Potato and Celeriac

Potatoes are the most versatile vegetable.  Variety of cooking potatoes: boiled, fried, baked etc

I got this celeriac from the market the other day, and I cooked mashed potato with it.

The flavour of celeriac goes very well with the potato, the texture may be not as smooth, but I like it that way.  It is a delightful dish friendly and easy to prepare.
