3 Potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 Celeriac, peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks
960ml Chicken or vegetable stock
750ml pot of Cream
Thyme, basil and/or marjoram (fresh), to taste
Seasoning, to taste
Melt butter in pan.
Slice leeks into 1/4-inch slices and add to pan.
Saute for 5 minutes until golden. Add potatoes and celeriac and saute for 5 minutes. Cover and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in 240ml of stock, cover and continue to cook until potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat.
