Mashed Potatoes With Celery Root - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 lb celery root, peeled and cut in chunks
salt and pepper
1/3 cup light cream

Preparation

Place the potatoes and celery root in a large heavy saucepan.
(I start the celery root first, since I find it takes longer to cook. It must be soft to mash up creamy).
Cover with water and season liberally with salt and pepper.
Cover and cook over medium-high heat until water boils.
Reduce the heat to medium and continue to boil until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
Drain, and mash the vegetables with a potato masher or a large fork.
Mix in cream.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper.
