CLASSIC BISTRO STYLE GRATIN DAUPHINOIS - FRENCH GRATIN POTATOES
This classic French potato gratin dish is world famous, and rightly so! I am quite happy to have this as a main meal, with just some crusty bread and a large mixed salad on the side. I have heard that this famous dish was created as a way of encouraging the "Dauphin" (the young prince destined to become King Henri II), to eat up his vegetables, hence the name! Maybe - it is certainly just as popular with children, as it is with adults. Try to slice the potatoes as thinly as possible for the best results. A wonderful accompaniment for all sorts of roast meats, stews, casseroles and poultry. This recipe is not strictly French, using as it does a Swiss cheese.

- Layer the potato slices in the dish, slightly overlapping each other, seasoning lightly with the salt and pepper, and sprinkling a liberal amount of cheese on each layer.
- Sprinkle cheese on the top of the last layer.
- Put the double cream, garlic and sprigs of thyme in a pan and bring to them gently to the boil, then remove the thyme and pour hot cream over the potatoes.
- Dot the top of the gratin with the remaining butter and some extra cheese if you wish, and bake for about 1 hr to 1 1/2 hrs, or until the potatoes are soft, and the top is crispy and golden brown.

Delicious and simple potatoes...great as a side for barbecued meats. I found this in the Daily Herald, it's originally from a suburban Chicago catering company.

BISTRO POTATOES SAUTEED WITH GARLIC & WALNUT OIL
This is a simple yet impressive recipe from Patricia Wells's fabulous cookbook, "Bistro Cooking". This is a very easy dish to throw together while you are preparing the rest of the meal. Pairs very nicely with fish and meat, or, for a lighter meal, a simple salad. If you don't have walnut oil, use very high quality extra-virgin olive oil.
