Mashed Potatoes With Celery Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
• Add 1 tablespoon of the butter, then the celery and onions.
• Sauté until the vegetables are golden, about 5 minutes.
• Remove from the pan and reserve.
• Add the potatoes and just enough water to cover to the pan.
• Season generously with salt.
• Bring the water to a boil, cover, reduce heat to medium-low and cook until potatoes are tender.
• This should take about 15 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes and return the pan to a medium heat.
• Stir in the cooked vegetables, 3 tablespoons of butter and milk.
• Mash lightly with a masher or fork.
• Add more salt, pepper and taste for seasoning.
• Serve immediately or keep warm over low heat with the lid slightly opened.

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a skillet over low heat and sauté the celery, onion, and garlic until vegetables are soft, about 7 minutes to 10 minutes.
• Add the half and half and bouillon and simmer the mixture slowly, uncovered, over low heat for 20 minutes.
• Whir the simmered mixture in a a blender or food processor until well pureed.
• While the celery mixture is simmering, cut the potatoes into 2-inch chunks (peeled or not, it's up to you) then put them in a stockpot with lightly salted water to cover and cook until the potatoes are tender; drain well.
• Combine the celery puree with the cooked potatoes in the stockpot and, over medium heat, mash with a hand masher, adding buttermilk to achieve desired consistency for the mashed potatoes.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Makes about 6 servings.
• Note: I do not recommend using electric mixers to make mashed potatoes because they can break down the starches in the potatoes too quickly and cause them to become"gluey"- use a hand masher, it's worth the extra bit of effort.

Steps:

• Peel potatoes and celery roots. cut into 1/2 inch cubes and place in a large pot.
• Cook potatoes and roots in boiling water (enough to cover) about 20 minutes or until tender.
• Drain and place in a large bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mash with a masher until smooth.

Steps:

• Prick the potatoes a few times with a fork and bake them in the middle of a preheated 375°F. oven for 1 hour. In a large skillet melt the butter over moderate heat, in it cook the celery and the garlic, covered, for 10 minutes, and cook the mixture, uncovered, stirring, for 10 minutes more, or until the celery is tender. Transfer the mixture to a food processor and purée it. Peel the baked potatoes and force them through a ricer into a bowl. (Alternatively, the potatoes may be mashed with a potato masher.) Stir in the celery purée, salt and pepper to taste, and enough of the milk to reach the desired consistency. The mashed celery potatoes may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.

Steps:

• Trim and peel the celery root, cut into large chunks and place in a bowl of water as you proceed. Peel the potatoes and cut into chunks. Place vegetables in a steamer or in water, in separate pans, and cook until tender when tested with a skewer.
• Drain the vegetables if boiled. Press them through a food mill or sieve. Season with salt and pepper and stir in butter. Serve immediately.

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.

Steps:

• Peel potatoes, and cut into 1-inch pieces. Peel celery root using a paring knife, following the shape of the root. Cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Place potatoes and celery root in a small stockpot with enough water to cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, return to pot; place over low heat to dry out.
• Combine cream, butter, salt, and pepper in a small saucepan, and place over medium heat until butter is melted and mixture comes to a simmer. Pour over potato mixture, and combine, using a potato masher, until fluffy and smooth.
