Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 pound Yukon gold potatoes -- (1 medium), peeled and diced
1 pound kohlrabi -- peeled and cut into large pieces
1 large celery root -- about 1 pound, peeled and cut into large pieces
1 tablespoon plain yogurt -- to 2 (to taste)
1 tablespoon butter -- (optional)
Salt and freshly ground pepper -- to taste

1. Place the potatoes, kohlrabi and celery root in a steamer above 2
inches of boiling water. Cover and steam 15 to 20 minutes, until tender.

2. Drain, cover tightly and allow to sit for 5 minutes, to steam and dry
out. Mash with a potato masher or through a food mill fitted with a medium
screen. Add the yogurt and the butter and mix together until incorporated.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Yield: 6 servings.

Advance preparation: You can make this up to an hour before serving.
Reheat gently on top of the stove.

Nutritional information per serving: 68 calories (85 with the butter); 0
grams fat (2 grams with the butter); 0 grams saturated fat (1 gram with
the butter); 0 grams polyunsaturated fat; 0 grams monounsaturated fat (1
gram with the butter); 0 milligrams cholesterol (5 milligrams with the
butter); 15 grams carbohydrates; 4 grams dietary fiber; 94 milligrams
sodium (does not include salt to taste; 111 milligrams with the butter); 3
grams protein

This simple combination tastes so good to me, it hardly needs
embellishment. The butter is optional. If you miss old-fashioned buttery
mashed potatoes, let this be a stand-in.
