Dauphin style potatoes with cream

45 minutes
Dauphinoise potatoes with cream is an exquisite dish of French cuisine rooted in the Dauphiné region. This delicate, creamy treat is known for its subtle aroma of garlic and buttery softness. Thin slices of potato soaked in cream and butter create a harmonious blend of textures, while the final layer of Parmesan adds a refined crust with rich flavor. Baked at low temperature, dauphinoise potatoes acquire a golden hue and melting consistency. The dish pairs perfectly with meat or fish mains but can also stand alone as a gastronomic delight.
