Gordon Ramsay Potatoes Dauphinoise Recipe – A Creamy & Indulgent Side Dish

Gordon Ramsay Potatoes Dauphinoise recipe

Gordon Ramsay’s Potatoes Dauphinoise is a luxurious dish where thinly sliced potatoes are layered and baked in a rich, garlicky cream sauce, then topped with cheese for a golden finish. Unlike traditional scalloped potatoes, this dish is creamier and more flavorful, with no flour-based sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the potatoes:

    • 2 lbs (900g) Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, thinly sliced
    • 2 cups heavy cream
    • 1 cup whole milk
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 tbsp unsalted butter (for greasing the dish)
    • 1 tsp salt
    • ½ tsp black pepper
    • ½ tsp nutmeg (optional)
  • For the topping:

    • ½ cup Gruyère cheese, grated (or Parmesan for a sharper taste)
    • 1 tbsp fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven – Set it to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with butter.
  2. Prepare the cream mixture – In a saucepan, heat cream, milk, garlic, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg over low heat. Simmer for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
  3. Slice the potatoes – Use a mandoline or sharp knife to cut the potatoes into thin, even slices.
  4. Layer the potatoes – Arrange a layer of potatoes in the baking dish, slightly overlapping. Pour some of the cream mixture over the potatoes. Repeat the layers until all potatoes are used.
  5. Top with cheese – Sprinkle Gruyère cheese evenly over the top.
  6. Bake to perfection – Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  7. Rest before serving – Let the dish sit for 5-10 minutes before slicing for the best texture.
  8. Garnish and serve – Sprinkle fresh thyme on top for extra flavor.
