    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!

    And check out their little crispy bottoms!

    Warm Mustard Potato Salad without Mayo - potatoes paired with bacon and leek, in a tangy mustard garlic dressing, finished with fresh parsley.

    Spinach Mashed Potatoes - fluffy and creamy mashed potatoes, loaded with baby spinach, herbs and feta - the complete side dish.

    These cute little mini gratin dauphinois stacks also make a very impressive (but really simple!) side dish for your next dinner party or family gathering.

        Hi Elsie
        A mandolin is a small hand-held kitchen slicer that is used to thinly slice vegetables. 200c converts to 390f.
        Hope this helps you out

        Hi Malwina! It sounds like you want to prepare these ahead of time. My suggestion would be to slice the potatoes and keep them in the fridge covered with water overnight. Then drain them well and start at step 2. Hope this helps!

      Soundds great. Love the muffin tin idea because I always overdo it then end up eating the dish for 3 or 4 days. In a muffin tin I can be very precise to only have enough leftovers for one time! Thank you so much! Sandra

      I can’t wait to make these for my grandson! Is there an exact measurement of cream and cheese? I didn’t see it in the recipe and don’t want to wing it. Thanks
