     Celery root is delicous. One of those "hidden" vegetables in stores. No, regular stalk celery isn't the same. Stalk celery has those "strings" ... and not the same taste. I like it just steamed with sprinkle salt and pepper. Tried this recipe and very tasty. Will make for family and friends. - 11/9/12

     I sub'd the celery root with cooked carrots, added some, butter, brown sugar and nutmg. Old family treat. - 11/9/12

     I omitted the butter & yogurt, & replaced with EVOO to make this vegan. Next time I'll cut EVOO to only 2T. - 11/9/12

     Update: I wasn't crazy about this the first time but something about it intrigued me, so I made this recipe again, but with double the amount of garlic, sweet potato and yogurt and NO butter. I like it much better and now it's fat free! - 11/11/12

     Kathy, celery is nothing like celery root, in fact, I used celery root in place of mash potatoes when I was doing Susan Summer's no-carb Thanksgiving. It mashed, white and creamy just like potatoes but w/celery fragrant. Hope that helps. - 11/9/12

     This was really good. I first fried the veggies for about 5 minutes, then covered in chicken stock for added flavor. Drained, added butter, browned some garlic and fresh thyme, ran potato celeriac through a potatoes ricer (don't recommend, just mash was messy)--sour cream and milk, season, wonderful - 4/2/21

     My "grands" really enjoyed this recipe. I added some carrots and sprinkled some "no salt" seasoning on it. - 12/20/18

     I didn't like the recipe at all. Just tasted like mashed potatoes. Pretty bland - 1/28/13

     I made this for Thanksgiving this year (2012) and it was a hit! I omitted the Butter but doubled the Recipe since there were 9 of us, but I still had enough for 4 plates of leftovers. I will be making it again! - 11/23/12

     Mrs. Tugger - Sweet potatoes are very easy to peel after blanching or cooking and I think you could make that work with this recipe. - 11/14/12

     I have bad wrists due to fractures and like the idea of the carrots, sweet potatoes are hard to peel - 11/9/12
  • KATHY-FREDERICK
     Would regular celery work in place of "celery root" in this recipe? I've never heard of celery root. - 11/9/12
