Celeriac Mash

This is a lovely, flavor-packed side dish option for those living keto that miss and long for mashed potatoes. Celeriac has a distinctive flavor, that some may find unusual, so I added some garlic butter to help readers make the transition to a lower carb lifestyle a little easier!

Chef Tips:

• Peeling celeriac is tricky. Use a very good-quality peeler (the Y-shaped ones are the chef’s best choice) and be careful not to slice yourself!
• Be sure to cook the celeriac until very soft. It takes a long time, depending on how small you dice the pieces (the smaller, the better). 
• If you want to aim for a smoother mash/puree, simply blend the mash in a food processor.

Equipment

• Potato Masher
• Colander
• Medium Saucepan
• Swivel Peeler
• Ceramic Knives
•  Black Pepper
• Fine Ground Celtic Sea Salt
• Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter

Ingredients

  

• 1 medium celeriac celery head, around 23 oz trimmed weight
• 1.8 oz grass-fed butter
• 2 garlic cloves crushed with a garlic press
• 2 TB sour cream
• Handful parsley flat-leaf or curly, chopped
• Sea salt
• Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

 

• Trim and peel the celeriac. Wipe it clean, then dice it into very small cubes.
• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the diced celeriac and cook until completely softened. This can take up to 30-35 minutes – even on a rolling boil.
• Drain the celeriac in a colander and leave to steam off.
• Return the same pan to the hob and add the butter and garlic. There is NO NEED to put this on the heat as there is plenty of residual heat in the pan to melt the butter and gently cook the garlic. Leave for 2-3 minutes, stirring regularly, then return the drained, steamed celeriac to the pan.
• Toss the celeriac in the garlic butter, then use a potato masher to mash until smooth. If you need, purree in a food processor for a nice velvety texture.
• Stir in the sour cream and season with salt and pepper.
• Serve with parsley sprinkled on top.
