I have just recently discovered celeriac, aka celery root. It has turned out to be a fantastic potato substitute for my kids. The french fries I made recently were a big hit, and today I have made mashed celeriac so they can look like they're having mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving with all their relatives. It had to be very aggressively pureed with the immersion blender instead of just lazily softened up with the hand-mixer, but ultimately I did achieve the same texture. Hooray!
