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!

Wow! looks super delicious. I can't wait to try it.
Thanks Radwa!
Made these for dinner today and they turned out lovely. They did shrink quite a bit in the muffin tin so next time I would fill them right to the top.....will definitely make again.
That's great Flo! Glad you enjoyed them!

Can the cream be substituted with something else?
Hi Jo Ann, I haven’t tested the recipe with a substitute for the cream. Sorry!

Wonderful recipe, mine turned out perfect, I will make this recipe often!
Yay! Thanks Deborah!
Mine sure didn’t look like the picture and they had a little too much bitter garlic taste from the garlic that got crispy I guess, and I love garlic! Also didn’t seem too cheesy like a scalloped potato either. Probably would make this as written again....
Hi Dawn, I’m sorry they didn’t work out for you! I’ve made them myself many times without any of the results you described.

I am going to try these...such cute individual serves.
Thanks Susan!
Why don't You just divide the recipe by 4.
What kind if cream???
Hi Faye! Sorry for the late reply, I missed your comment.
I use pure cream (39% milk fat)
Hope this helps!
What kind of cream would I use....I'm from the states and would I use heavy shipping cream or another type of cream?
I used cream with 39% milk fat with no added thickeners. Hope that helps Toni!
Hi. Do you think these could be made in advance at all?
Hi Jenny! Honestly, I haven’t ever made them in advance. You could try baking them, then keep them in the fridge until you want them then reheat them in the oven for 10 - 15 mins but they may not be as crispy. If you try it, I would love to know how it goes!
Hope this helps!

Would love to try these as usual buy similar ones frozen ... i am living by myself so was wondering if they could be frozen after cooking
Hi Linda! I’m sorry, but I don’t think they would freeze well after cooking. I haven’t tried it myself though!

I make a different version of these and I do freeze them.
How do you make yours and how do you reheat them ? I need to make ahead and freeze.
Thank you Susan
Potatoes usually freeze fine once they are cooked. I would try it.
