Celery Mashed Potatoes image

After having celery mashed potatoes in a restaurant, I had to figure out how to make them at home. :) These are wonderfully flavorful!

Categories     Potato

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups chopped celery (lighter colored ribs preferred)
1/3 cup minced yellow onion
1 clove garlic, finely minced
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/4 cup chicken bouillon
2 lbs red potatoes
buttermilk, as needed to desired texture
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a skillet over low heat and sauté the celery, onion, and garlic until vegetables are soft, about 7 minutes to 10 minutes.
  • Add the half and half and bouillon and simmer the mixture slowly, uncovered, over low heat for 20 minutes.
  • Whir the simmered mixture in a a blender or food processor until well pureed.
  • While the celery mixture is simmering, cut the potatoes into 2-inch chunks (peeled or not, it's up to you) then put them in a stockpot with lightly salted water to cover and cook until the potatoes are tender; drain well.
  • Combine the celery puree with the cooked potatoes in the stockpot and, over medium heat, mash with a hand masher, adding buttermilk to achieve desired consistency for the mashed potatoes.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Makes about 6 servings.
  • Note: I do not recommend using electric mixers to make mashed potatoes because they can break down the starches in the potatoes too quickly and cause them to become"gluey"- use a hand masher, it's worth the extra bit of effort.
