Dauphinoise can be a bit rich, so make it lighter by mixing stock with cream. It's just as creamy and indulgent, but a little less heavy.

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

zest 1 large lemon
4 thyme sprigs , leaves only
½ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
200ml double cream
200ml vegetable or chicken stock (or gluten-free alternative)
1 ¼kg potato , peeled and very thinly sliced
25g butter

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put the lemon zest, thyme, nutmeg, cream, stock and plenty of seasoning into a large saucepan and bring to a simmer. Add the potatoes, stir well, and cook gently for 8 mins until beginning to soften, stirring every so often so they don't stick.
  • Grease a medium casserole dish using a little of the butter. Spoon the potatoes and creamy liquid into the dish and dot the remaining butter over the surface. Cover with foil and bake for 30 mins. Remove the foil and return to the oven for a further 30-40 mins until the potatoes are soft and the surface is golden. Leave to rest and cool for 15 mins before serving.
