Instructions
Preheat oven to 180°c - 350°f.
In a saucepan, add the thickened cream, unsalted butter, minced garlic, roughly chopped thyme & seasoning to taste. Place over medium-high heat, stir to combine & heat until just hot. Don't allow it to simmer or boil.
Neatly lay ⅓ of the sliced potatoes into a 26cm x 18cm baking dish, completely covering the bottom. Pour over ⅓ or 200ml of the cream mix, sprinkle with ⅓ of the cheese mix & season to taste. Repeat 2 more times to create 3 layers. Don't cover the final layer with cheese. Reserve the remaining ⅓ of cheese mix for later on.
Place a sheet of parchment paper over the top and cover the baking dish with aluminium foil. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Carefully remove the aluminum foil & parchment paper, cover with remaining cheese mix & bake for a further 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown & has formed a crust. Remove & let cool for 15 to 20 minutes (this will make it easier to slice).
Slice the dauphinoise into 6-8 portions, carefully scoop it out & serve as a side with all of your favourite proteins or salads. Dig in.
