This is one of my favorite dishes to make when I want something impressive but honestly quite simple. Dauphinoise potatoes are creamy, comforting, and look far more fancy than the effort required. The beauty of this recipe is that it comes together in just over an hour from start to table, making it perfect for weeknight dinners or entertaining guests. Garlic not only flavors the dish beautifully but also offers wonderful cardiovascular benefits. With just potatoes, cream, milk, and cheese layered together, you'll end up with something absolutely delicious that never fails to impress.

Remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon and place in a wide shallow ovenproof dish so that they are about 5cm in depth.

Pour over the garlic infused cream (discarding the garlic) – just enough to seep through the layers and leave a little moisture on the surface.

Scatter over 100g grated gruyère cheese, if using, then bake for 30 mins until the potatoes are soft and browned – increase the heat for 5 mins if not brown enough.

Best part is the ingredient list is simple and affordable, yet feels fancy enough to impress anyone at your table.
