1celery rootpeeled and cut into small cubes
1tablespoonsalt
4tablespoonsunsalted butterdivided
3medium shallotsdiced
1clovegarlicminced
1/3poundGorgonzolaabout 6 ounces, crumbled
1/3cupmilk
Instructions
Cover potato and celery root with cold water in large pot. Add salt and cook on high until vegetables are very tender, about 20 minutes.
While the potatoes and celery root are cooking, melt half of the butter (2 tablespoons) in saute pan over medium high heat and add shallots. Cook until caramelized, stirring regularly to avoid burning, about 8-10 minutes. During the last minute of cooking, add garlic, stir, and cook for another minute or two.
Once potatoes and celery root are tender, drain water. Transfer to heavy-duty mixer fitted with whisk attachment. Beat potatoes and celery root with remaining butter and sauted shallots and garlic until mashed. Add gorgonzola and milk and beat until desired consistency is achieved. Season with salt and pepper, as desired.
