Gratin Dauphinois


Ingredients 
  • 6 large potatoes
  • about 1L whole milk
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • nutmeg
  • pepper
  • about 1/2 cup 15% cooking cream
Directions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. 
  2. Slice potatoes thinly and place in a saucepan. Cover potaotes with milk. Add nutmeg, bay leaves, salt, and pepper.
  3. On med-low heat, bring potatoes to a boil. Once potaotes boil, reduce heat and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently and scraping bottom of pan, until milk has become creamy and potatoes are slightly tender (don't over cook potaotes since they will bake in oven).
  4. Transfer potates (with the milk of course) to a large baking dish (3 L).  
  5. Add cream and a little nutmeg to the top of potatoes.
  6. Bake for about 35 mintues, until bubbly and golden brown.
  7. Serve!
