We all know potatoes are full of carbs. But I love me some comfort food...pot roast with some mashed potatoes...yummy!
Instead of using mashed potatoes, I have opted for steaming celeriac (celery root) and then pureeing it in a food processor. Adding just a tablespoon of olive oil gives it a whipped consistency but you really don't even have to do that.
Now you aren't going to fool anyone that celeriac is potatoes....there is a mild celery taste but with just a little bit of salt and pepper and some juices from your roast, you'll be loving your low carb mashed 'potatoes'.
Here are some basic celeriac nutrition facts:
1 serving (155g) has only 9g of carbs, 0g of fat and no sugar. Whereas the same serving of potatoes has 33g of carbs, 0g of fat and 3g of sugar.
One large celery root makes approximately 4 servings.
