Celery Root Mash

I used a recipe as a "go by" from  a website called Simply Recipes. I wanted to find another potato alternative and we had this at a restaurant in CO. It is delicious and fragrant was a perfect companion to roast chicken. 

• 2 pounds celery root
• 1/2 cup milk or cream ( I used fat free half and half)
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter ( I used liquid butter spray)
• Salt to taste (we added black pepper as well)

1 Bring a large pot of salted water to a simmer while you peel the celery roots with a knife. Cut the celery roots into 1-inch pieces and boil for 25-30 minutes, until soft

2 Drain the celery roots

3 Add the milk or cream, butter and a generous pinch of salt and mash with a potato masher or immersion stick blender until it is as smooth as you like it.
