Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
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.
While the garlic roasts, peel and dice the celeriac and potatoes into roughly equal-sized chunks for even cooking.
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.
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.
Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and add them to the pot with the celeriac and potatoes.
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.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Transfer the mash to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish to roasted meats or vegetables.
