This has become our favorite side dish to go with soups and main dishes. Doesn't need much salt. Celery root is an awesome discovery for flavor - these are the best mashed potatoes I've ever tasted.

These are really good. If you are looking for a low-carb way to eat your potatoes and not feel guilty this is your recipe. The flavor of the celery root is subtle. The important step is letting them dry out a bit as written. This recipe gives you creamy mashed potatoes without the watery celery root stealing the show. Thank you for the recipe. Read More

Creamy nice texture and fresh but it lacks a sort of deepness that I want. Maybe some sour cream or bacon to go in it? It lacks the full bodied taste. Although it is still good I would make something else. The celery is an interesting touch however. Read More
