And although cheese is sometimes added to this, I think it masks the potato flavour too much. The gratin Dauphinois (potato gratin) is French specialty from the town of Grenoble and it is made out of top quality potatoes thinly sliced evenly (using a mandolin or food processor) garlic and cream. The authentic gratin dauphinois never contains cheese. for optimum result when making it at home it is best cooked in a medium sized dish. This is Guillaume Brahimi's recipe for the ultimate indulgence for potato. This traditional French casserole of thinly sliced potatoes with milk, cream, garlic, and Gruyere cheese, takes a little effort, but the result is a bubbling, indulgent accompaniment to a special meal.
