Celery Root Mash
Celery root mash is a delicious low-carb alternative to mashed potatoes.
4 celery roots, peeled and cubed
½ cup milk or cream
3 Tbsp. butter
Salt, to taste
Chopped celery root leaves, for garnish (optional)
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, using 1 tablespoon of salt for every 2 quarts of water. While the water is coming to a boil, peel the celery roots with a knife. Cut the celery roots into 1-inch pieces. Add the cubed celery root to the boiling water and boil for 25 or 30 minutes, until soft. Drain the pot, return the celery roots to the pot to the stovetop on low. Cover and let the celery roots steam for a minute or two, shaking the pan a bit to prevent sticking. Add the milk or cream, butter, a generous pinch of salt, and mash with a potato masher until it is as smooth as you like it. Add salt to taste and garnish with the celery root leaves, if using.
