Celeriac, Salmon and Potato Dauphinoise
This rich creamy dauphinoise is largely inspired by a Swedish dish called Laxpudding. Please let me know if you have heard of this before-not many people have! A simple dauphinoise made with potatoes, cream, butter, salt and pepper is one of my absolutely favourite dinner party side dishes as it goes perfectly with so much, particularly lamb but has a certain amount of aplomb when it comes to the table…
