This recipe makes six to eight servings unless you have to feed someone who eats a lot in one sitting, then it would be only two!

Question

Can you freeze Dauphinoise potatoes and if so, at what stage?

Community Answer

Considering that milk likes to sadly separate once the milk proteins freeze, vacuum-seal and freeze after Step 3. Thaw, then continue with Step Four when ready to complete the preparation. If you have used canned evaporated milk and/or cream instead of milk, then prepare the entire recipe and then freeze. Cream doesn't separate or get yucky once it thaws out.

Question

Can you keep it prepared in the fridge overnight and cook it the next day?

Community Answer

Yes. However, the instant freshness of just cooked gratin dauphinoise might be reduced. It will be good nonetheless.

Question

Will the milk curdle?

Community Answer

It is possible it might curdle if the handling is not clean. Otherwise, the milk won't curdle when there's no citrus (lemon, etc.) item added to it. Some dishes stay without curdling even when those are not added. Handle it as cleanly as possible with washed hands, containers and right temperature.

Question

Can I substitute the potatoes for zucchini, the milk for cashew milk, the thyme for taco seasoning, the salt for sugar, the gruyère for gorgonzola, garlic powder for mayo, the bay leaf for mayo?

Community Answer

You can try. However, it won't be anything like gratin dauphinoise. It sounds tasty though!

Question

Can I make and cook this dish the day before?

Community Answer

Yes. However, it may lack the instant freshness and tenderness of freshly cooked gratin dauphinoise. It will heat up fine though.
