I’m French & it’s called “Un Gratin Dauphinois”! 🥰 Lovely recipe. Usually we pre-cook the potatoes in milk and then transfer into the oven! Adding some nutmeg would be delicious too 😊
Thank you for this comment! I’ve been wanting to work my way through Mastering the Art of French Cooking, and now I can start with this dish because I was already planning to make scalloped potatoes. Julia’s recipe only calls for pouring boiling milk over the potatoes before putting them in the oven; I’m guessing that’s so one can achieve a more fancy, rather than rustic, presentation. Oddly enough, her recipe seems easier than Natasha’s, who has become my go-to recipe source over the past 18 months.
Regardless of what language used to describe the recipe, this lady clearly offers the best recipe , together with that pleasant personality and truthful preference for what is liked . Highly recommended 👍.
Gratin refers to the toasted cheese crust over a dish, or a dish where the gratin is the star like potato gratin or cauliflower au gratin. The French verb "gratiner" means to broil cheese to get it golden and somewhat crisp. It can also be used when you have a dish smothered with béchamel sauce that you place under a broiler to get golden too, but it usually involves cheese. And cheese is always better. Cheese is the best, I'm with you on this! :D It's really hard to explain how to pronounce gratin to a non-French speaker, because the sound "in" in French is basically a vowel sound. The combination of an "n" with a vowel in French usually (but not always because French is overly complicated) transforms the combination into a new vowel-sound without equivalent in English. So yeah, just pronouce it like you do in the video, you're just as close as it gets. :) As for Gruyère, you're bang on. I would say to someone who isn't sure to pronounce it like grue-yair, as you do. Enough with the French lesson! This recipe looks absolutely scrumptious, and I'm gonna try it for sure. Thanks for all those gorgeous recipe you share with us, and have a nice Veteran's day.
I'm glad you posted this as Au Gratin Potatoes are without a doubt, my favourite side dish. I love your recipes because they work perfectly for me first time, every time and I'm slowly trying them all. Great video. Keep up the good work.
I like the idea of no cheese. I think the milk, butter, and cream is enough with onion. Also, onion options could include shallots, or green or red onions. By skipping the cream one would lighten the dish if desired. Finally, adding nutmeg like you would pepper, is the finishing touch to the flavor. Thanks for sharing your story.
Looks so good, can't wait to try this! Sharkie is following behind you at 4:19, right next to the cutting board. Also at 6:18, behind you as you cut the chives :)
This recipe is excellent. The first time I made it, it came out perfect. Everyone loves it. Cannot recommend more highly. I used a mandoline to slice the potatoes. Whatever you use make sure the potatoes are sliced thin (1/8 in.) and evenly. They'll cook through and through. Thank you Natasha!
Nice delicious segment you did the recipe just perfect and saying the name is about it's just like what everybody else Sharky is on your dress he has the same color of it skin God bless you and your family God bless America and the world God bless the little children and keep them safe it's always fun watching your show love you all👍🙏🇺🇸
Yum. Haven’t had these in years, must try. Sharky swam by after you said that’s why you love a food processor and walked away to put the potato slices aside and again peeking from behind your head garnishing eith chives .
There are a lot of other versions of this dish online or on the internet or on youtube. But I like this version, easy and simple to follow and it's very tasty and flavourful. My friends like it a lot. And me, too. Thank you Natasha for another winning recipe. You're the best "cooker," like what your daughter said. Hahaha.
Hey Natasha!! I've never made this from scratch. I feel so much better when doing so. My family and friends love your recipes. Only my mother knows it's from you. Lol. The rest just loves what I cook. I can't wait to see what's in store for us next week.
Ok, I just made but had no greyure. Used a good quality cheddar and added imported smoked paprika from Spain to the sauce and a sprinkle over the top. When I say this took this over the top I am not kidding. Beyond delectable. Soo good! Thank you Natasha!
Gratin of potatoes or potatoes in gratin. Not AU gratin potatoes. Au = at the. Gratin refers to the crust created on the top of the dish when it’s cooked. The crust is the gratin. Scalloped refers to the fact that a dish is cooked in sauce with breadcrumbs on top. I often hear « sautéed » too in cooking channels… ÉE in French is a past participle for feminine singular words. Adding a d is putting an English past participle on a French word already put in its past participle. Sautées potatoes: É (past participle) + E (feminine) + S (plural) Sautés mushrooms: no E because mushroom is a masculine word. Et voilà 😉
I made this to go with dinner tonight and we both loved it. I used the food processor to slice the potatoes using the 4mm blade, extra sharp cheddar bcuz I didn't have gruyere, and held back the salt a bit being that my mom has a heart condition and is trying to stay low-sodium. Turned out wayyy delicious! Thanks, Nat! 😊
oh man that looks soooo good. will have to try your recipe. have a great day. (and by the way, i do love to cook. my wife said after 35 years of cooking she was done...lol had to learn and 10 years later i love to cook a lot of things.) 😍😍😍🤩🤩
Can't wait to make this. I haven't made a sauce like this before. Gruyere is a great idea and bet so so delicious. I have always used a knife and mandolin to get thin slices but the food processor looks like a great way to do this and with the adjustable slice thickness as a bonus. It looks like the food processor is sharky's favorite also. He hated you putting it away.
@@Natashaskitchen Oops! No I didn’t! Will have to watch more closely next time. I’m so excited to try this recipe. I always make dauphinoise potatoes for our Christmas Eve dinner. (Baked ham, potatoes, green veg) The kids travel to us for Christmas and arrive at different times on Christmas Eve. Your recipe looks yummier than mine. Can’t wait to try it out!
I LOVE that you use scissors for the chives! I always do that to my green onions when I don't feel like pulling out my cutting board and knife. When I worked at Costco as a sample girl, I was taught " scissors are your friend" when cooking.
Another supper easy and supper yummy recipe ... a must try ... for sure... thanks for always giving us amazing recipes ....💙🍽🍷💯 Am i right i saw 🐬 twice or just hallucinating.. hahaha
For some reason, RU-vid recommended a video of yours. Then I watched a few. Now I'm hooked on Natashas Kitchen. I learned you and your husband are Ukrainian, as am I - Slava Ukraini!
Food processors are different here in France. I haven’t found one that I like. I use a mandolin. It seems that Sharky is chasing the food processor! Also…your Dutch oven looks lovely. Mine is not so clean.
This is great. I highly recommend using sautéed onions till translucent and 3-4 cloves of garlic cooked till fragrant instead of onion and garlic powder.
I spotted Sharky!!! As you were putting the food processor away he followed you, in front of your cutting board. This looks soooo good Natasha. Thanks again for another great recipe. You're the best!!!!
Pomme de terre gratiné or pomme de terre au gratin. My mom used to make it all the time when I was little and I make it too sometimes now. It’s really good 🥰
Made this last night. Used Swiss cheese with some sharp white Cheddar and whatever else was open. Add a can of Spam. If the sauce looks too thin, it's about right. Mine thickened as it cooled when the potatoes were add. Takes a loooong time for the potatoes in the middle to get cooked (about 2 hrs.) Next time I'll start it at higher temp for the first 20 min or so, then give it a stir after about an hour. Great comfort food.
Perfect potatoes addition here Natasha 🧡 Just in time for Thanksgiving & chives in our fridge. Your safety steps are awesome & helpful. And your step by step video has made me feel confident to trying this. Sharkey came out over your shoulder with you & food processor. Love following you 💛. Wish you & sweet, Blessed family a Happy Thanksgiving
Spotted Sharky twice! Cute how he followed you out with your food processor and when you were cutting the chives! Thanks for the delicious recipe! I love watching your videos because you explain all the steps so well!
My recipe has nutmeg in it, also I use shredded parmeson cheese half and half and whipping cream had it for Thanksgiving and all was eaten everyone loved it.
I love your videos. Everything looks so simple to make. I love augratin potatoes. Never made them before but I'm going to give it a try now. And sharky was over your shoulder.
Hey there! I really enjoyed watching your video on Au Gratin Potatoes - Easy Scalloped Potatoes. The recipe was so delicious and easy to follow, and I'm sure that my family would love it too! Thanks for sharing this great recipe with us!
