- 1.5 lbs celery root
- 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 15 fresh sage leaves
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
How to make Celery Root and Yukon Gold Mash with Brown Butter and Crispy Sage
- Place the 1.5 lbs cubed celery root and 1.5 lbs cubed Yukon Gold potatoes in a large pot. Cover with cold water by about 1 inch and add a generous pinch of salt.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until both the celery root and potatoes are very tender when pierced with a fork.
- While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the brown butter and crispy sage. In a small saucepan, melt 6 tbsp unsalted butter over medium heat.
- Once the butter has melted, add the 15 fresh sage leaves. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns a rich golden brown and smells nutty, and the sage leaves become crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn the butter.
- Immediately remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully separate the crispy sage leaves from the brown butter using a slotted spoon or fork. Set the crispy sage aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Once the celery root and potatoes are tender, carefully drain them thoroughly in a colander, allowing them to steam dry for a minute or two to remove excess moisture.
- Return the drained vegetables to the empty pot. Add the warm 0.5 cup heavy cream, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper.
- Using a potato masher or a ricer, mash the vegetables until smooth and creamy. Do not over-mash, as this can make them gluey.
- Stir in about half of the brown butter (reserving the rest for drizzling). Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Transfer the mash to a serving bowl. Drizzle with the remaining brown butter and scatter the crispy sage leaves over the top just before serving.
