Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put potatoes, fennel, and garlic in a medium non-stick pan. Pour in milk and double cream, season well and simmer gently, covered, for 10 mins, stirring halfway through, until potatoes are just tender.

  • step 2

    Divide the mixture between 2 small (about 150ml) buttered ramekins and scatter with parmesan. Bake for 40 mins until the potatoes are golden and tender when pierced with a knife. Snip the reserved fennel fronds over before serving.

Absolutely gorgeous recipe. Trying it with Greek yoghurt next time!

question

Can you use fennel seeds instead of fresh fennel ?

Thanks for your question. Fennel seeds have a stronger flavour and also would reduce the quantity of the recipe. However, we do have an entire recipe collection devoted to Dauphinoise if you'd like an alternative: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/collection/dauphinoise

Doubled up the recipe and cooked as a whole and not individual portions. It received lots of praise and was the ideal side to our Easter dinner. Will definitely have again.

question

If I doubled the recipe and put in one ceramic dish (I don't have ramekins) would this affect the cooking time?

Thanks for your question. Adding 10 - 15 minutes should be enough. Check the potatoes are golden and tender as you would for the individual sized ones.

This is lovely. OK so we adore fennel in this house, plus potatoes, cheese and cream what could go wrong?! Served with cured salmon with preserved lemons and gin (also found here) perfect!!
