Recipe information

  • Yield

    8 to 10 Servings

Ingredients

2

pounds celery root (celeriac), peeled, cut into 3/4” cubes

Kosher salt

1

1/2 pounds kohlrabi, peeled, cut into 1/2” cubes

1

pound russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1” cubes

1

Granny Smith apple (1/2 lb.), peeled, cored, cut into 1” cubes

2

tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter

Freshly ground black pepper

Fresh chervil sprigs

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Add celery root to a large pot of boiling salted water. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 11–13 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer celery root to a large bowl. Return water to a boil; repeat with kohlrabi, then potatoes, cooking each separately until tender, 14–16 minutes for kohlrabi and 10–12 minutes for potatoes; add to bowl with celery root.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, bring apple and 2 Tbsp. water to a boil in a small saucepan. Cover and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until apple falls apart, 6–8 minutes, adding water by tablespoons if dry.

    Step 3

    Working in batches, pass celery root, kohlrabi, potatoes, and apples through a potato ricer into a large bowl. Pass mixture through ricer again if a smoother texture is desired. Stir in butter. Season with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Transfer to a microwave-safe bowl, cover, and chill. Rewarm in microwave in 30-second intervals until heated through. Transfer to a large serving bowl. Garnish with chervil sprigs.
