Ingredients

4 large Idaho potatoes (about 2 1/2 pounds), peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 celery root (about 1/2 pound), peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
4 cloves garlic, peeled
3/4 cup lowfat buttermilk
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
Salt and ground black pepper

Directions

In a large saucepan, combine potatoes, celery root and garlic cloves. Pour over enough water to cover and set pan over high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer 10 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender.

Drain and transfer potatoes, celery root and garlic to a large bowl. Add buttermilk and olive oil and mash until smooth (or lumpy, whatever you like!). Fold in chives. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper.

not creamy enough for me
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

This is the first time I have made home made mashed potatoes and it didn't turn out how I hoped. Maybe because I did not add... the celery root, I don't know, or maybe because it wasn't mashed enough, but my family would have preferred Idaho Spuds from the box!!Read more

Unique Change!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Very unique change from the same ol' mashed potatoes. The garlic taste was a little week but, just add more :) Either way,... the celery root is the star of the show.Read more

GREAT mashed spuds
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The buttermilk makes the potatoes very creamy and it tastes great WITHOUT even missing all the fat of butter!

Very easy but needed lots of butter!!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

These were a snap to make but for that real down-home mashed potato taste I added almost a whole stick of butter.....

the buttermilk is a brilliant way to cut fat and keep it creamy and tasty. and i don't even believe in "low fat" recipes...
