Instructions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 320°F (160°C). Rub the baking dish with the halved garlic clove, then lightly butter it.
  2. 2
    Bring cream and milk to a boil with crushed garlic cloves. Stir in salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Simmer for 5 minutes over low heat, remove garlic.
  3. 3
    Melt cannabis butter and regular butter (max 140°F/60°C — do not brown!).
  4. 4
    Do NOT wash potato slices — the starch is important for binding.
  5. 5
    Layer: Arrange potato slices overlapping in the dish, lightly salt, drizzle cannabis butter mixture on top. Repeat until all potatoes are used.
  6. 6
    Pour the cream mixture evenly over the final layer — it should reach almost to the top.
  7. 7
    Bake for 75 minutes at 320°F (160°C). The gratin is done when the cream is completely absorbed and the surface is golden and glossy.
  8. 8
    Let rest for 15 minutes before serving — the gratin will set and portion cleanly.

Pro Tips

  • 320°F (160°C) instead of 400°F (200°C): Slow baking makes the difference — potato starch binds the cream.
  • Melt cannabis butter at 140°F (60°C), no hotter — it distributes evenly between layers.
  • Do NOT soak potatoes in water after slicing — the starch binds the sauce.
  • Authentic Dauphinois has no cheese — the cream-potato combination is complete on its own.
