Provided by David Tanis

Categories     quick, side dish

Time 30m

Yield About 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound celery root, peeled and sliced .5 inch thick
3 pounds potatoes, preferably Yellow Finn or russet, peeled, in 1-inch cubes
4 to 6 garlic cloves, peeled
Salt
1 cup milk or half-and-half, more if necessary
1 stick unsalted butter (1/4 pound), cut into 8 pieces, at room temperature

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.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1 1/4-pound celery root (celeriac), peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 1/4 pounds russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
Salt
1/4 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
Celery salt

Steps:

  • Place celery root and potatoes in large saucepan. Cover with water; salt lightly. Boil until very tender, about 15 minutes. Drain vegetables, reserving 1/4 cup liquid. Return vegetables to same saucepan. Add cream and butter and mash until almost smooth. Season with celery salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover puree and cooking liquid separately and refrigerate. Stir puree over medium heat until heated through, adding reserved cooking liquid if mixture is dry.)

Tips:

  • Choose the right celery root: Look for celery roots that are firm and heavy for their size, with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid any that are soft, spongy, or have cracks or bruises.
  • Peel the celery root carefully: The skin of a celery root can be tough and fibrous, so it's important to peel it carefully. Use a sharp knife to remove the skin, working from top to bottom.
  • Cut the celery root into small pieces: This will help it cook more evenly and quickly.
  • Use a good quality potato: The potatoes in this recipe provide a creamy and smooth texture. Choose a starchy potato, such as a Yukon Gold or Russet potato.
  • Cook the celery root and potatoes until they are very tender: This will ensure that the puree is smooth and lump-free.
  • Season the puree to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a bit of butter or cream for extra richness.
  • Serve the puree immediately: This dish is best served hot or warm.

Conclusion:

Celery root and potato puree is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. It's a great way to use up leftover celery root and potatoes, and it's also a healthy and affordable option. With its creamy texture and slightly sweet flavor, celery root and potato puree is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
