Real French gratin dauphinois
The most French way to use potatoes. The name translates as "Dauphin style gratin", and the heir to the throne was called the Dauphin, which hints at the high origin of the dish. In fact, the ingredients are elementary - potatoes, cream, butter. You can also add cheese - but this would be a departure from the Parisian canon. Gratin is usually served as a side dish with fine French dishes such as stewed duck leg or steak. But it is quite worthy of the role of a self-sufficient hot dish.
