Answer 2

You slice enough peeled potatoes ( maris pipers are good ) 2 mms thick to fill an oven proof dish. Layer them with salt, pepper and chopped garlic and pour over a 3:1 double cream to milk mixture ( enough to come up to the top layer of pots ), dot with butter and bake at 180c for 90 mins or until the pots are tender.

Gratin dauphinoise never ever contains cheese.

Here is a typical, standard recipe for these potatoes.
I did, however, find some that called for parmasean cheese in or over the top.
A tip: Use the microwave to get started..it will cut your time in half!
