Chicken Dauphinoise

cookbook_challenge.
From my mother's recipe book.
( Ingredients )
( Method )
Changes, Mistakes and Substitutions
I mis-read the recipe and thought it said 2 old potatoes. Since I was cooking half/third quantities I only bought one potato - though since it was a baking potato I had more or less the right amount. I could not decide whether or not the chicken was supposed to be sliced (in order to make layers). In the end I sliced it. I was very generous with the tarragon, chopping up a good handful. I reduced the cooking time to around 50 minutes and then forgot the final step (though, to be honest, I didn't have a lot of tarragon butter left).
Verdict
I didn't actually have high hopes of this, thinking it would be rather heavy on the cream and potato and probably a bit bland, but actually we really liked it. It wasn't particularly in your face, but it had a nice flavour and didn't feel too heavy at all.
