      She is generally irritated by how much more complicated using all the "new" things makes it. Increases the time for her too. For example using a double boiler takes much longer than "her way". But she demonstrated it and others for the audience.

    @5:15 Some of the instructions are missing from this recipe, so here is the recipe from the original "Mastering the Art of French Cooking"
    Gratin de Pommes de Terre et Saucisson,
    [Gratin of Potatoes, Onions, and Sausages]
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
    Cook the onions slowly in butter for 5 minutes or so, until tender but not browned.
    Cut the potatoes in slices.
    Drop potatoes in boiling salted water and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until barely done. Drain thoroughly.
    (remember, if you leave the potatoes in the hot water, *they will keep cooking*, so you need to drain them right after cooking them.)
    Butter the baking dish.
    Spread half the potatoes in the bottom, then half the cooked onions.
    Over them lay the sliced uncooked Polish sausage, then the rest of the onions, and finally the remaining potatoes.
    Pour the eggs and cream, or the bechamel sauce, over the potatoes and shake dish to send liquid to bottom.
    Spread on the cheese. Dribble on the oil, or dot with
    the butter.
    (.) May be prepared ahead of time to this point.
    Bake for 30 to 40 minutes in upper third of oven until top is nicely browned.
    Enjoy! :D

You'd clean them with toothpicks & Qtips such, at least I did. Anyway watching Julia cook & teach SURE makes me hungry! I love th fact she uses ALL the bad things "experts" told us were shouldn't use, butter, cream, milk & lots of good meats. I think when Paula Deen came along later people were SO snobby about her Southern cooking which also called for these essential ingredients. But they make the best tasting foods- no doubt about it. And seems to me "experts" regarding diets haven't made the general population ANY healthier. 😅

      Let me just say Julia Child was an Icon and SNL wouldn’t have done what they did to pay homage to her the way they did. My mom grew up on JC and other chefs and became inspired. She was a single mother making us crepes in the morning in the 1970’s. I grew up with great food and it lead me to cooking at a young age. I began working in restaurants at 13 years old and did so all through high school and college where I became a head line cook and training chef for a well established west coast foodservice chain. I literally trace my food heritage back to Julia Child.

    a good quiche with potatoes uses grated potatoes as the shell and stuff with the things you want ...
    .
    the taters get grated and mixed with flour and an egg (use some of the beaten eggs from the inside fixings) ... line the dish with the grated taters and the fill with your ingredients ... then you cook it in the oven and poof a full breakfast ... goes excellent with left over steak and sausages or burgers ... and mixed veggies ... of course eggs

    I never made a dauphionois that took 25 minutes, maybe my potatoes were waxier, I used a ceramic baking dish, or my potatoes were thicker. Also, every oven is different. I am not criciticizing Julia at all, that's just my experience with dauphinois and it can get discouraging when you bite into half-raw potatoes instead of the creamy gratin.
    I highly recommend that you count in up to 50 minutes with unboiled potatoes so that your guests don't have to wait and your steak will not get cold. Just in case, you can check in between. A little bite in the potatoes is great, but not too much. It's easier to keep the dauphinois warm than the steak perfect.

    I've never considered potatoes aa vegetable...only a starch. I guess that shows a generation gap.

    Seems she had a cold that day. Either she took too much Benadryl or hit the bottle before she started cooking.

      I don't notice anything different about her voice. And while she loved wine, she never would have shown up for a segment taping under the influence. She was a queen of moderation.

    The sausage and potato dish? Sweet potato and sausage. Seriously, pork cries out for sweet potato

      Yes but yams weren't as common then except for sweetened to death and topped with marshmallows for Thanksgiving, often using CANNED sweet potatoes.
      That whole trend of sweet potatoes in place of white potatoes is fairly recent, only since the millennium. You can make all kinds of fun variations on these using those though!
