Gratin Dauphinois (Creamy Potato Casserole) | French Classics of All Time
The best potatoes to use for a gratin are floury baking potatoes. The tenderness of these potatoes means that they will soak up all the delicious garlicky creaminess. If for some reason you want to use a little less replace the crème fraîche with milk but don’t skip the double cream. The dish needs the creaminess to make it taste as good as it does and it’s worth the calories.
Serve with a green salad with fresh lemon dressing and main dishes such as roasted chicken pork or ham for a feast.
