Celery Root Puree w/French Fridays with Dorie

Two celery roots, a potato, an onion, all simmered in milk, then drained and pureed with butter and salt; the perfect complement to short ribs or even a rotisserie chicken.  They don't look like much in the store, but trust Dorie.  Celery roots are ever more interesting than straight mashed potatoes.  Try it!

Definitely more interesting than mashed potatoes. This would be great with braised short ribs...

Happy New Year!

Happy that you liked this recipe. It was new to me, and pretty tasty, if not my all-time favorite.

Hope you have a Happy New Year!!

This was a new one for many of us but most of us seemed to like it.....sorta. It is a healthier and more nutritious alternative to mashed potatoes, isn't it. Happy New Year, Amy.
