Experimenting with celery root

Even though this picture looks like mush, it is actually the best mashed potatoes I have ever eaten. Celery root is a vegetable that contains little starch therefore doesn't mash easily. In order to use this vegetable you need to cut the outer skin like a pineapple. It is a task, but worth it in the end. Here is how to make this mashed potato recipe:

5 russet potatoes peeled and diced
1 large celery root peeled and diced
1 1/2 cups of heavy cream
4 tablespoons of butter
salt and pepper to taste

 Put the potatoes and celery root in different pans of boiling water. They both take about the same time to cook ( 30 min). Once they are fork tender drain. Put the celery root in a blender or food processor with 1/2 of the heavy cream and 2 tablespoons of butter until they become very fine. The potatoes go in a mixing bowl with 1 cup of heavy cream and 2 tablespoons of butter.

Mix the potatoes with the celery root mixture and then add salt and pepper to taste.
