Potato Celeriac Mash

Once again – I have made mashed potatoes with a twist. I tastes devine, it is full of vitamins and it cooks easy with potatoes.

Ingredients

1 kg potatoes (floury potatoes)

150 g celery

120 ml cream

80 g butter

1 clove minced garlic

1/4 tsp nutmeg

40 g grated cheese (optional)

salt and pepper

Method

Peel the potatoes and celery and cut dice them evenly. Add them to salted boiling water (enough to cover) and let them cook for about 30 minutes or until they let go of a fork. Drain and return to the pot. Whisk the potatoes/celery with a hand mixer adding butter, cream, garlic, nutmeg, salt and pepper until it is all melted, blended and fluffy. If you would like, add a bit of cheese. Any will do. Parmesan cheese or gruyere would be excellent. I grated a bit of left over Gouda which also added a twist 😉

Generally – cheese is not needed – it just adds a bit of texture and a twist.
