Mashed Potatoes With Celery Root image

I first had these potatoes at a restaurant and they "knocked my socks off." Celeriac (or celery root) is a ugly root, that when baked up becomes quite creamy. The flavor is similar to celery stalk with a sweet undercurrent. This version is from Andrew Schloss's, author of "Dinner's Ready" clipped from the Washington Post 1996.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 lb celery root, peeled and cut in chunks
salt and pepper
1/3 cup light cream

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes and celery root in a large heavy saucepan.
  • (I start the celery root first, since I find it takes longer to cook. It must be soft to mash up creamy).
  • Cover with water and season liberally with salt and pepper.
  • Cover and cook over medium-high heat until water boils.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and continue to boil until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Drain, and mash the vegetables with a potato masher or a large fork.
  • Mix in cream.
  • Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper.
