Gratin dauphinois is a great classic of French gastronomy. It can be eaten as a side dish (with grilled meats in summer, for example) or as a main course with a salad. You can also prepare a lactose-free gratin dauphinois !
The secret of the gratin's melt-in-the-mouth texture lies in the reaction that occurs during cooking between the starch in the potatoes and the mixture of cream and milk. The gratin must be melt-in-the-mouth but the potatoes must remain firm. And it works really well with plant-based milk and cream!
How do you make a good lactose-free gratin dauphinois?
Step 1 - Ingredients :
For 4 people:
- 1 kg firm-fleshed potatoes.
- 1 clove of garlic.
- 40 cl oat milk
- 40 cl cream of oatmeal.
- Lactose-free margarine.
- 1/2 nutmeg.
- Black pepper.
- Salt.
Stage 2 - preparation :
- Preheat your oven to 150°c.
- Peel the potatoes and rinse them in clean water. Cut them into thin slices with a knife or a mandolin. Do not put the potatoes back into the water once they have been sliced.
- Rub a baking dish with the halved garlic clove and brush the dish with margarine. Lay the potatoes flat in the dish in several layers.
- In a bowl, mix the oat milk, oat cream, grated nutmeg, two grindings of black pepper and a pinch of salt.
- Cover the potatoes with the cream and milk mixture. You should just see small potato wedges sticking out.
- Bake in the oven for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. To check the cooking time, plunge a sharp knife into the heart of the gratin, it should sink in without resistance.
- You can prepare the dish in advance and reheat it for 20 minutes at 150°c before serving.
Step 3 - treat yourself! 😋
