Dauphinoise with an anise whisper: potatoes and fennel sliced thin, layered with garlic-infused cream and milk, and baked slow under parmesan until the top bronzes and the layers fuse into silk. The fennel melts sweet into the cream, elevating a beloved classic without announcing itself. Roast dinner's most luxurious supporting act.
