I usually cook this easy dauphinoise potatoes recipe during the winter holidays – and it’s always a crowd pleaser. Sometimes I add smoked pancetta or bacon, to give it a bit of an extra flavour. Smoked chorizo works pretty well too. As for the cheese on top, this time I used parmesan, but cheddar – or even gruyere – would work just as well. I love the versatility of this recipe – and the fact that you can serve it as a stand alone dish or as a garnish.
