CELERY ROOT PUREE
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.

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 POTATO PURéE
From Ruth Van Waerebeek's "Everybody Eats Well in Belgium Cookbook." Ruth writes, "The strong peppery flavor of the celery root marries extremely well with the sweetness of the potato, giving the purée a depth of flavor that is haunting and almost addictive." She's right.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are great choices for this puree, as they have a smooth, creamy texture when cooked.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: The celery root and potatoes should be cooked until they are tender but not mushy. Overcooking will make the puree gummy.
- Use a good quality blender or food processor: A high-powered blender or food processor will help you achieve a smooth and creamy puree. If you use a hand blender, you may need to blend the puree in batches.
- Season to taste: The puree should be seasoned with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs or spices. You can also add a bit of butter or cream for extra richness.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs such as chives, parsley, or thyme add a nice pop of flavor and color to the puree.
Conclusion:
Celery root and potato puree is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or a main course. It is a great way to use up leftover celery root and potatoes, and it is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. The puree can be made ahead of time and reheated, making it a convenient option for busy weeknights. With its creamy texture and earthy flavor, celery root and potato puree is a dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
