Steps:
- Melt the butter in a skillet over low heat and sauté the celery, onion, and garlic until vegetables are soft, about 7 minutes to 10 minutes.
- 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.

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.

Tips:
- For a creamy texture, use a potato ricer or food mill to mash the potatoes instead of a regular masher.
- If you don't have a potato ricer or food mill, mash the potatoes with a fork until they are smooth, taking care not to overwork them.
- To prevent the potatoes from becoming gummy, do not overcook them. Cook them until they are tender but still have a little bit of bite to them.
- To add flavor to the mashed potatoes, use a variety of herbs and spices, such as garlic, onion, parsley, thyme, rosemary, and sage.
- You can also add grated cheese, bacon, or chopped nuts to the mashed potatoes for extra flavor and texture.
