Mashes Potatoes with Celery Root and Dill

Who doesn't love mashed potatoes? We are here certainly big fans of it! I make different variations of it to keep it interesting.

Today I made it with Celeriac-celery root. It is grown as a root vegetable rather then for its stems and leaves. It has a tough, furrowed, outer surface which I cut off by placing it on the cutting board and removing it around with the knife rather then using a vegetable piler.

Place piled potatoes and celery root in a large pot with cold water and boil till soft. I used one 5lb. bag of potatoes and 2 celery roots for this dish. Once vegetables are soft drain the water and return back to the pot for steam drying. Add one cup of hot milk, half stick of unsalted butter, salt and freshly grounded black pepper and mash it all together. For the best airy mash used potato ricer. Once desired consistency is achieved, add one bunch of chopped dill and serve!

Today I used it as a side to Veal Osso Bucco. Enjoy and Happy Eating!
