Chinese Celery adds a peppery, not hot, profile to this dish. A nice twist to the usual mashed potato!
Ingredients
-
3 pounds Yukon Gold Potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces
-
4 large Chinese celery stalks with leaves sliced
-
3 cloves organic garlic, roasted (see notes below)
-
2 small bay leaves
-
1/4 cup whipped cream
-
3 teaspoons butter
-
Salt and pepper as needed
-
2 Chinese celery, leaves chopped
Directions
Cook potatoes, sliced celery, garlic, and bay leaves in pot of boiling salted water until potatoes are tender, about 12 minutes.
In a colander, drain potatoes and vegetables well.
Return to same pot; remove bay leaves.
Add cream and butter and mash well. Season with salt and pepper.
Rewarm over low heat, stirring occasionally.
Transfer potato mixture to bowl; sprinkle with chopped celery leaves.
Recipe Note
To roast garlic:
- Set oven to 375F.
- Using one whole head of garlic, gently brush the root end to remove any dirt.
- Carefully trim off tops of cloves to expose garlic flesh. Set in a piece of foil large enough to wrap the garlic. Generously pour olive oil over tops.
- Wrap tightly in foil and place in an oven proof small dish to prevent garlic from rolling. Roast until soft, about one hour.
- Once cooled, squeeze out each clove and store in refrigerator safe jar. Throw away peel and root. Keep cloves covered in oil. Must be refrigerated; not shelf stable. Use within two weeks.
