Potato And Celeriac Mash Recipes

SMASHED CELERIAC

Steps:

• Peel the celeriac, then slice about 1cm/½ inch off the bottom of it and roll it on to that flat edge, so it's nice and safe to slice. Slice and dice it all up into 1cm/½ inch-ish cubes. Don't get your ruler out - they don't have to be perfect.
• Put a casserole-type pot on a high heat, add 3 good lugs of olive oil, then add the celeriac. Pick in the thyme leaves and peel and finely chop the garlic, and add both with a little sea salt and black pepper. Stir around to coat and fry quite fast, giving a little colour, for 5 minutes.
• Turn the heat down to a simmer, add the water or stock, place a lid on top and cook for around 25 minutes, until tender.
• Season carefully to taste and stir around with a spoon to smash up the celeriac. Some people like to keep it in cubes, some like to mash it, but I think it looks and tastes much better if you smash it, which is somewhere in the middle. You can serve this with just about any meat you can think of.

BAKED POTATO, CELERIAC & GARLIC MASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190ºC/gas 5.
• Wash the potatoes, then rub with sea salt. Prick the skins with a fork and place on one side of a baking tray, then bake in the hot oven for 30 minutes.
• Cut the celeriac into large chunks and separate the garlic bulb into cloves, then place onto a large piece of baking parchment. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper, drizzle over 2 tablespoons of olive oil, toss to coat, then wrap up into a loose parcel.
• Once the potatoes have had 30 minutes in the oven, add the celeriac parcel to the tray and bake for a further 20 to 30 minutes, or until the potatoes and celeriac are soft and cooked through.
• Scoop the potato flesh from the skins, squeeze out the garlic flesh and mash together with the celeriac. Pick in the thyme leaves and add the rest of the oil and mash again. Taste, season and serve.

CELERIAC MASH

Steps:

• Place the celeriac cubes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 12 minutes. Add the potatoes, and continue boiling until the vegetables are very tender, about 15 minutes more. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two.
• Return the vegetables to the pot, and stir over medium-high heat until liquid is no longer pooling from the vegetables. Remove from the heat, and pour in the cream and butter. Mash with a potato masher until almost smooth.

MASHED POTATOES AND CELERIAC

Steps:

• Place potatoes and celeriac in a medium saucepan, and fill with enough cold water to cover by about 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat; add salt generously. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until vegetables are tender when pierced with a paring knife, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain in a colander.
• Pass potatoes and celeriac through a ricer or food mill into a serving bowl. Add sour cream and butter, and stir until combined. Stir in nutmeg, and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

CELERIAC & POTATO MASH

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes for 20-25 mins until tender, adding the celeriac after 5 mins. Drain and press through a potato ricer back into the pan once the surface water has evaporated, or mash well with a potato masher in the dry pan.
• While the potatoes cook, melt the 140g butter over a medium heat, then sweat the spring onions for about 5 mins until soft and silky, stirring occasionally. Add the cream and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Bring to a simmer, then cook for another few mins until this thickens a little.
• Stir two-thirds of the creamy onions into the potato and celeriac purée. Season to taste. If making in advance, cover the surface of the mash and the sauce with cling film, then set aside. Can now be frozen or made up to a day ahead. Just before serving, gently reheat the mash and reserved sauce. Spoon the mash into a serving bowl, pour the sauce on top and turn it over a few times to loosely mix. Make a well in the centre and drop in the remaining knob of butter.

POTATO AND CELERY ROOT MASH

Steps:

• Place potatoes, celery root, and horseradish in a large pot. Add water to cover by 1". Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-high, and simmer until vegetables are tender, 25-30 minutes.
• Drain, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid. Return vegetables to pot; add sour cream, Dijon mustard, and butter. Using a potato masher, coarsely mash vegetables. Add reserved cooking liquid by tablespoonfuls if mash is too stiff. Season to taste with salt.

CELERIAC & GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place the potatoes, celery root and garlic in a Dutch oven; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook just until tender, 15 minutes. Drain; cool slightly., Mash vegetables with butter, milk, salt and pepper. Stir in chives.

POTATO AND CELERIAC MASH

Steps:

• 'Peel' the celeriac by roughly slicing off the skin - don't try to peel in conventionally.
• Wash the 'peeled' celeriac - you will probably get about 800g of celeriac from a 1 kg celeriac.
• Weigh out an equivalent amount of peeled potatoes, the amount does not have to be accurate - 50/50 ish.
• Cut the potatoes into quarters and the celeriac into slightly smaller chunks into small chunks so they cook quickly and evenly.
• Add to a large pan of boiling salted water, return to the boil and cook for 20 minutes.
• Drain and leave in the pan to steam for few minutes.
• Mash with a potato ricer or a potato masher.
• Add a tablespoon of butter, a splash of full cream milk or single cream.
• Season and serve.

CELERIAC MASH

Steps:

• Cook celeriac in large saucepan of boiling salted water 15 minutes. Add potato and boil until celeriac and potato are very tender, about 15 minutes longer. Drain. Return to same saucepan; stir over medium-high heat until any excess liquid in pan evaporates, about 2 minutes. Add cream and butter; mash until mixture is almost smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
