Ingredients

6 large baking potatoes, peeled and halved
3 medium celery roots, peeled and quartered
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/2 cup chopped fresh chives or scallion greens
1 1/2 tablespoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground pepper

Steps:

Place potatoes and celery roots in a pot and cover with cold water. Simmer over medium heat until soft, about 30 to 40 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid. Pass potatoes through a ricer and grate the celery roots. Combine potatoes and celery roots and stir in the reserved liquid, butter, chives, salt and pepper.
Fill the bird loosely with stuffing; place any remaining stuffing in a casserole. Roast the bird. Bake the extra stuffing, covered, for about 30 minutes before serving.
