Creamy & Comforting Celeriac Mash

celeriac mash

This creamy celeriac mash recipe is a simple, elegant, and healthy low carb alternative to mashed potatoes. It is just as easy to make and the mild celery flavor pairs beautifully with the robust garlic flavor and herbs.

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds celery root/celeriac
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 2 tablespoons of fresh thyme
  • 1 tablespoon + 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pot of water and generously season it with 1 tablespoon of salt.
  2. Carefully peel your celery root by cutting off the top edge of each bulb.  This will provide a sturdier surface and make it safer to peel.  Once the top is cut off, turn the celery root over and cut off the bottom edge.  Using a very sharp paring knife or vegetable peeler, slice off the skin.  Cut into ½” slices and then into small cubes.
  3. Once the water is boiling, carefully add the peeled celeriac cubes to the pot.  Cook for 15-20 minutes until fork tender.  Remove from heat and drain.
  4. Add butter, heavy cream, 3/4 teaspoon salt, pepper, thyme, and garlic to the pot.  Using a potato masher, press the ingredients together until your desired texture is achieved.  You can also puree this for a much smoother texture.  Just add everything to a high speed blender and mix until smooth.  Add chicken stock to thin mash out to desired taste.
  5. Adjust seasoning if needed and top with a pat of butter and extra fresh thyme or parsley.
