Gratin Of Parsley Root And Parsnips Dauphinoise Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Peel the parsnips, parsley root and potatoes and slice them very thin (the slicing can be done with a food processor).
• Lightly butter a shallow glass or enamel cast-iron baking dish of one-and-a-half-quart capacity and rub it with the crushed clove of garlic. Discard the garlic.
• Layer the vegetable slices in the dish, seasoning with salt and pepper as you go. Top with butter cut in small pieces and pour on just enough cream to moisten the vegetables.
• Cover loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake another 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. If they get too dry add more cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F with a rack in upper third of oven.
• Peel potatoes and thinly cut into 1/8 inch thick slices, using slicer if desired.
• Discard dark green part of leek and halve white and light green part lengthwise. Rinse layers under running water to remove any dirt and grit and pat dry. Thinly slice crosswise.
• Stir together white pepper and nutmeg with 1 3/4 teaspoons salt in a small bowl. Melt butter in a small heavy saucepan over medium-low heat and cook leek and garlic, stirring frequently, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Spread leek and butter mixture evenly in bottom of baking dish. Arrange one quarter of potatoes in a slightly overlapping layer over leeks, then pour 1/2 cup milk over potatoes, and sprinkle lightly with 1/2 teaspoon salt mixture. Layer potatoes with milk and salt mixture three more times in same manner.
• Place dish on a shallow baking pan and cover with foil. Bake until potatoes are almost tender, about 1 hour.
• Remove foil and pour cream over potatoes. Continue to bake, uncovered, until cream has been absorbed by potatoes and top is golden in spots, 30 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large buttered gratin dish, arrange the slices of potato and celery root, adding a little butter, salt and pepper to each row as you go. Top with cream, salt and pepper and cook until the vegetables are tender and the top has lightly browned (about 45 minutes).
