Easy tasty dish . - 14 Jul 2012
This was simple to make & tastes delicious! It's hard to find a good Jerusalem artichoke recipe (esp. one that doesn't require peeling). I substituted non-dairy organic cream-based sauce base for the cream + vegetable stock for both the butter & the chicken stock, to make a vegan version -- turned out great! - 27 Jan 2002 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
Pretty good recipe! I caramelized the onions until they were light brown and tossed in a couple of cloves of garlic when adding the potatoes and artichokes. I thought this added some nice depth. - 09 Apr 2008 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
