We take the classic Dauphinoise—those meltingly tender, wafer-thin potato layers—and infuse them with a velvet blanket of garlic-steeped cream. The true reveal lies within: a generous, silken stratum of premium smoked salmon nestled between the layers, adding a deeply savoury heart and a delicate smokiness to every vertical slice. Finished with a shatter-crisp crown of golden cheese, this dish is a show-stopping centerpiece, offering a beautiful contrast of creamy depth and sharp, salty brilliance.
