What you’ll need…

2 heads celery root

6 strips bacon

1/2 cup green onions

1/4 cup milk

1/4 cup parmesan cheese

2 TBSP butter

salt & pepper

This is not a very healthy dish. My sincerest apologies…So tasty, so creamy, so bacon-y…

Until recently I had not discovered the tastiness that is celery root! Amazing! Chop the celery root into 1″ pieces. Place the chunks in a large pot, add a generous amount of salt, fill with water, and let them boil until they’re nice and soft (about 8 minutes).

In the meantime, mince the green onions and fry up the bacon until it’s nice and crispy. Set aside. Once it’s cooled down a bit, chop up into tiny pieces. By this time the celery root will be ready. Drain the water, and mash the root with the milk, cheese, and butter. Once it’s evenly mashed, fold in the bacon and the green onions. Add a touch of pepper. There, simple as that!
