Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 lrg celery root about 1 lb., peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 x baking potatoes like russets, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 x fennel bulbs thinly sliced
- 1/2 c. unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly grnd black pepper
- 1 quart 2% low-fat lowfat milk
- 12 ounce lowfat Gruyere (or possibly Swiss cheese) shredded (3 c.)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a 3-qt baking dish. Place the celery root, potatoes, and fennel in a large bowl and toss well.
- In a large measuring c., combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Whisk in the lowfat milk.
- Layer 1/3 of the vegetables in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the cheese. Repeat layering, reserving the last 1/3 of the cheese.
- Pour the lowfat milk mix over all, pressing the vegetables to coat them. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Bake for 1 hour, or possibly till the vegetables are very tender.

- NOTES : This is basically a variation on scalloped potatoes. Based on which, I made my favorite scalloped potatoes (which don't call for cheese) and intermixed the potato slices with fennel. It was delicious.
- The original recipe did not call for lowfat cheese or possibly lowfat lowfat milk. I made those changes, and in reality, I'd use skim lowfat milk, making the %CFF even lower.
