FRENCHY COOKS: DAUPHINOISE POTATOES (100 LAYERS)

[@originalvincie6116]

Chef Romain, thank you for sharing your many recipes. After two days and barely a handful of ingredients we ate like Kings. Not only was the Dophinoise a pleasure to the eye, but also a splendid treat to the mouth. Magnificent food!

I like your format very much. You show some dinner party-appropriate techniques and manage to do this in about 5 minutes. That is great Chef, I wish you well with your channel

Thanks a lot Robin! Glad you enjoyed it, long form videos will resume early 2024 :)

I used to work in a restaurant where we made those style potatoes. A little bit of work, but not that hard and well worth it for the result.

[@CHEFROMAINAVRIL]

Absolutely, super easy just require patience but indeed well worth it.

[@scruffy281]

I love this 'infusing' of the cream with subtle flavor AND the nutmeg!!! Oh YESSSSS!!! Makes a world of difference. What a great idea! I find the just cream 'only' approach just way to bland for my taste. I mean your going through all the trouble to make a pretty package it should hold a wonderful explosion of flavor as well. I will be serving this alongside Coq au Vin and I feel like the flavors added to the cream infusion for the potatoes will pair well with the flavors in the Chicken dish. Thanks so much for this recipe and technique! Merry Christmas!❤

[@CHEFROMAINAVRIL]

Most def, I always infused cream or milk for savoury preparations like quiche or béchamel

[@tripleechannel]

Hey another cooking enthousiastic here, Do you mind to explain why you think it's the best technique?

@@John-cant-ce-me-nah the best technique I don’t know but for restaurant it’s the the most ideal as we can portion and it stays nicely versus the original which is very loose. To each their own I will say :)

Thanks for the recipe and the video! I tried it out over the weekend and found when frying the slices on day 2 that they were starting to break apart a bit, making them look a bit messy. Any way to fix this? (I only started pressing once the dish had cooled down so maybe i needed to press earlier?)

[@CHEFROMAINAVRIL]

Thank you Matthew, yes absolutely you have to press it right away to make sure all the layers stick together. :) Let me know how it goes

[@bertilhatt]

If you want to find a good translation for the name “Dauphinoise,” the recipe comes from the mountainous region near Switzerland, known for its rich food, “Alpine gratin” would make sense. Mind you. if you ask for it in France, people will likely think of the just first step, and likely with thicker slices than this. The result is usually much sloppier. If you are that version, either explain it’s cut in squares, pan-fried and oven-baked a second time-or say the fancy restaurant version. People might not have tried this version, but they know the usual recipe isn’t for fancy restaurants. For context, “Dauphin” used to be the nickname of the heir to the Crown because he was Count of Vienne - a city in the region that would later call itself Dauphiné. This is similar to how, in the UK, it’s the Prince of Wales. The Prince is probably unrelated to the recipe. The first documented recipe comes from the French Revolution when local delegates showed the recipes to Parisians. Princes rarely visited that part of the country, so there’s little chance he would have found it there and brought it to fame. In addition, Royal cooks tend to note their recipes down, so it would have been documented earlier.

Question... when you had them on their side in the skillet to crisp them up, do you ever have a problem with the cheese oozing out of the bottom of them?

Yes you can really use whichever dish you please tbh. Then cut it to size. And if not deep enough you can add 2 instead of one but 2 inches isn’t bad

Should change the recipe to say not to add the nutmeg, salt and pepper to the cream. Or are you meant to add to cream and layers. Either way I added to the cream only. Also what is a 1/3 pan. And can we get a weight for the potatoes. Large is pretty ambiguous. But anyway thanks for the recipe.

[@CHEFROMAINAVRIL]

You can add it to both as long as you’re in control of your seasoning. It’s about 12x6”.

I had the worst potatoes in Paris the cook didn’t clean his grill and the potatoes tasted like last night sour grease but I don’t complain they also served an “ Oscar Mayer” boiled hot dog over a pile of sauerkraut the I must say the kraut was the best I’ve had the hot dog I put in my pocket to give to moose at home he loved it

Pomme de terre. We call many dishes pomme something for potatoes

[@Mathilde339]

Chef is right. Pommes dauphines, pommes à la suédoise, pommes noisettes.. Are all pommes de terres (potatoes) recipes :') the slang is "patates", close enough to potatoes I guess. But pommes is also apple as in compote de pommes. My biggest pet peeve is all youtube calling "tian de légumes"... "Ratatouille" since that stupid movie. 😑 "rata" means something close to ragù, simmered, it's literally in the name. Usually a brownish purée with summer vegetables, quite liquid, no shape except the little that's left in vegetable cooked in their own juice STOVE TOP. The dish in the movie and all over social media is not even a fancily plated ratatouille... It's a ******* tian de légumes ! Tian (name of the traditional oven tray you cooked it in back in the day in southern france) de legumes (content : vegetables) is done in the OVEN with slices of vegetables, ROASTED. Both southern and summer-ish but NOT THE SAME DISH. Why ? Oh why ? Whyyyyyy 😂😂😂 Each time I hear the ugly song I have dark thoughts. Sorry nice recipe btw trying next week.

Actually, when he begins layering the potatoes, the images (video) is not in sync at all with what hs is demonstrating. You have to listen to what he says, without watching what he is actually performing. The layering is the most important technique, yet the worst part of the video... Lazy. It's very difficult to find cooking videos that are done with precision. Marco does it to the point I guess we are just being entertained watching him and not what he is doing. Same for Ramsay. Often what is eliminated is most basic instruction, but can be the most critical. I don't know about you, but I watch these videos to learn new techniques and ideas. Having said that, these potatoes are fantastic!

Lazy, lol! go make your own videos then. And no it’s not, if you need a phd on how to layers potatoes, maybe you shouldn’t be cooking at all. 🫶🏻

[@pamy5699]

There is no such dish as "pomme dauphinoise". There is only "pomme dauphine" ( which is a mix of patato puree and pate-a- chou formed into a ball and deep fried), and gratin dauphinois ( which is the dish you've tried to recreate, except there is no cheese traditionally in a gratin dauphinois). I'm not trying to gatekeep "french traditionnal cuisine" but if you pretend to cook a classic french dish, you should at least gets its name right ( i don't care about using cheese tbh, lots of people do it, even if it's not traditionnal).

[@CHEFROMAINAVRIL]

It says Dauphinoise potato which is the English name. It’s called pâte à choux for the pomme dauphines (which you can find on the channel too). This is also a reinterpretation that we do in restaurant. I am French and a professional chef but thank you for trying 😇

[@pamy5699]

@@CHEFROMAINAVRIL at 0:32 you are saying (and writing) "pomme dauphinoise" I'm only adressing that. That's an incorrect name, and a misleading one since there is also "pomme dauphine" so it can lead people to confuse them.
