Ingredients

• 1 medium (about 450g) Celeriac (celery root)
• 500 g Potatoes
• 1 whole bulb Garlic
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 50 g Unsalted butter
• 120 ml Heavy cream (or milk for a lighter option)
• 1 tsp (or to taste) Salt
• 0.5 tsp (or to taste) Black pepper
• 1 tbsp, chopped Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

Step 2

Slice off the top of the garlic bulb to expose the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until the garlic is soft and golden.

Step 3

While the garlic roasts, peel and dice the celeriac and potatoes into roughly equal-sized chunks for even cooking.

Step 4

Place the celeriac and potatoes into a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 15-20 minutes or until both are fork-tender.

Step 5

Drain the cooked celeriac and potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes on low heat to remove excess moisture.

Step 6

Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and add them to the pot with the celeriac and potatoes.

Step 7

Add the butter, heavy cream (or milk), salt, and pepper to the pot. Mash the mixture with a potato masher or use an immersion blender for a smoother texture.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 9

Transfer the mash to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish to roasted meats or vegetables.
