Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 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
Water
3/4 cup lowfat buttermilk
2 teaspoons olive oil
(2 Tbsp minced fresh chives)
Salt and ground black pepper

Steps:

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 for 8 to 10 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and transfer potatoes, celery root and garlic to a large bowl. Add 1/2 cup buttermilk and olive oil and mash or process until smooth (or lumpy, if you like!) Add more buttermilk if you want smoother potatoes. (Fold in chives) Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
