Beverley! It sounds like they were a hit!
hi. are you able to use any sort of cheese?
Hi Karen! Sure, but the texture will be a bit different.
Easy to put together and it's a WOW dish when you bring it to the table. And more WOWs when they tasted it. Thank you for making me look good.
My absolute pleasure Linda!
