Mashed Potatoes With Celery Root Food

MASHED POTATOES WITH CELERY ROOT

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.

CELERY ROOT MASH

Steps:

• Peel and roughly chop 3 pounds celery root. Place in a pot and cover with equal parts milk and water (about 2 1/2 cups each); add a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until soft, 20 to 25 minutes; drain. Puree with 1/3 cup heavy cream and 2 tablespoons butter. Season with salt, then add 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard and pulse to combine.
• TIP: Use a food processor or immersion blender to puree these veggies-they're too fibrous for a potato masher.

MASHED POTATOES WITH CELERY ROOT

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.

Steps:

• Boil celery root in large pot of salted water 5 minutes. Add potatoes and boil until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes longer. Drain well. Return potatoes and celery root to pot. Stir over medium-high heat until dry, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Mash vegetables until smooth. Stir in butter and enough milk to moisten. Season to taste with nutmeg, salt and pepper.

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.

• Peel potatoes, and cut into 1-inch pieces. Peel celery root using a paring knife, following the shape of the root. Cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Place potatoes and celery root in a small stockpot with enough water to cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, return to pot; place over low heat to dry out.
• Combine cream, butter, salt, and pepper in a small saucepan, and place over medium heat until butter is melted and mixture comes to a simmer. Pour over potato mixture, and combine, using a potato masher, until fluffy and smooth.

• Add the half and half and bouillon and simmer the mixture slowly, uncovered, over low heat for 20 minutes.
• Whir the simmered mixture in a a blender or food processor until well pureed.
• While the celery mixture is simmering, cut the potatoes into 2-inch chunks (peeled or not, it's up to you) then put them in a stockpot with lightly salted water to cover and cook until the potatoes are tender; drain well.
• Combine the celery puree with the cooked potatoes in the stockpot and, over medium heat, mash with a hand masher, adding buttermilk to achieve desired consistency for the mashed potatoes.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Makes about 6 servings.
• Note: I do not recommend using electric mixers to make mashed potatoes because they can break down the starches in the potatoes too quickly and cause them to become"gluey"- use a hand masher, it's worth the extra bit of effort.
