This recipe is really good. I didn't think it was excellent, but definately very good.

This was quite good, but unlike the previous reviewers, I didn't think it was great. I may have been spoiled by the Smitten Kitchen roasted cauliflower tart: http://www.cookbooker.com/recipe/2227/cauliflower-and-carmelized-onion-tart, which is amazing.
Yes, they are two different recipes, of course, but I think this one would be improved by taking some cues from the other: roasting the cauliflower ahead of time instead of simply sauteeing it (much better flavor), maybe experimenting with different cheeses. We also had some crust issues - it has a tendency to get quite burned if it sticks up too much out of the pie.

Delicious! This recipe isn't difficult, but it does take a long time. The grated potato and onion crust was pure genius, but it takes 40 minutes to bake. I agree with Rachel that giving the cauliflower enough time to saute is very important.
After adding the vegetables, this pie requires an additional 40 minutes to bake. So plan ahead - for me it was just shy of 2 hours, start to finish.
I used smoked paprika on top - that gave it a bit more wow.

This recipe is delicious. The potato crust is outstanding - very easy to make, and adds a nice balance to the dish. The sauteed cauliflower is delicious - let it cook long enough for the flavors to really come out. Try different types of cheeses - I've used a combination of cheddar and mozzarella.
