"It's not something you're gonna find in a Michelin-star restaurant, it's something you're gonna find in somebody's home" Beautifully said, Chef Jean-Pierre!
Chef i hope you read this . During the last 2 years all i did was watching your videos and i absolutely enjoyed them . I have always liked cooking since i was a kid . But with your great videos and fantastic recipes i finally found what i love to do in my lifetime . I started working in a restaurant about 5 months ago and i improved very fast . I'm now moving to a much better restaurant with a payment i never even thought im going to have . At the end of the day i should not forget who got this interest in me and that person is you chef. Merci❤
You can tell this guy is the real deal, a real Chef, a Chef with decades of experience, decades -- CHEF Jean-Pierre. Too many fake chefs or people that are reading off a script or being told what to say here or on tv. You can tell he doesn’t need any script or whatever.
I agree! If only more people knew about Chef Jean-Pierre no one would have to be subjected to some of the monstrosities Jamie Oliver tries to make 😂 Real chefs are cooks first, not tv stars!
Chef Jean-Pierre, I want to thank you for all your videos. I'm from France and moved to the US... You can imagine the food situation I was into... I never found the courage and was ashamed of not knowing how to cook, since I was blessed with a familly that cooked for me meals I didn't know were unmatchable.... I want to thank you because I never dared asking and I was isolated, but with you I'm able to cook those meals I use to have and it makes my life so much better !! Sincerely love you from the bottom of my heart !! Merci beaucoup l'ami !
J'ai appris à cuisiner à 48 pour une autre raison que la tienne, mais je comprends tout à fait le sentiment d'accomplissement que tu ressens! Je te souhaite de bien t'adapter à ton nouvel environnement.
Absolutely looooove potatoes. This weekend is my dad's 76th birthday. I'm cooking him a roast pork dinner and am going to try and make the limoncello tiramisu for dessert. Fingers crossed 🤞
My favorite moment, is when he caught himself on cleaning the cutting board with his knife while cutting the garlic. It was such a wholesome moment. ❤ Love JP.
growing up my family of 12 (10 kids) didnt have much cheese ... but we did have plenty of milk...my mother was a master at making a meal with a roux and milk and plenty of potatoes. your potato dishes bring back fond memories of family dinners .... even though i was the one who (grumpily) usually peeled the ten pound sack of potatoes. its still hard for me to just peel two or three potatoes. it just never seems enough. LOL
ALWAYS love having family favorite dishes. I'm old enough and we were poor enough that my Mom made essentially every meal we had. None were fancy but ALL were delicious and healthy. I still love remaking some of her recipes and remembering how much I loved her cooking as a child. Thank you for sharing this dish Chef. I want to make it soon.
My wife made this today and it was delicious. We didn’t have cream so just milk and no nutmeg. We’re having steak cookout this weekend and I want this to go with the steaks. Even without cheese it’s delicious. Thank you chef!
Dear Chef Jean-Pierre - it's so much fun to watch you make a "classical recipe" ... and then add this and that 😂! Haven't had a "proper" Gratin Dauphinois in ages as hubby and I like it "à la Diff" - this was many decades ago a great Restaurant in one of Zurich's 1st class hotels and I was often there for business lunches and always ate my beef filet with its "gratin spécial" and the Chef would never reveal the recipe 😒. When I told him that I marry and leave Switzerland he was kind enough to give away the secret 🥰. The sauce is cream, beurre manié , (white wine 🤐), cheese, fresh nutmeg, salt, pepper, thyme or oregano (whichever I have). Preparing it like you do but for cheese lovers I put some sprinkles of cheese on every other layer. Add some vegetable bouillon and then top it with the sauce and cheese and off it goes into the oven. It's time to make one ... 🤣. You always make my evenings relaxed and put a smile and laughter on my face - thanks a lot and big bisous, Eleonora
Chef! I'd love to see a video of you talking about the differences of pots and pans depending what you're cooking! I hear it's difficult to get a good sear from non stick so I'd love to know what the best time to use stainless steel vs non stick vs cast iron, etc. I think that would be really helpful!
Good Morning Chef. I know my day is gonna be amazing when your notification pops up🥰 My mom and I have made this for many years. The only downside is cleaning this pan 🤣. CONGRATULATIONS ON APPROACHING 2 MILLION 🎉. I don't know of any other chef with such an amazing following ! Chef JP fans are the best!!!! Happy Day Friends.
I've always loved potatoes and onyos but you've elevated that love to a new level. I broguht a mandoline just to experience these new recipes myself. Thank you!
Be careful with your mandaline. Its the most dangerous tool in the kitchen. Seriously. Watch some videos before you use it. Its a great tool but demands a lot of respect and attention.
Hi chef, French follower here. My dad used to put thyme in his gratin dauphinois and also he put lardon in it, I always thought it was the traditional way to do it until today hahaha. Great video like always, god bless you
I did it today. 2.5 lbs of Russet potato. A little more than 3 lbs minus some bad parts and skin removed. Dry garlic in the cream. Nutmeg. A big thank about telling me to use a cooking sheet to catch the boiling milk. It would be a mess in the oven! 😁😁😁 Thanks to Jack and you for these videos!!!!
Best Chef on UA-cam. Everything is simple :Child can do this: 😁 The presentation is super fun. I recommended this channel to all my friends. Keep the good work Chef
The look on your face when you tasted and said it reminds you of your mom. For a slight second I could see you as a little boy. It brought tears in my eyes love❤
I absolutely smile when you put out a video. You are my favorite because not only do your shows entertain...your recipes are easy to follow snd the food tastes good.
The smile when you tried it and said it reminded you of your mom. I completely connected to that. I get that look when I bake two kinds of cakes exactly like my mom made them. ❤ I thought you would add butter on top for crust! This is very simple way easier than gratin. If I only had dairy milk I only have oat milk and it won’t be the same unless I melt cream cheese into the milk. Don’t yell at me ppl its called improvising!
Thank you as always Chef. You make me so very happy when I view your cooking and your excitement and pleasure come through. From my earliest memories of Graham Kerr to Jeff Smith and Jacque Pepin the folks who show me GOOD food with a joyful heart are the ones who stand out. As I got older and learned more fiddly cooking recipes and refined techniques it never hurts one iota to make YUMMY food that is simple and delicious. Recipes that stand the test of time demonstrate that food is love quite clearly. Peaceful Skies.
Looks delicious! Two of our favourite methods for preparing potatoes: 1) gratin dauphinois 2) just put them whole into the oven for about 1h (zero work; peel gets very tough unless they're wrapped in aluminium paper), serve with a sauce. I wonder how this recipe compares an even simpler one: slice or dice garlic thin, cut thicker potatoe slices, 2 or 3 layers in a large pan or form, add cold/temperate cream. If you don't put too much cream, all of it gets absorbed and the bottom layer can also get crispy.
Another wonderful dish from you dear mother's kitchen. Yours is one of the few I hit the thumbs up before I even see the video. Love your mother's dishes.
Pomme Dauphinoise has been my secret dinner weapon for years. I often make more than can be consumed in one meal just to have leftovers which I eat the next day for lunch with a green salad. Yummm
Hello friends, I look forward to all Chef Jean Pierre's recipes. I am making these delicious potatoes for my family. They're going to love it! Thank you, Chef Jean-Pierre for sharing your wonderful recipes with us!!
This is the potato gratin that I learned during my cooking apprenticeship. The classic version. She is the real deal and so good. And frech Thyme. You are my Friend Jean Pierre.
Yes!!! He give us the how and more important, the why! So we can improve our skills not only in his recepies but in all our cookings! Why onion first. Etc, etc...
My parents could not cook. My mother’s mother never cooked, so Mom never learned. Dad would make omelets, grilled cheese sandwiches, and “fried bologna” (drop a slice of bologna flat on a hot skillet, watch the bubble rise in the center, then spread mustard on it and eat) - my brother and i loved the occasional nights when Dad would take over! We had no vegetables unless canned peas and carrots count. I did not know food could be good until i got some Chinese while in college. I am absolutely salivating over CFP’s videos.
When I see all those snippets of food, glorious food , in the introduction - the steak especially, my mouth begins to water and I really get hungry....well, I don't think I'm ever really hungry - so, I develop an appetite and with this Potato Gratin Dauphinoise, it's one of the most delicious concoctions ever.
My mom used to make something like this when I was a kid. I've asked her for the recipe, and she gave me a completely different very cheesy potato recipe that is more what she makes now. That one is really good, too, but this I think is more what she used to make 30 years ago. Definitely gonna give this a try!
Okay, we just finished supper and those Dauphinoise potatoes are out of this world. I have a new favorite potato dish. Where have these been all my life? I will definitely be making them again. You are a culinary genius, Chef. Keep the recipes coming!!!
It is eye opening how much flavor, with the right amount of salt and a little fat, a simple potato has. Chef is right on the money. Delicately seasoned, and let the taters shine. It doesn't always have to be a cheese bomb. And I'm glad he used russets. It seems many people turn their noses up to them, but they are Fabulous! Waxy taters have their place, but often a giant fluffy russet is better. Salut, chef!
One of my favorite potato dishes! I always add just a touch of Cayenne with the black pepper and salt and Nutmeg. I am so glad to see Chef says he doesn't like white pepper. I don't like white pepper either! I'll always substitute black for the white and even grind up green peppercorns but I never use white pepper. Also, I don't like to clean the cookie sheets so I use heavy duty foil to completely wrap the gratin dish and I add a layer over the cookie sheet. It doesn't really matter, however, since I always put a layer of foil on top of my racks in the oven anyway. I HATE to have to scrub the oven! ONce again, Chef...great video! Thanks for sharing your talents with all of us!!!
I am reminded of my mother making this when growing up! No cheese or meat. It was wonderful. Really loved it as a side for her baked ham! Great recipe and presentation! Thank you so much! God bless all here.
I made this last night but as Chef says, it's your kitchen, your food, so I changed the recipe up a bit. I added one beaten egg to the cream, used all heavy cream (no milk), added some julienned onions. About 10 minutes before the potatoes were done I uncovered the dish, put some fresh grated parmesan on top and cooked until the potatoes were done and the top was nicely browned. It was delicious and the wife was impressed. Next time, I'll follow Chef's recipe exactly, I just felt like playing with it this time. Thank you Chef JP, you have gotten me enthusiastic about cooking again!
The sweetness of the potato cooked in the oven with full fat milk/cream and a hint of garlic is so subtle and heavenly and this is what makes the gratiin dauphinois so special because it is so simple (I love nutmeg but I think that was not even part of the original recipe). Remember it was a dish created at the time of the French Revolution so ingredients had to be kept simple. Now, gratins you can do of anything you like.
Hello Chef it’s Monday and a potato fun day! I totally admire the way you honor your mother at every moment. I also love and miss my dear mother who is always in my heart . I’m an Armenian heritage man and can tell you that she my mom was an incredible cook of authentic Armenian cuisine at a time when none of today’s conveniences existed yet she took care of raising three kids , a husband and clean and orderly household I miss my mom she was a superwoman! I’m sure you’re and your crew and all moms are superwoman. Now that’s said thank you for one more amazing potato dish. ❤❤❤😀
You’re an absolute legend JP! I just moved to Florida and I’m absolutely amazed at how high the quality of food is here. Thank you for your awesome recipe and big smile!
My three year old granddaughter loves potatoes and now I have a dish to make for her. She also loves helping ‘Papa’ in the kitchen. When shen is old enough to understand directions for cooking, I’m getting her hooked up with Chef JP’s UA-cam channel.
I might add a little chopped onion if I have one open, and maybe grate some cheddar on top. But the basic casserole really needs nothing. I've been eating it since childhood too.
My mother made this weekly and called it scalloped potatoes. The difference is she layered the potatoes, dotted with butter, added salt and pepper in the layers, added chopped cooked ham, then poured the milk over the top. Baked in oven and stirred about every 30 minutes until cooked. Still my favorite dish. And she just put it in a longer casserole dish so there was a lot of room so it didn’t boil over.
I remember from Swedish meatballs, that a subtle addition of "sweet" spices such as nutmeg and allspice, can make all the difference. For my everyday spices for most dishes, I use basil, thyme, and oregano. Love your channel, Chef, keep it coming!
Jean-Pierre, I have been watching your channel for a couple years. I just want to say THANK YOU and keep up the GOOD WORK. I have loved cooking from a very early age and it is one of the few ways that i can love the people around me. Your video work has been instructive, inspiring and game changing for my cooking. I use your recipes, techniques and tools. I really enjoy watching you prepare your food and i have a great time and i have had many laughs as you share your enjoyment enjoyment for what you do!! Once again, Thank you!! If you ever travel through East Texas, my wife and I would love to share a meal with you! John Berry
I have been making mine very similar to this for about 25 years, no cheese lol. I agree it tastes wonderful. Has anyone noticed that there are no like buttons on UA-cam today, only the down buttons?
This is the way I make scalloped potatoes, except no matter how careful I am, the potatoes are thicker as I don't have a mandoline (I'm going to get one now), and I don't peel my potatoes but wash and scrub them well. My mom always used a ton of flour in her scalloped potatos, but I dislike that. I don't even use flour when making cheese sauce for my macaroni and cheese. I'm so glad you showed this. I believe what I call scalloped potatoes isn't scalloped potatoes at all, now that I see this. After all these years, I can put a proper name on it. Lol.
Now imagine that the French (and europe) have only had a few hundred years to do this. Quite remarkable. (Potatoes are a new world food). Peaceful Skies.
Who else eagerly awaits with anticipation every Monday for Chef Jean Pierre to kickstart our week with yet another delicious recipe and a smile?
I do. I was sitting here waiting instead of doing things I need to get done.
You're the best!🙏❤️
I watch with my first cup of coffee! Coffee with Chef!
Gee that sounds like me too! I have things to do but a Chef JP break is always welcome! A great way to continue the day!
@@ChefJeanPierre Thank you. The feeling is mutual
"It's not something you're gonna find in a Michelin-star restaurant, it's something you're gonna find in somebody's home"
Beautifully said, Chef Jean-Pierre!
Chef put a tear in my eye when he said it reminds him of his mom ❤
Same!
Well hello there friends...words we wait eagerly to hear..every week
Absolutely! And sometimes when it's late afternoon and I am feeling worried about the world! I just find a video with those words....❤
Chef i hope you read this .
During the last 2 years all i did was watching your videos and i absolutely enjoyed them .
I have always liked cooking since i was a kid .
But with your great videos and fantastic recipes i finally found what i love to do in my lifetime .
I started working in a restaurant about 5 months ago and i improved very fast .
I'm now moving to a much better restaurant with a payment i never even thought im going to have .
At the end of the day i should not forget who got this interest in me and that person is you chef.
Merci❤
I wish you a fantastic career as a cook.
Take care of you!!!
@@jean-pierreaudet2098 thank you!
Wow that is an inspiring story. Thank you
It’s a great day when @Chef Jean Pierre comes by.
Yes, like an old friend dropping by, to help start my week off to a good start, even if it's thundering and lightning like today. LOL
@@Grimalken1969 And he will back on Thursday. Meaning the weekend is almost here.
He can stop by my house anytime ❤
@@corvettesbme Same here. These potatoes and his meatloaf would make a great menu.
It sure is awesome recipies, and the enthusiasm is contagious.

I do this with alternate layers of onyo and potato. It's my wife's favourite side dish.
Good idea!!!
Thanks sharing!!!
Had this for the first time in our local French restaurant. It is divine in its simplicity. Enjoy it next to roast duck, lamb shanks, filet....
Pomme Dauphinoise has been my secret dinner weapon for years. I often make more than can be consumed in one meal just to have leftovers which I eat the next day for lunch with a green salad. Yummm
Hands down, my favourite kind of potato.
Not a big fan of gratin but I always appreciate your videos. When you said it reminded you of your mother it made me tear up. Really felt that.
Hello friends, I look forward to all Chef Jean Pierre's recipes. I am making these delicious potatoes for my family. They're going to love it! Thank you, Chef Jean-Pierre for sharing your wonderful recipes with us!!
Mondays and Thursdays always make me happy thanks to Chef.
This is the potato gratin that I learned during my cooking apprenticeship. The classic version. She is the real deal and so good. And frech Thyme. You are my Friend Jean Pierre.
I made the gratin over the weekend and it was a complete success. My guests couldn’t believe how good it was. I will try this as well. Thank you Chef
I love when you talk, Chef! Don't stop :)
Chef J.P can take the most complicated recipe and explain it so goofs like me can understand it and make it. Thank you.
Yes!!!
He give us the how and more important, the why! So we can improve our skills not only in his recepies but in all our cookings!
Why onion first. Etc, etc...
Gratin potatoes is my favorite potato dish. I love the family style cooking too!
Thank you 🙏 ❤️
It is so nice to start my Monday with Chef! Thank you!
Thanks Chef John! My mother-in-law is "allergic" to cheese, so this will be a godsend!
Chef Jean-Pierre is the only French chef I've heard say they don't like white pepper. I just love that every cooking rule can be bent to how you like.

It was delicious and the wife was impressed.
Next time, I'll follow Chef's recipe exactly, I just felt like playing with it this time. Thank you Chef JP, you have gotten me enthusiastic about cooking again!
The sweetness of the potato cooked in the oven with full fat milk/cream and a hint of garlic is so subtle and heavenly and this is what makes the gratiin dauphinois so special because it is so simple (I love nutmeg but I think that was not even part of the original recipe). Remember it was a dish created at the time of the French Revolution so ingredients had to be kept simple. Now, gratins you can do of anything you like.
He probably ate the entire thing. Dauphinois c'est merveilleuse!
👍👍👍❤️
Hello Chef it’s Monday and a potato fun day! I totally admire the way you honor your mother at every moment. I also love and miss my dear mother who is always in my heart . I’m an Armenian heritage man and can tell you that she my mom was an incredible cook of authentic Armenian cuisine at a time when none of today’s conveniences existed yet she took care of raising three kids , a husband and clean and orderly household I miss my mom she was a superwoman! I’m sure you’re and your crew and all moms are superwoman. Now that’s said thank you for one more amazing potato dish.
❤❤❤😀
You’re an absolute legend JP! I just moved to Florida and I’m absolutely amazed at how high the quality of food is here.
Thank you for your awesome recipe and big smile!
Such an informative, calming channel. I absolutely love this. And I've never made potatoes au gratin without cheese! Definitely trying this!!
“3/4 cream, 2/4 milk” that’s the secret right there!
Love recipes your mom cooked during your childhood.
Thank you Chef!!!❤️👍
My three year old granddaughter loves potatoes and now I have a dish to make for her. She also loves helping ‘Papa’ in the kitchen. When shen is old enough to understand directions for cooking, I’m getting her hooked up with Chef JP’s UA-cam channel.
I might add a little chopped onion if I have one open, and maybe grate some cheddar on top. But the basic casserole really needs nothing. I've been eating it since childhood too.
My mother made this weekly and called it scalloped potatoes. The difference is she layered the potatoes, dotted with butter, added salt and pepper in the layers, added chopped cooked ham, then poured the milk over the top. Baked in oven and stirred about every 30 minutes until cooked. Still my favorite dish. And she just put it in a longer casserole dish so there was a lot of room so it didn’t boil over.
No cheese. No bacon. No egg. Just a smidgen of butter. Even less of garlic. Intriguing. I must try this!
I remember from Swedish meatballs, that a subtle addition of "sweet" spices such as nutmeg and allspice, can make all the difference. For my everyday spices for most dishes, I use basil, thyme, and oregano. Love your channel, Chef, keep it coming!
It is like "un-mashed" potatoes. I love it.
Beautiful comfort food ❤
Jean-Pierre,
I have been watching your channel for a couple years. I just want to say THANK YOU and keep up the GOOD WORK.

I use your recipes, techniques and tools. I really enjoy watching you prepare your food and i have a great time and i have had many laughs as you share your enjoyment enjoyment for what you do!!
Once again, Thank you!!

I have been making mine very similar to this for about 25 years, no cheese lol. I agree it tastes wonderful.
Has anyone noticed that there are no like buttons on UA-cam today, only the down buttons?
Good men have great mothers.
Thank you my friend.
O yer old school food, Simple and delicious. Bet your mum would be proud.
Ya darn right I'm going to make this.
This is the way I make scalloped potatoes, except no matter how careful I am, the potatoes are thicker as I don't have a mandoline (I'm going to get one now), and I don't peel my potatoes but wash and scrub them well. My mom always used a ton of flour in her scalloped potatos, but I dislike that. I don't even use flour when making cheese sauce for my macaroni and cheese. I'm so glad you showed this. I believe what I call scalloped potatoes isn't scalloped potatoes at all, now that I see this. After all these years, I can put a proper name on it. Lol.
Love to see the dishes that bring back childhood memories.
Thanks chef! And thank god humans have had thousands of years to perfect potato recipes. Mmmm, potatoes.
Now imagine that the French (and europe) have only had a few hundred years to do this. Quite remarkable.
(Potatoes are a new world food).
Peaceful Skies.
