Potato dauphinoise
This is actually master chef Jamie Oliver’s quick version of the classic potato dish. Not only is it said to have a creaminess that will take you to heaven, it only takes 30 minutes to prepare.
Start by slicing about 1 kilo of washed potatoes. Do the same with about 1-2 red onions — this helps tremendously with taste.
Pour about 2 cups of cream, as well as a generous splash of salt and pepper.
Here’s where the recipe takes a new, interesting turn.
Pour boiling hot water over the potato and onion mixture. According to Jamie Oliver, it’s a brilliant shortcut that will start the cooking process immediately.
When the pan is about ¼ full of boiling water, turn your element on and let the potatoes boil directly on the stove.
As the water boils, add 4-5 anchovies for taste as well as some freshly crushed garlic clove. Add 2 bay leaves, parmesan and fresh thyme — or really, just any other spices you like!
Then cover the pan with foil and let stand, allowing the potatoes to boil for about 6 minutes.
Remove the foil — it’s time for the last step!
Give the mixture a generous portion of grated parmesan cheese, then slide your casserole into your oven, set to 390 degrees F (200 C) to get a beautiful, gratinated top.
After 15 minutes in the oven, this simple magic potato dish is ready to serve!
