That dish can be very good. It is not gratin dauphinois. The real thing from the Dauphiné, in the French Alps, has no cheese at all, and its silkiness comes from a single technique that almost everyone skips: you cook the potatoes in the cream on the hob before they ever see the oven.</p>Sat, 21 Feb 2026 14:00:00 +0000
