Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 large Idaho potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes, held in water until ready to use
Kosher salt
1 large celery root, tough outer parts removed, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 to 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 stick cold butter, cut into pats

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a pot large enough to accommodate the celery root and the potatoes. Add enough water to cover the vegetables by 2 inches and season generously with salt. 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.

Potato & Celery Root Purée image

There's nothing like the rich flavor of these potatoes laced with the heady, earthy fragrance of celery root.

Provided by Josh Eisen

Categories     Side dishes

Yield four.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1-1/4 lb. celery root, peeled and cut into 2-inch cubes
2 Tbs. salt; more for seasoning
1 lb. Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch cubes
3 oz. (6 Tbs.) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Freshly ground white pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Put a large pot of water on high heat. Add the celery root and salt and bring to a boil. When the water has been boiling for 10 minutes, add the potatoes. Cook just until a skewer can easily penetrate the center of the potatoes and the celery root, 30 to 35 minutes total.
  • Draw off about 1 cup of the cooking liquid and set it aside. Drain the potatoes and celery root and pass them through the fine disk of a food mill back into the pot in which they were cooked. Mix in a couple of tablespoons of the cooking liquid to loosen the mixture. Using a wooden spoon, mix in the butter. Bring the mashed potatoes to the consistency you like by adding a little more cooking water, if necessary. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     quick, side dish

Time 30m

Yield About 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound celery root, peeled and sliced .5 inch thick
3 pounds potatoes, preferably Yellow Finn or russet, peeled, in 1-inch cubes
4 to 6 garlic cloves, peeled
Salt
1 cup milk or half-and-half, more if necessary
1 stick unsalted butter (1/4 pound), cut into 8 pieces, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Put the celery root, potatoes and garlic cloves in a soup pot. Cover with cold water and salt generously, then boil over medium-high heat until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and press through a ricer or the large holes of a food mill, then return to the pot. (If you prefer a rough-textured purée, mash with an electric beater or a hand-held potato-masher.)
  • Over medium-low heat, whisk in the milk or half-and-half until the thickness of the purée is to your liking. It shouldn't be too stiff. Whisk in the butter and incorporate. Taste for salt and adjust. Make sure the purée is heated through. May be made up to 2 hours in advance, held at room temperature, and reheated in a double boiler.

CELERY ROOT AND APPLE PUREE



Celery Root and Apple Puree image

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup large-diced fennel bulb, tops and core removed
2 pounds celery root, peeled and (3/4-inch) diced
8 ounces Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and (3/4-inch) diced
3 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and (3/4-inch) diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup good apple cider
1/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Melt the butter over medium heat in a shallow pot or large saute pan. Add the fennel, celery root, potatoes, apples, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Saute the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the cider and tightly cover the pot. Simmer over low heat (I pull the pot halfway off the heat) for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are very soft. If the vegetables begin to burn or they seem dry, add another few tablespoons of apple cider or some water.
  • When the vegetables are cooked, add the cream and cook for 1 more minute. Transfer the mixture to a food mill fitted with the coarsest blade and process. (You can also use a food processor but the texture will be smoother than with the food mill.) Taste for salt and pepper and return to the pot to keep warm. Serve warm.

CELERY ROOT PUREE



Celery Root Puree image

I joke that celery root tastes like celery if celery actually tasted good; for the most part, this is true. The flavor is quite mild and pleasant, and the texture is somewhat similar to mashed potatoes. This simple puree is a very versatile side dish, but the tasty root will also work sliced thin and layered in a gratin, either with or without potatoes. I hope you give this great fall and winter vegetable a try soon.
