Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 3 celery stalks
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 8 cups water (for boiling)
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks (about 2 inches).
Rinse the potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch.
In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the potato chunks to the boiling water and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are boiling, finely chop the celery stalks and mince the garlic cloves.
In a small skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the chopped celery and minced garlic, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant. Set aside.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow the potatoes to sit for 1-2 minutes to let excess moisture evaporate.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, heavy cream, and cooked celery mixture to the pot with the potatoes.
Using a potato masher or hand mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with additional cream if needed.
Season the mashed potatoes with black pepper and additional salt to taste.
Transfer the celery mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
