Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 pounds boiling potatoes, peeled -- cut into 1"
pieces
1 pound celery root, peeled -- cut into 1" pieces
5 tablespoons unsalted butter -- cut into pieces
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt -- or to taste
freshly ground pepper to taste


In a large saucepan combine the potatoes and enough salted cold
water to cover them by 2 inches. Bring the water to a boil, and boil
the potatoes, covered, for 4 minutes. Add the celery root, simmer the

vegetables, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are very
tender, and drain them well. While the vegetables are still hot force

them through a food mill fitted with the medium disk into a saucepan.

Add the butter, milk, lemon juice, salt and pepper, and stir the
puree
well. (The puree may be made up to 1 day in advance and kept
covered and chilled.) In a heavy saucepan reheat the puree over low
heat, stirring constantly, until it is hot.

Yield: 5 1/2 cups
