Comfort Mash
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks
- 1 knob celeriac, about baseball sized, peeled and cut into chunks a little smaller than the potatoes
- 1/2 - 1 cups skim milk ⓘ
- 1 tablespoon best quality olive oil ⓘ
- 3 tablespoons chives, minced ⓘ
- 1 tablespoon butter ⓘ
- salt and pepper to taste ⓘ
Instructions
- Put the potato and celeriac chunks into a large saucepan and cover with cool water by about 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat and then reduce to medium-low and simmer for 20 - 25 minutes until chunks of both potato and celeriac are soft when pierced with a fork.
- Drain the vegetables in a colander and return them to the saucepan over medium heat. Stir the potato and celeriac around in the pot for a couple of minutes to dry them out. Turn the heat down to low.
- Either mash the potato and celeriac right in the pot or if you want a finer, more pureed consistency, put them through a ricer and return the resulting puree to the pot.
- Add 1/2 cup of the skim milk and the olive oil and mix well. If it seems dry, add the other 1/2 cup of milk, or as much of it as you need.
- Add the chives (reserving a small mount for garnish) and butter, and about a quarter teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mix again. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
