Mashed Kohlrabi With Brown Butter image

It's a pain, but you have to peel the kohlrabi for this recipe. Take off enough of the purple or green skin to reveal the inner white flesh.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup blanched hazelnuts
4 thyme sprigs
1 pound russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
Kosher salt
2 pounds kohlrabies, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/3 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Heat butter in a small saucepan over medium. Cook hazelnuts until butter foams, then browns, about 5 minutes. Add thyme sprigs and cook until crisp, about 30 seconds. Immediately transfer to a bowl; spoon out nuts and coarsely chop.
  • Meanwhile, place potatoes in a large pot and pour in cold water to cover by 1". Season with salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until very tender, 10-12 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Return water to a simmer; cook kohlrabies until tender, 12-14 minutes. Drain and add to bowl with potatoes.
  • Heat cream in a small saucepan over medium until warm.
  • Pass potatoes and kohlrabies through potato ricer or food mill into a large bowl (alternatively, you can also use a masher). Stir in brown butter and warm cream; season with salt. Top mash with hazelnuts and crumble fried thyme over.
