Ingredients
>
2 lbs celery root
>
2 lbs gold potatoes
>
1/4 cup olive oil
>
2 tbsp minced garlic
Steps
1
Peel the celery root and cut into 1-inch chunks. Peel the potatoes and cut into 1-inch chunks. In a large pot of salted water, combine celery root, potatoes, and enough water to cover by 1 inch. Partially cover pot and heat to boiling on high. Reduce heat and cook 20 min., until very tender.
2
Meanwhile, in a small skillet, combine the oil and garlic. Cook 4–6 min. on medium-low, until golden brown, stirring often. Remove from heat.
3
Drain cooked celery root and potatoes, reserving ½ cup cooking liquid. In a large bowl with a masher or using a potato ricer, mash celery root and potatoes until smooth. Add garlic mixture and season with salt and pepper. Stir until just combined, adding some reserved cooking liquid if needed. Serve immediately.
Tips
Garnish with snipped chives for a pop of color.
