This is a very nice version of potato dauphinoise and a very good video. Brilliant if you’ve not cooked it before. 👏👏 The original recipe, I was told is without cheese, nor thyme, though brilliant idea of yours, uses a bit more garlic and is easier to make. You just layer thin peeled potatoes, add salt and pepper, garlic sprinkles and a few knobs of butter on each layer. Then pour cold double cream at least 3/4 through the dish when you’ve reached the end of your layers and serve as an accompaniment to roast lamb or beef or even a steak or ham…too strong for fish…

How about Crab Cakes with a Remoulade Sauce, that is Michelin star worthy? Something refined that Chef Jean Georges or Thomas Keller would be proud to serve....great taste is the primary goal, NOT the perfect plating that they would serve. I always order it when it's on the menu, and usually majorly disappointed. Even my own efforts, I would give myself a grade B. I have had two great crab cakes, one in Half Moon Bay, CA and the other amazingly at the airport in SFO. -- Greetings from Ft.Worth, Texas.
