Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 pounds Idaho russet potatoes (about 5 potatoes), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 pound celery root, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Kosher salt
2 sticks butter, 1 softened and 1 melted, plus more for greasing
6 ounces cream cheese
1 cup half-and-half, warmed
1/4 cup prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/4 cup fresh minced chives

Steps:

  • Add the potatoes, celery root and 1 tablespoon salt to a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook over medium-high heat until fork tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and celery root.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan.
  • Whip together the cream cheese and softened butter in a large bowl with a hand mixer on medium speed until thoroughly blended, about 2 minutes. Add the hot potatoes and celery root slowly, alternating with the half-and-half. Whip until blended. Sprinkle with salt and stir in the horseradish, garlic powder and white pepper.
  • Pour the potato mixture into the prepared baking pan. Pour the melted butter over the potato mixture. Bake until bubbly and slightly brown, about 45 minutes. Garnish with the chives.
