Instructions:
- Start by peeling and cubing the potatoes. Aim for roughly uniform pieces so they cook evenly.
- Chop the celery into small pieces.
- Place the cubed potatoes and chopped celery into a large pot.
- Fill the pot with enough water to cover the vegetables. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook until both the potatoes and celery are tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
- Once the potatoes and celery are tender, drain them in a colander.
- Return the drained vegetables to the pot or a large mixing bowl.
- Add the stick of butter to the hot potatoes and celery. The heat from the vegetables will help the butter melt.
- Season with 1 tsp of salt and 1/4 tsp of black pepper.
- Use a potato masher or a handheld electric mixer to begin mashing the potatoes and celery together. Continue until you reach your desired consistency.
- Gradually add the heavy whipping cream while continuing to mash. This will help to make the mash smoother and creamier.
- Finally, add the truffle butter and stir until it is fully melted and incorporated into the mash.
- Taste the mash and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to taste.
- Serve the Celery and Truffle Butter Mash hot, garnished with a sprinkle of black pepper or a drizzle of truffle oil if desired.
