By gnikylime

Ingredients

• 2 large Idaho potatoes (about 2 1/2 pounds), peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
• 1 celery root (about 1/2 pound), peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
• 4 cloves garlic, peeled
• Water
• 3/4 cup fat free plain yogurt
• 2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
• Salt and ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large saucepan, combine potatoes, celery root and garlic cloves. Pour over enough water to cover and set pan over high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10 - 20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender and celery root is almost fork-tender.
2. Drain and transfer potatoes, celery root and garlic to a large bowl. Add 1/2 cup yogurt and and mash or process until smooth (or lumpy, whatever you like!). Add more buttermilk if you want smoother potatoes. Fold in parsley. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
