Peel the potatoes and chop into 2cm (¾ inch) cubes. Peel the onion and chop roughly. Scrub the carrots and chop into 2cm pieces.
Heat the oil in a large pan and add the onions, carrots and potatoes. Coat with oil. Cover and saute for 5 minutes, until the onions are starting to soften. Note- this helps bring out the sweetness and counteract the pungence of the celeriac.
Add the celeriac, the bay leaf and the stock. Cover and simmer for 15 / 20 minutes, until the vegetables are soft.
