Potato and Celery Root Mash

This rustic potato and celeriac mash is a sophisticated alternative to standard mashed potatoes. By blending starchy potatoes with earthy celeriac—also known as celery root—you create a side dish with a complex flavour profile and a beautifully light texture. The addition of freshly grated horseradish and tangy Dijon mustard provides a gentle heat that cuts through the richness of the butter and soured cream, making it an excellent companion for roasted meats or hearty vegetarian stews.

As a versatile vegetarian side, this dish is perfect for family Sunday lunches or festive gatherings. The celeriac adds a subtle nutty undertone while reducing the overall carbohydrate content of the mash. For the best results, use a mix of potato varieties to achieve a balance of fluffiness and creaminess. Serve it piping hot with a little extra butter melted on top for a truly comforting homemade meal.

Ingredients for Potato and Celery Root Mash

  • 1.1kg mixed russet, Yukon Gold, and white-skinned potatoes, peeled, cut into 2" cubes

  • 1 6" piece of horseradish, peeled, coarsely grated

  • 350ml soured cream

  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard

  • 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter

  • Kosher salt

Place potatoes, celery root, and horseradish in a large pot. Add water to cover by 1". Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-high, and simmer until vegetables are tender, 25-30 minutes.

Drain, reserving 240ml cooking liquid. Return vegetables to pot; add soured cream, Dijon mustard, and butter. Using a potato masher, coarsely mash vegetables. Add reserved cooking liquid by tablespoonfuls if mash is too stiff. Season to taste with salt.
