Celery Mashed Potatoes
After having celery mashed potatoes in a restaurant, i had to figure out how to make them at home. :) these are wonderfully flavorful!!
Steps
Melt the butter in a skillet over low heat and saut the celery , onion , and garlic until vegetables are soft , about 7 minutes to 10 minutes.
Add the half and half and bouillon and simmer the mixture slowly , uncovered , over low heat for 20 minutes.
Whir the simmered mixture in a a blender or food processor until well pureed.
While the celery mixture is simmering , cut the potatoes into 2-inch chunks then put them in a stockpot with lightly salted water to cover and cook until the potatoes are tender.
Drain well.
Combine the celery puree with the cooked potatoes in the stockpot and , over medium heat , mash with a hand masher , adding buttermilk to achieve desired consistency for the mashed potatoes.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Makes about 6 servings.
