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!

Can I make these potatoes with garlic, oil and herbs instead of the cheese?
Hi Lee Anne;
What type of cream...heavy cream?
Hi Alethea,
the cream I used is pure cream (35% milk fat with no added thickeners).

I’m very excited to try these. They look delicious.
Thanks Donna x
What is a mandolin? What is conversion foe 200 c? In English.
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

How many potatoes are 800 grams please
Hi Gayle! 800g of potatoes is equivalent to 1.76 pounds. Hope this helps!
Can I "marinate" them in the evening day before? Sorry for my english - it's not my native language.
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!
I will try to do this ccording to your suggestion. Thank you 🙂 Greetings from Poland
My pleasure Malwina! Greetings from Australia 🙂
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
You're welcome Sandra!
Could this be considered as a classic French dish
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
