Ingredients

2 medium celery roots (about 1.5 lbs), peeled

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup heavy cream

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 garlic clove, minced

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon white pepper

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Fresh chives or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Prep the Celery Root

Wash and peel the celery roots thoroughly. Attach the 3-Blade Set to your vegetable shredder and secure it to the countertop with its stable suction base—no slipping or wobbling! Feed the celery root pieces into the hopper and turn the Z-shaped handle a few times to slice them into thin, even pieces.

Cook the Celery Root

Place the sliced celery root in a pot of boiling salted water. Cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well to remove excess moisture.

Grate the Parmesan

Switch to the 2-Blade Set on the cheese slicer. Add the Parmesan cheese block to the hopper and turn the handle effortlessly to shred it into fluffy, fine pieces. Reserve half for garnish. The food pusher keeps hands safe, and the detachable handle handles large batches with ease.

Blend the Mash

In a food processor or blender, combine the cooked celery root, heavy cream, butter, minced garlic, salt, white pepper, and nutmeg. Blend until silky smooth. For extra creaminess, pass through a fine sieve if desired.

Finish and Serve

Transfer the mash to a serving dish. Sprinkle the remaining grated Parmesan over the top. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley. Serve warm alongside your favorite main dish!

Tips and Variations

Celery Root Choice: Opt for firm roots to avoid excess wateriness.

Cheese Swap: Try aged cheddar or Gruyère (shredded with the 2-Blade Set) for different flavors.

Herb Boost: Add fresh thyme or rosemary during cooking.

Dairy-Free: Use coconut cream and vegan butter alternative.

Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat gently with a splash of cream.
