Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Slice the top off the head of garlic, brush the top with oil and wrap in foil. Place in the oven, and roast until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the potatoes and celery root and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain. Return the potatoes and celery root to the pot.

  3. Step 3

    Squeeze the soft garlic cloves out of the head, and add to the pot. Smash the ingredients together with the back of a spoon or a potato masher until well-blended. Season with salt and pepper. Reheat briefly and serve.

Excellent way to use CSA root vegetables. Much lighter than plain mashed potatoes.
