Smashed Potatoes with Celery Root

From the Jim Dixon collection

Introduction

Big, brown, and ugly, the celery root (also called celeriac) might be hard to find and can be left out, but it’s delicious and worth looking for.

Ingredients

Steps

1. Peel and trim the celery root, then cut into cubes about one inch square. Peel and cut potatoes into chunks about the same size. Place everything into a steamer and cook until the potatoes are tender. Transfer to a bowl and “smash” with a fork so you have a mix of uneven chunks. Add the oil and salt and serve hot.
