Yesterday when I was making soup (a complete disaster and a whole other story!) I looked at some ingredients I had on the counter and thought… these could be really good together. With a wing and a prayer, I whipped up this mash in a matter of minutes and it turned out to be pretty darn tasty! I would recommend serving as a side dish or maybe with some sauteed veggies over it. Enjoy!
Springtime Mash
Serves 2-4
What you’ll need:
3-4 large red potatoes, peeled (I like to leave some of the skin on if you do too that’s fine)
1 celery root, peeled and quartered
2 tbsp. vegan butter (like Earth Balance)
1/4 cup chopped watercress
salt and pepper
What you’ll do:
Boil the potatoes and celery root in a pot. When fork tender, strain and return to the warm pot. Add in the vegan butter and mash with a fork or potato masher. For a smoother mash you can use an electric hand mixer. When the right consistency, stir in the watercress and season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.
Is this a new recipe you had? It’s actually great for items you have stored or about to buy. You wouldn’t believe that you can make something out of the only ingredients you had. Your photo and plating looks good too, great job!
