Celeriac & Potato Puree

1. Fill a large pot with salted water.  Place over medium-high heat and bring to a rolling boil.
2. Add celeriac and potatoes.   Bring back to a boil and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until celeriac is tender and easily pierced with a fork.  Remove from heat.
3. Using a slotted spoon, remove celeriac and potatoes, transferring to the bowl of a food mill fitted with a medium blade (alternatively, you can use a food processor fitted with an “S” blade.   Process until pureed).  Rotate the food mill until all of the celeriac and potatoes are pureed.
4. Transfer to a mixing bowl.    Add butter or olive oil and stir to dissolve and blend.
5. Season to taste with plenty of salt and pepper and herbs if desired.Roasted Garlic Variation:  For a stronger flavor, add 2 roasted garlic cloves (peel removed) to the food mill prior to pureeing.
