Potato and Celeriac Gratin

[mcmich]

Trying to catch up on lost time JD. My Thermomix is arriving tomorrow evening, so maybe more cooking and less forum time.

Oh I don't know about that - once you start cooking you will want to tell us what you have done

Great recipe! I had a celeriac lurking around the fridge and instead of doing my usual celeriac remoulade I tried this one and it is great, especially for my children as they won't eat celeriac on its own but dont seem to notice when it is cooked  in this way.
The only problem is whenever I'm grating or using my mandolin for anything I'm always accident prone and end up using up half a pack of band aids! As I don't ever use my food processor since buying my Thermomix, it seems such a hassle to drag it out of the cupboard and have to clean it again purely to slice and grate things.

Merlin, the TMX does make it easy.  Quite an acceptable result.  Glad the kids liked it .

I made this tonight. I have been waiting for celeriac to come in season to make this recipe. I substituted cream for 60% less fat philly cooking cream to reduce the fat content. I also didn't read the recipe properly and put all 4 cloves of garlic in with the onion. I wish I had of read the recipe properly in the first place and seen how long it takes to cook. However it was awesome. We definitely loved this dish and it will become a regular for us.

The photo shows burnt around the edges - I served this up with dinner and when eating it found some parts where not properly cooked through. I put it back in the oven to finish cooking and that's when the edges burnt. It definitely needs the hour of cooking time.

Thanks for another great recipe.

Me too! I got a 2 pack last week at Hilton fresh for $2.99. They were a bit small but plenty for the recipe. We will be eating it for the next as the recipe makes heaps.

Hilton Fresh, know the name, cant think where it is.

Was in Limes  yesterday & didnt see any there, found tarragon though

I often get celeriac in W in willagee and the vege shop in wray ave Fremantle (always fresh and really cheap veg). Hilton Fresh is across the road from Hilton IGA on south street.

We had this for dinner tonight and we both enjoyed it.  A nice change to just potato gratin.
I used sour cream instead of cream, as that's what I had in the fridge.

Thanks Chookie

Katiej,  glad you liked it.  should be OK with sour cream.

Could replace the celeriac with leek,  for those who are having trouble buying celeriac.

Made this with potatoes and leek.  Baking in the oven now...
