Deluxe Dauphinoise Potatoes
This deluxe dauphinoise potato dish is French cuisine at its best and contains fresh herbs, anchovy fillets and Gruyère cheese. The dish originates from the Dauphiné area of France and is also known according to how it is made "au gratin" which means to grate, or cover with breadcrumbs or cheese. This is an amazing side dish for a special occasion.

I ran into a small problem with this where the sauce separated in the oven, resulting in a kind of omelette-like egg layer all around the outer edge of the potatoes, and a weird semi-solid sort of white gunk inside. It tastes great still, which is why I'm giving this four stars in spite of this unexpected development, but texturally it was somewhat odd and definitely not dauphinoise. The only change I made to the recipe was to exchange the anchovies for small balls of blond miso paste, due to having a seafood allergy. I can't see that being the reason for the sauce going weird on me, but I shall attempt the recipe again without it to make sure. - 22 Aug 2015 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
We all really enjoyed this and I have made it twice already with my freshly dug potatoes. Also it easy to make a less greedy version when circumstances require! - 17 Jul 2014 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
