I love mashed potatoes, always have. When I was young I even appreciated potato buds. You know, those dessicated flakes of potato to which you add boiling water and a pat of butter? I even liked those. Guilty. I have always loved their warmth, their smooth consistency– for me, mashed potatoes are the ultimate comfort food.
Well, nowadays my palate has become a wee bit more sophisticated than it was when I was seven. I still love mashed potatoes, but now will eat them mashed with buttermilk, with a sprinkling of chives, with the skins on, or even– mashed with another vegetable. Take celery root for instance, that often ignored vegetable sitting at the market next to the other root vegetables. It’s delicious!
This knobby vegetable is crisp when eaten raw, supple when cooked, and tastes like celery, without all of those pesky strings. Simmered with a waxy potato, like Yukon golds, and roughly mashed, this puree makes yet another ideal comfort food. My recipe for this puree is over at iVillage Food.

I love mashed potatoes too and I have been using the recipe on the Philly box which has garlic cloves cooked with and mashed with the potatoes. Cream cheese is added too. My 13yo son keeps saying how he likes his sisters mashed potatoes. a lot. She cooked us dinner in her off campus apartment and they were instant.
