FOOD + ENTERTAINING
MASHED POTATOES WITH
CELERY ROOT
Serves 8
My favorite mashed potato recipe. Pulsing
the potatoes in the processor makes them
very smooth. I love the addition of celery
root—it makes the dish much lighter.
2 pounds celery root, peeled and cut
into large dice
1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, peeled
and cut into large dice
4 cups heavy cream
1 stick unsalted butter
Salt, to taste
In a large pot, combine diced potato
and diced celery root. Add heavy cream
and cook for 15 to 20 minutes until
tender. Once cooked, remove potatoes
and celery root, reserving cream. Add
potatoes, celery root, butter and 1½
cups of the reserved cream to a food
processor (I add the cream in ½-cup
increments). You may need more or less
to get the consistency you prefer. Pulse
until smooth and season with salt.
Keep warm until ready to serve.
