Much more interesting than plain mashed potatoes, this purée gets an earthy boost from celery root and chervil and an amazing smoothness and richness from a generous amount of cream. Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds yukon gold potatoes |
1 1/2 pounds celery root (celeriac) |
1 cup heavy cream |
1/4 cup chopped chervil |
Directions:
1. Peel potatoes and celery root. Cut into 1-inch chunks. Steam in a large steamer set over boiling water, covered, until very tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
2. Force through food mill into a bowl. Stir in cream, chervil, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Season with additional salt.
3. Cooks' note: Purée can be made 2 days ahead and chilled. Reheat gently.
