Ingredients
  

  • 1 kilogram Maris Piper potatoes
  • 2 red onions
  • a pinch of salt
  • pepper to taste
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • fresh thyme
  • 3 tablespoons anchovy oil
  • 2 or 3 anchovies cut into small pieces
  • 2 garlic cloves crushed
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Start by slicing the Maris Piper potatoes and onions. You can use a food processor to make this task much easier.
  • Place the sliced potatoes and onions in a tray.
  • Bring water to a boil in a kettle. Pour just enough boiling water into the tray to come about a quarter of the way up the potatoes and onions.
  • Season with a pinch of salt, and pepper, and add the cream to the tray.
  • Sprinkle some fresh thyme over the potatoes.
  • Place the tray on the stovetop and bring it to a boil.
  • Allow it to cook for approximately 6 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, add a few anchovies (along with some of their oil), unpeeled garlic cloves, nutmeg, and 2/3 of the Parmesan cheese to the tray.
  • Cover the tray with tin foil and reduce the heat. Let it continue cooking.
  • Remove the tin foil from the potatoes and add an extra layer using 1/3 of the Parmesan cheese on top.
  • Transfer the tray to the oven to allow the dish to gratinate for 30 minutes until the top becomes crispy and golden.
  • Remove from the oven, and your delicious potato dauphinoise is ready to be enjoyed!
