Celery Root Mash is unbelievably delicious! This is my version of "mashed potatoes" and honestly, I would eat this instead of mashed potatoes any day. It's super yummy, creamy like mashed potatoes and has just the slightest hint of celery.
Celery Root Mash
This makes a wonderful side dish. Make sure to make enough, I always want to eat the whole batch.
Equipment: Medium Saucepan w/ Lid, Food Processor or Hand Mixer
- 4 cups celery root (about 3 medium), peeled, cut into 1" pieces
- 1 1/2 - 2 cups filtered water
- 2-4 tablespoons pasture butter (See Resources)
- 1/2 teaspoon Celtic sea salt or to taste (See Resources)
1. Prep celery root - wash, peel and cut into 1 inch chunks.
2. Add celery root chunks to the saucepan. Add water, just enough to barely cover the celery root. Cover with lid and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until fork tender.
3. Strain water and place celery root into food processor. Add pasture butter and sea salt, pulse until celery root becomes a smooth puree, about 1 minute.
4. Serve hot or refrigerate for later.
Yield: Makes about 2 1/2 cups puree.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
Serving Suggestions: Serve with Pasture Roasted Chicken, Pot Roast, Grassfed Lamb Chops, Pan-Sauteed Fish, Sauteed or Roasted Vegetables or top with Homemade Gravy. Use as a substitution for any meal with mashed potatoes.

this sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's SO good! Hope you get to try it :)
ReplyDeleteI've actually never made celeriac straight up as a mash. I've put it in regular mashed potatoes, and now I'll definitely have to try it this way.
ReplyDeleteI think you'll enjoy it by itself too. I used to put it in my mashed potatoes too, but since I can't have them anymore, I really enjoy it this way. Enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteYummy. I need to buy some celery root.
ReplyDelete@Kimberly, I hope you can find some, it's so delicious!
ReplyDeleteI've never had celery root before! DOn't think I've even seen it anywhere. That looks pretty yummy, though.
ReplyDeleteHi Anne, most stores are starting to carry it now. I'm not sure what stores are near you, my local natural foods co-op always has it, I've seen it at Whole Foods and I know some mainstream supermarkets carry it. Hope you can find some and try it :)
ReplyDeleteThey're not cheap that's for sure. Plan to pay about $3 each for them.
DeleteThey are not as cheap as potatoes, and they weigh more in weight, but sometimes you can find good deals on them. I have seen some at farmers markets too for less.
DeleteI love this idea and can't wait to try this! It looks just like mashed potatoes. thanks for sharing this recipe with the Hearth and Soul Hop.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alea! I hope you get to try it, it's so good! And extra special thanks to you for the Stumble of my Pumpkin Pancakes recipe. I love how the blog community supports each other, many thanks.
