My Potato Dauphinoise... well, not quite, this is my take on one, which is much more like a Potato Gratin. Comté, thyme, double cream, whats not to like?
Potato Gratin
4 peeled and sliced maris piper potatoes, cut 2mm thick
Picked thyme
Double cream
100g comte
Maldon salt
Fresh black pepper
Layer the sliced potato in an oven proof dish, add picked thyme and grated comte, season. Add another layer of potato/thyme and cheese and add some double cream. After 2/3 layers of cream, potatoes and seasoning. Top with a layer of nicely cut potato, thyme and cheese. Bake in a bain marie at 180c for 45 minutes until cooked through and golden brown.

4. Baking
Prepare a bain-marie by placing a cloth at the bottom of a tray filled with water to prevent the cream from boiling and splitting.
Place the oven-proof dish in the bain-marie and bake in the oven at 170°C (338°F) for about 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through and the top is golden brown.
