Ingredients

• 2 pounds russet potatoes
• 4 units celery stalks
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 0.25 cups milk
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 units garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, chopped for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cube the russet potatoes into evenly sized pieces (about 1 inch in diameter) and rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch.

Step 2

In a large pot, add the potato cubes and enough water to completely submerge them. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

While the potatoes are boiling, wash the celery stalks and finely dice them into small pieces.

Step 4

After 12-15 minutes of boiling, check the potatoes for tenderness by piercing a cube with a fork. If it slides off easily, the potatoes are ready. Drain the potatoes and set them aside.

Step 5

In a small skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced celery, sautéing for 3-4 minutes, or until the celery has softened slightly and the garlic is fragrant.

Step 6

In the same pot used for boiling the potatoes, combine the boiled potatoes, sautéed celery and garlic, remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, heavy cream, and milk.

Step 7

Using a hand mixer or potato masher, whip or mash the mixture until it reaches your desired creamy consistency. Adjust the texture by adding more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed.

Step 8

Season the whipped celery potatoes with the remaining salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.

Step 9

Transfer the whipped potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if using.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish to complement your favorite protein or vegetable dishes.
