Mashed Potatoes with Celery Root

Course: Sides
Servings

servings

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.

ingredients

  • 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

Directions

  • 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.
