60 minutes
Potato dauphine with Stilton cheese is an exquisite French recipe enriched with British character thanks to the blue Stilton cheese. Its history traces back to the classic potato gratin popular in Europe. Tender, thinly sliced potato pieces soaked in a creamy milk sauce with nutmeg aroma are baked to a golden crust. The rich Stilton adds depth of flavor – tangy and slightly salty, it contrasts beautifully with the softness of the potatoes. This dish is perfect for a cozy family dinner or festive gathering, complementing meat and vegetable dishes. The light sharpness of garlic and the creaminess of butter make each forkful unique. Served hot, with a little resting time to reveal all flavor nuances.
