Steps:
- Put the celery root and parsnips into a medium pot and cover them with the milk. Bring to a simmer and let cook until the parsnips and celery root are tender and cooked through, about 30 minutes. Strain the vegetables from the pot, making sure to reserve 1 cup of the milk before discarding the remainder. Return the parsnips and celery root to the pot, add the butter and mash the ingredients with a potato masher. If you want a smoother texture, then blend in a food processor.

PARSNIP AND CELERY ROOT MASH
These are two vegetables that are usually dead cheap at the market, but not enough people know what to do with them. The parsnips can be peeled and cut just like carrots, but the tough skin and larger size of the celery root (aka celeraic) requires a big knife. This is a favourite in my home, where we serve it as a substitute for mashed potatoes. I like a coarse mash and use a regular potato masher, but you can use a stick blender for a smoother purée.

CELERY ROOT-PARSNIP LATKES
Noah Bernamoff serves his classic latkes at Mile End Deli in Brooklyn all year long. At Hanukkah, he breaks out the variations. Celery root and parsnip replace potato in this version, the sweetness of the parsnips tempered by the grassiness of the celery root. Mr. Bernamoff suggests topping these with horseradish cream.
