Enriched with cream and Gruyère cheese, this hearty gratin is a delicious accompaniment to our Crown Roast of Pork with Calvados Sauce. A mandoline makes fast work of cutting the vegetables into thin, uniform slices.

Ingredients:

  • 1 Tbs. unsalted butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 cups heavy cream
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 lb. parsnips, peeled and sliced 1/8 inch thick
  • 1 lb. sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/8 inch
      thick
  • 1 lb. celery root, peeled and sliced 1/8 inch thick
  • 8 oz. Gruyère cheese, shredded
  • 1 Tbs. minced fresh thyme
  • 3 Tbs. minced fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions:

Preheat an oven to 400°F. Butter a 3-quart baking dish.

In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the cream, salt, pepper and nutmeg and heat just until bubbles form around the edges of the pan, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand for 10 minutes.

Arrange a layer of parsnips, slightly overlapping, in the prepared dish. Arrange a layer of sweet potatoes on top, then a layer of celery root. Pour half of the cream mixture over the celery root, and sprinkle half of the cheese, thyme and parsley on top. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil, place on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour. Remove the foil and lightly press the gratin down with a spatula. Continue baking until the vegetables are tender and the top is golden brown, 15 to 30 minutes more. Let the gratin stand for 15 minutes before serving. Serves 12 to 15.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simply Delicious I made this recipe for Easter dinner, and now my family is begging me to make it for every holiday. Now, I do have picky eaters in the family so I did tweak some things to accommodate them. I used 1 pound of parsnips, 1 pound ofcarrots, 1 pound of russett potatoes, and one half of a Vidalia onion, chopped. I also purchased an 8 oz block of cheddar gruyere instead of just using gruyere. The mandoline certainly helps in preparing this dish, and I followed the advice of previous reviewers and completely prepped and assembled this the day before. It was decadent, flavorful, and out of this world delicious. It easily fed 15 people. I highly recommend this recipe.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Yes, it can be made ahead I’ve made this for four, maybe five, years now. It’s always been a hit (even for those who think they don’t like parsnips or celery root). I’ve done the prep three ways: 1) Day of, as the recipe describes 2) Slicing all root vegetables a day or two in advance, storing them in bowls of water to prevent browning/discoloration, and then assembling the day of (drying them some with paper towels or a salad spinner is ideal) 3) My favorite, assembling the entire dish (the day before) and cooking day of. I have not noticed a difference in the final product, regardless of which method I have used. My other tip is to use a mandoline for the slicing. Saves a ton of time and makes for much more even slices which results in more consistent cooking. Oxo makes an affordable handheld one that I find works just as well as my higher end Japanese style mandoline for this purpose.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Make ahead This is one of my favorite dishes but can it be made ahead at all?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from truly decadent! I made this for Christmas after reading the other reviews. I'm so glad I did--it was wonderful! I left out the celery root and increased the parsnips/sweet potatoes, and everyone loved it. Using a mandoline helped with the prep work, but even without one I would still recommend this--it's worth all the chopping! Granted, it's not the healthiest dish, but if you're looking to impress people with a vegetable dish, this is the way to go.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It's the real sleeper hit I make this for Christmas each year - and while the crown roast is amazing, this dish steals the show. It's lengthy in prep, and if you don't have all the gadgets, your hands hurt from chopping. But in the end... it's so worth it.
