Miss your mash potatoes?
I love mash potatoes, but they are no go on a low carb diet.
I have found a substitute Celeriac, boiled and mashed, with a little butter, cream or grated cheese added, tastes very similar, and is only around 2% carb. Mike |
I tried this tonight. Not half bad. :thup: Pretty strong celery flavour, but I only had sour cream to put on it. Next time, I'll probably try bacon and cheddar cheese. :thup:

I love celeriac too! :)
For a mash-y type thing, I mix it half and half with cauliflower. Lightens the flavour a bit and lowers the carbs a bit. It also makes a great salad a la Julia Child... Celeriac Remoulade Don't be put off by the name. It's pretty easy and very tasty! Karen |
is celeriac the same as celery root? i have a recipe that calls for celery root but have had difficulty finding it.

Yikes they look like a tumor!
Oh well, now worse than daikon! Wee |
well, i finally found the celery root and tried the recipe for celery root puree found in Suzanne Somers Fast and Easy. It does have a strong celery flavor, but i love celery so it didn't bother me a bit. I ate mine with gravy form a beef roast I had prepared and mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I have heard of a califlower mash potato dish but I cant figure out how to search on the recipe section

a romanian friend of mine regularly makes a salad of grated celery root and chopped cold chicken breast mixed with mayo and whatever spices you like in chicken salad. I 've had it and it's really great.

I tried the caul mash, and it was good! I will try celery root sometime, too.

I'm going to try the mashed potatoes with cauliflower this week. On Mother's Day my hubby cooked out for me and I made potato salad with cauliflower...it was FANTASTIC!!! We couldn't believe how good it was. Cauliflower will be a staple in my house. :)

I am making it this weekend. Pene |
This is probably a stupid question, but I have to ask...
I've seen mock mashed potatoes with cauliflower at Ruby Tuesday's and saw George Stella make them on his show. They *look* good, but I hate cauliflower. Do they taste like cauliflower? Would cauliflower haters like them? |
I don't think you get a strong cauliflower taste - I always add some shredded leek as well.
I also like to make a celeriac dauphinoise - same as the potato version but with celeriac - this is really good |
