Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized (about 2 lbs total) celeriac (celery root)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the celeriac using a sharp knife, removing the rough outer skin, and dice it into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Peel the garlic cloves and leave them whole.

Step 3

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the diced celeriac and garlic cloves to the pot.

Step 4

Boil the celeriac and garlic for approximately 20 minutes, or until the celeriac pieces are fork-tender.

Step 5

Drain the celeriac and garlic through a colander, shaking off any excess water.

Step 6

Return the celeriac and garlic to the pot and place it back over low heat for 1-2 minutes to help evaporate any remaining moisture.

Step 7

Add the butter, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper to the pot.

Step 8

Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, mash the ingredients together until the mash reaches your desired consistency. For a smoother texture, you can blend it further.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more salt and pepper as desired.

Step 10

Transfer the celeriac mash to a serving dish and optionally garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 11
