Wash and scrub the potatoes. Peel them and slice them to a thickness of approximately ⅛ inch.
1 kg Potatoes
Slice the onion into ⅛ inch thickness, and loosen the rings slightly.
1 medium white onion
Grease a baking dish with unsalted butter.
1 tsp unsalted butter
Begin layering the sliced potatoes and onions in the greased baking dish, arranging them in a single layer without overlapping too much. Repeat this process until you have used all the potatoes and onions.
1 kg Potatoes, 1 medium white onion
Pour the infused cream mixture over the layered potatoes and onions, making sure it seeps into the crevices.
1 tsp unsalted butter, 300 ml double cream, 150 ml milk, 3 cloves garlic, ½ tsp nutmeg, salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper
Sprinkle a generous amount of grated cheddar cheese over the top.
50 g cheddar cheese
Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (390°F).
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated air fryer basket. Bake for 30-40 minutes. Check the potatoes for tenderness by piercing them with a knife.
Remove the foil, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, and continue air frying for another 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and turned a beautiful golden brown.
Remove the Potato Dauphinoise from the air fryer basket and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Garnish with fresh thyme and serve.
2 sprigs of thyme
