Simplified Potato Dauphinoise with Shallots

Ingredients

Salad Potatoes - 6 pieces
Cream 22% - 8 fl oz
Shallot - 2 pieces
Nutmeg - a pinch
Chicken Broth - 4 fl oz
Salt - to taste
Ground Black Pepper - to taste
Grated Pecorino Pepato Cheese - 3 tablespoons

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Peel and slice the potatoes and shallots into thin rounds.

Step 2

Grease a baking dish with oil and layer the potatoes and shallots. Pour the chicken broth at the bottom; it will add flavor and prevent the cream from sticking to the bottom of the dish.

Step 3

Season with salt, pepper, and ground or grated nutmeg. You can also add garlic and other spices to taste. Pour the cream evenly over everything; it should cover most of the potatoes.

Step 4

Cover the baking dish with a lid or foil; if using foil, make a couple of small holes to prevent the potatoes from boiling. Place in a preheated oven at 356°F for about an hour.

Step 5

Remove the dish from the oven, take off the lid or foil, and sprinkle with grated cheese. Leave the dish uncovered and return it to the oven for another 15–20 minutes.
