Creamy Country-Smashed Potatoes with Celeriac
This could be my favorite way to enjoy celeriac. In my mind, it is over-the-top comfort food! This will give you two very ample servings. Perfect side with ribs, roasted poultry, pork roast or chops.
¼ lb. celeriac, peeled and small diced
1 lb. potatoes, peeled and small diced
2 Tbsp. butter, room temperature
⅓ c. cream, room temperature
Salt and pepper
⅛ - ¼ tsp. horseradish sauce, optional (if you like/want horseradish)
Steam the celeriac and potatoes together until very soft (about 20 minutes).
Drain, empty into a large bowl, and toss immediately with the butter and cream. Smash with a fork to your desired consistency. Try not to eat it all before putting it on the table.
Note:
Raw, peeled celeriac browns quickly when exposed to air. If you're not cooking right away, have a “holding tank” at the ready, to buy yourself time and prevent discoloration–- add a splash of lemon juice, vinegar, or other acid to a bowl of water (1-2 tsp. per cup is fine). Simply add your cut pieces to the water as you work, then remove as you prepare your dish.
