Ingredients
4 large celery roots (about 2 ¼ pounds total), trimmed, peeled and shredded
4 medium baking potatoes, boiled for 4 minutes, cooled, peeled and shredded
2 small onions, peeled and shredded
3 teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
10 tablespoons bacon fat or vegetable oil
Preparation
- Step 1
Combine the celery roots, potatoes, onions, salt and pepper.
- Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat 6 tablespoons of fat in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet. When the fat is hot but not smoking, dump the celery-root mixture into the pan and flatten with the back of a spatula. Cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, until brown on one side. Flip onto a plate. Heat the remaining oil in the pan and brown the cake on the other side.
- Step 3
Place the pan in the oven and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the cake is cooked through. Turn out onto a plate. If the bottom sticks, scrape out the stuck parts and patch onto the cake. Flip onto a second plate so that the unmarred side is up. Serve with new-wave chowchow.
