Mashed Potato and Celeriac
Another great recipe to vary regular mashed potatoes. In this recipe we use celeriac also called celery root which is a root vegetable harvested in the late fall. It has a mild, celery-like flavor with a starchy, rather potato-like texture which is why it combines well with potatoes for mashing. Celery root is rich in vitamins K, C, and the B’s. It is also a good source of minerals such as phosphorus, potassium, iron, calcium, and manganese.
In the Gerson diet celery root is also used in the special soup that Dr. Gerson prescribes cancer patients to have 8oz twice a day.
Celeriac also called celery root.
Mashed Potato and Celeriac
A great way to vary mash potato is to add another starchy vegetable to it. In this recipe we're going to use celeriac, also called celery root.
Equipment
- Food Mill
Ingredients
- 3 large Russet potatoes
- 1 large Celeriac (celery root)
Vegetable Broth, homemade - 2 TBSP Flax Oil
Instructions
- Wash and scrub the vegetables with a natural vegetable brush.
- Remove the roots from the celeriac. Leave it whole.
- Leave the potatoes whole as they are.
- For best results, use two pots and cook the potatoes and celeriac root separately. Cover with enough filtered water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and cook for about 30 minutes or until cooked through.
- Once cooked, press the vegetables through the food mill using the finest sieve. Add vegetable stock as needed to get a creamy consistency.
- Add the flax oil and stir through.
Notes
OPTIONAL: add Gerson diet approved herbs.
NOTE: This is a Gerson Therapy diet recipe that's why there is no salt added. If you are not following the Gerson diet, you can add a little pink Himalyan salt.
Serve with homemade Gerson veggie burgers and a mixed green salad.
