Steps

Prepare Celery

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan-assisted). Peel the celery root and cut it into approximately 1.5-2 cm cubes. In a bowl, toss the celery with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread it out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.

Cook Potatoes

Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized pieces. Place them in a large pot, cover with cold water, and season generously with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until completely tender. Drain thoroughly.

Make Mash

Return the drained potatoes to the warm pot. Add the butter, warm milk, and truffle oil. Mash thoroughly with a potato masher until creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Do not use a blender, as it will make the mash gummy!

Serve

Serve the truffle mashed potatoes immediately with the roasted celery cubes. You can garnish with fresh, finely chopped parsley or chives.

Extra Tips

► For an even creamier mashed potato, make sure the milk and butter are warm when you add them.

► Avoid using a food processor for mashing, as it can make the potatoes gummy; a potato masher is best.

► For extra caramelization on the roasted celery, drizzle with a touch of honey or maple syrup during the last 10 minutes of roasting.
