The First Gratin Potatoes Ever Made! | Chef Jean-Pierre

Hello There Friends! Potato Gratin Dauphinoise is a classic French baked potato dish that is both simple and elegant. This creamy, garlicky, and delicious potato bake is perfect for family dinners or special occasions. Unlike many modern variations, this traditional recipe does not include cheese, allowing the rich flavors of the potatoes, cream, and subtle hints of garlic and nutmeg to shine.

I do. I was sitting here waiting instead of doing things I need to get done.

Chef i hope you read this . During the last 2 years all i did was watching your videos and i absolutely enjoyed them . I have always liked cooking since i was a kid . But with your great videos and fantastic recipes i finally found what i love to do in my lifetime . I started working in a restaurant about 5 months ago and i improved very fast . I'm now moving to a much better restaurant with a payment i never even thought im going to have . At the end of the day i should not forget who got this interest in me and that person is you chef. Merci❤

You can tell this guy is the real deal, a real Chef, a Chef with decades of experience, decades -- CHEF Jean-Pierre. Too many fake chefs or people that are reading off a script or being told what to say here or on tv. You can tell he doesn’t need any script or whatever.

I agree! If only more people knew about Chef Jean-Pierre no one would have to be subjected to some of the monstrosities Jamie Oliver tries to make 😂 Real chefs are cooks first, not tv stars!

[@HabsRealFan]

My favorite moment, is when he caught himself on cleaning the cutting board with his knife while cutting the garlic. It was such a wholesome moment. ❤ Love JP.

[@BertrandBarraud]

Chef Jean-Pierre, I want to thank you for all your videos. I'm from France and moved to the US... You can imagine the food situation I was into... I never found the courage and was ashamed of not knowing how to cook, since I was blessed with a familly that cooked for me meals I didn't know were unmatchable.... I want to thank you because I never dared asking and I was isolated, but with you I'm able to cook those meals I use to have and it makes my life so much better !! Sincerely love you from the bottom of my heart !! Merci beaucoup l'ami !

[@jean-pierreaudet2098]

J'ai appris à cuisiner à 48 pour une autre raison que la tienne, mais je comprends tout à fait le sentiment d'accomplissement que tu ressens! Je te souhaite de bien t'adapter à ton nouvel environnement.

Absolutely looooove potatoes. This weekend is my dad's 76th birthday. I'm cooking him a roast pork dinner and am going to try and make the limoncello tiramisu for dessert. Fingers crossed 🤞

[@ChefJeanPierre]

If you want to save some time, you can always buy the ladyfingers already made! 😊

[@stella.r2708]

@@ChefJeanPierre where's the fun in that? 😀

[@ESO529]

Dear Chef Jean-Pierre - it's so much fun to watch you make a "classical recipe" ... and then add this and that 😂! Haven't had a "proper" Gratin Dauphinois in ages as hubby and I like it "à la Diff" - this was many decades ago a great Restaurant in one of Zurich's 1st class hotels and I was often there for business lunches and always ate my beef filet with its "gratin spécial" and the Chef would never reveal the recipe 😒. When I told him that I marry and leave Switzerland he was kind enough to give away the secret 🥰. The sauce is cream, beurre manié , (white wine 🤐), cheese, fresh nutmeg, salt, pepper, thyme or oregano (whichever I have). Preparing it like you do but for cheese lovers I put some sprinkles of cheese on every other layer. Add some vegetable bouillon and then top it with the sauce and cheese and off it goes into the oven. It's time to make one ... 🤣. You always make my evenings relaxed and put a smile and laughter on my face - thanks a lot and big bisous, Eleonora

[@racey1979]

I always like the video even before I watch because it’s not possible to not like a CJP video ❤

[@birbluv9595]

Me too!

[@MauricioOsuna-et8et]

My grandma used to make the simpler version of this quite frequently. Never disappointed.

[@g3everex]

My wife made this today and it was delicious. We didn’t have cream so just milk and no nutmeg. We’re having steak cookout this weekend and I want this to go with the steaks. Even without cheese it’s delicious. Thank you chef!

[@mariaholman1407]

growing up my family of 12 (10 kids) didnt have much cheese ... but we did have plenty of milk...my mother was a master at making a meal with a roux and milk and plenty of potatoes. your potato dishes bring back fond memories of family dinners .... even though i was the one who (grumpily) usually peeled the ten pound sack of potatoes. its still hard for me to just peel two or three potatoes. it just never seems enough. LOL

[@paulhogan8017]

I do this with alternate layers of onyo and potato. It's my wife's favourite side dish.

[@jean-pierreaudet2098]

Good idea!!! Thanks sharing!!!

[@peggylocke1016]

Good Morning Chef. I know my day is gonna be amazing when your notification pops up🥰 My mom and I have made this for many years. The only downside is cleaning this pan 🤣.

ALWAYS love having family favorite dishes. I'm old enough and we were poor enough that my Mom made essentially every meal we had. None were fancy but ALL were delicious and healthy. I still love remaking some of her recipes and remembering how much I loved her cooking as a child. Thank you for sharing this dish Chef. I want to make it soon.

Be careful with your mandaline. Its the most dangerous tool in the kitchen. Seriously. Watch some videos before you use it. Its a great tool but demands a lot of respect and attention.

[@ndjubilant8391]

Me too, I just bought a mandoline. Going to make this recipe first

[@ndjubilant8391]

​@@christianpoirier493thank you

[@Allazander]

I made this last night but as Chef says, it's your kitchen, your food, so I changed the recipe up a bit. I added one beaten egg to the cream, used all heavy cream (no milk), added some julienned onions. About 10 minutes before the potatoes were done I uncovered the dish, put some fresh grated parmesan on top and cooked until the potatoes were done and the top was nicely browned. It was delicious and the wife was impressed. Next time, I'll follow Chef's recipe exactly, I just felt like playing with it this time. Thank you Chef JP, you have gotten me enthusiastic about cooking again!

I did it today. 2.5 lbs of Russet potato. A little more than 3 lbs minus some bad parts and skin removed. Dry garlic in the cream. Nutmeg. A big thank about telling me to use a cooking sheet to catch the boiling milk. It would be a mess in the oven! 😁😁😁 Thanks to Jack and you for these videos!!!!

Thanks Chef John! My mother-in-law is "allergic" to cheese, so this will be a godsend!

The smile when you tried it and said it reminded you of your mom. I completely connected to that. I get that look when I bake two kinds of cakes exactly like my mom made them. ❤ I thought you would add butter on top for crust! This is very simple way easier than gratin. If I only had dairy milk I only have oat milk and it won’t be the same unless I melt cream cheese into the milk. Don’t yell at me ppl its called improvising!

My parents could not cook. My mother’s mother never cooked, so Mom never learned. Dad would make omelets, grilled cheese sandwiches, and “fried bologna” (drop a slice of bologna flat on a hot skillet, watch the bubble rise in the center, then spread mustard on it and eat) - my brother and i loved the occasional nights when Dad would take over! We had no vegetables unless canned peas and carrots count. I did not know food could be good until i got some Chinese while in college. I am absolutely salivating over CFP’s videos.

Chef! I have a special request. Please show us how to cook liver, particularly beef liver! I see it cheap at my market, and I know it's crazy good for you - but I'm afraid of making it cause I've never made it before. I know it's a little old fashioned, but some people love it - if anyone can make it nice it's you.

[@FromG2eminor]

I just bought some and ate some the other day for the first time. The scent when it's cooking is horrendous! My mom hates the texture and flavor. I will get used to it. but you can mix a little in ground beef. That may help. But if chef shows us I know it will be a success! P.s. you only need a small amount every few days. I read it has tons of vitamin A and too much can cause problems.

[@LatonyaWright]

Another easy and great recipe--Chef JP does it again! This looks really good, and thanks for the suggestions on what to have with this (steak/chicken). Would you have any interest in walking us through thinking about a menu in a future video? What kinds of foods pair well with what, etc.?

[@errollaurie]

Chef! I'd love to see a video of you talking about the differences of pots and pans depending what you're cooking! I hear it's difficult to get a good sear from non stick so I'd love to know what the best time to use stainless steel vs non stick vs cast iron, etc. I think that would be really helpful!

I had this for the first time in a French/Belgian restaurant in our town and absolutely loved the simplicity yet wonderful taste.

Many, many years of looking at different recipes and trying them out (literally had sleepless nights over it) I finally found the perfect way to make it. The dish looks easy to make but make no mistake… it’s not!!! A light sprinkle of grated Gruyère between every other layer takes the dish to the next level 😉
