CELERY ROOT-POTATO PURéE

Steps:

• Put the celery root, potatoes and garlic cloves in a soup pot. Cover with cold water and salt generously, then boil over medium-high heat until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and press through a ricer or the large holes of a food mill, then return to the pot. (If you prefer a rough-textured purée, mash with an electric beater or a hand-held potato-masher.)
• Over medium-low heat, whisk in the milk or half-and-half until the thickness of the purée is to your liking. It shouldn't be too stiff. Whisk in the butter and incorporate. Taste for salt and adjust. Make sure the purée is heated through. May be made up to 2 hours in advance, held at room temperature, and reheated in a double boiler.

CELERY ROOT AND POTATO PUREE

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a pot large enough to accommodate the celery root and the potatoes. Add enough water to cover the vegetables by 2 inches and season generously with salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10 minutes. Add the celery root and cook until both vegetables are fork tender. Strain the celery root and potatoes.
• Pour the cream in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, pass the celery root and potatoes through a food mill into a large bowl. Add one-quarter of the hot cream and 2 pats of the butter. Stir vigorously until the cream and butter are thoroughly combined. Repeat for the remaining cream and butter. Taste for seasoning, you will probably have to add salt. Serve in a warm serving bowl immediately or keep warm until ready to use.

• Steam potatoes, celery root and onion over boiling water for about 25 minutes. Drain.
• Puree the mixture in a food processor with buttermilk. Season with salt and pepper. Serve sprinkled with scallions.

CELERY ROOT PUREE

Steps:

• Peel the celery root. Cut off the knobby top and bottom. Set the root upright on a cutting board and trim away the tough outer peel with a chef's knife. Cut into roughly 1-inch cubes and place in a large saucepan with cold water.
• Peel and cube the potatoes and add the potatoes and the garlic to the saucepan. Season the water liberally with salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are tender enough to be crushed with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Drain the vegetables and empty them into a food mill fitted with a fine disk. Turn the crank, pressing the vegetables through the disk into a clean saucepan underneath. You may need to reverse the blade a time or two to clear any tough fibers that are caught in the disk. Scrape the purée on the underside of the disk into the saucepan. Depending on the size of your food mill, you may need to purée the vegetables in two batches to accommodate them comfortably.
• Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the ground vegetables with a wooden spoon until they form a smooth paste. The heat is also drying excess moisture out of the vegetables; stop when a dry film begins to form on the bottom of the pan. Beat in the butter and when it is thoroughly incorporated, beat in the whipping cream to make a silky purée.
• Season the purée to taste with more salt if necessary, white pepper and a pinch of nutmeg and spoon it into a serving bowl.
• If you like, place a knob of butter on top to melt into the mixture.

Season generously with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. The purée can be kept warm in 150°F over for up to 2 hours.
