CELERY ROOT AND POTATO PUREE

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.

SIMPLE CRUNCHY POTATO AND ONION CASSEROLE - LOW CAL
If you like crunchy potatoes, with no sauce, you'll love this casserole made in a shallow dish! We love it plain and simple, and fight over the crunchy parts, but feel free to add seasonings of your choice. If calories are no object, top the casserole with shredded cheese (or sour cream) and sprinkle with real cooked bacon pieces.

CELERY POTATO CASSEROLE
Lightened version of a quick side dish recipe found in Family Circle magazine - Oct. 17,2008 issue. The original used full-fat soup and sour cream as well as regular bacon. The soup, bacon and French-fried onions are already loaded with sodium so I think the additional salt could be omitted..

CELERY AND ONION MASHED POTATOES
A slightly different way to serve this classic dish. I prefer the potatoes mashed with a fork, but for a finer texture you could push them through a potato ricer and then add the onions and celery.

POTATO AND CELERY ROOT GRATIN WITH CAPER BROWN BUTTER
This is the perfect side dish to a Sunday roast or winter spread. Cutting the vegetables into batons as opposed to thinly slicing them lends a wonderful texture to the dish, and it looks pretty funky too. If you can't find celeriac (celery root), then swap it out for an equal amount of Yukon Gold potatoes or similar semi-waxy potatoes. This is the kind of dish that tastes better as it sits, so feel free to serve it at room temperature if you prefer, adding the brown butter just before serving.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit/180 degrees Celsius.
- Add 2 tablespoons/30 grams of butter and all the oil to a medium (10-inch/26-centimeter) ovenproof sauté pan over medium-high heat. Once melted, add the onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt, turn the heat down to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened and have taken on a light coloring, about 15 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme leaves, and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant. Stir in the miso and wine, and cook until liquid is reduced by half, about 4 more minutes. Remove from the heat.
- In a large bowl, very gently toss together celery root (celeriac), potatoes and flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a generous grind of pepper. Stir in the onion mixture to coat, then transfer everything back into the skillet, piling the vegetables haphazardly, so that the batons are pointing in different directions. Pour in the stock. Lightly grease a piece of foil with a little oil, then tightly cover the pan (oiled side down) and bake for 1 hour, or until the vegetables have cooked through.
- Remove the foil, and turn the oven temperature up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit/210 degrees Celsius. Sprinkle over the Gruyère and return the dish to the oven for 30 minutes, or until nicely browned on top, rotating the dish halfway. Leave to settle for at least 20 minutes while you make the brown butter (beurre noisette).
- Add the remaining butter and the thyme sprigs to a small saucepan, and place it over medium heat. Once melted, cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until it starts to smell nutty (add more or less time if necessary). Add the capers (carefully, as they might spit) and cook for 4 more minutes, or until they darken and burst. Off the heat, stir 1 tablespoon lemon juice from 1 lemon, chives and another good grind of pepper.
- Pour the caper brown butter all over the top of the gratin and serve warm, with the remaining lemon sliced into wedges to squeeze alongside.
Tips:
- Use a mandoline slicer for even thickness: This will help the vegetables cook evenly and create a more visually appealing casserole.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the vegetables: This will prevent them from steaming instead of frying, which will result in a soggy casserole.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven for the casserole: This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the casserole from burning.
- Be patient when layering the casserole: Take your time and carefully layer the vegetables and sauce to ensure that they are evenly distributed.
- Cover the casserole tightly with foil before baking: This will help to create a moist environment and prevent the casserole from drying out.
- Let the casserole rest for 10-15 minutes before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the casserole to set.
Conclusion:
Layered Potato, Onion, and Celery Root Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of tender vegetables, creamy sauce, and crispy cheese topping is sure to please everyone at the table. With its simple ingredients and straightforward instructions, this casserole is a great choice for busy weeknights or special gatherings.
