Celery and Onion Mashed Potatoes
"A slightly different way to serve this classic dish. I prefer the potatoes mashed with a fork, but for a finer texture you could push them through a potato ricer and then add the onions and celery."

These potatoes wer very good.I had all the ingridients on hand and had to use up some celery.I am glad I stumbled onto this recipe.I will definitely make these again. -
Very yummy! More refined than regular mashed potatoes, but still easy to make. We loved it. -
The celery adds a cool contrasting flavor to the potatoes... "tingly" is the best description I can come up with. I liked these a lot, just not quite as much as potatoes with a green such as watercress or kale - but I think that's just personal taste. -
A delicious way to make mashed potatoes with a little different twist. The celery and onion added a very "fresh" flavor. I will definately be making this again. -

This is a picture of me and my husband in Portugal, climbing up above the clouds with our bikes.
Right now we are travelling around the world on our bicycles, so I only pop onto Zaar occasionally, when internet connections and time allow me to. If I don't reply to a message about one of my recipes, now you know why! Our trip may take several years so if it's urgent, it's probably better for you to post in the forums ;)
Good food is really important to me -- I am happy to pay extra for food that I feel is produced in a sustainable and ethical way and always try to eat using seasonal produce.
When we were in the UK we rarely shopped at supermarkets, trying instead to favour small producers, although we were very lucky in that we lived in London and there was lots of choice.
We also were fortunate enough to have a weekly organic veg box delivered to our door, filled with so many lovely vegetables for very little money. It really opened my horizons in terms of the variety of vegetables I eat. If you're in the UK, check out Riverford for a box supplier as they're amazing!
When I'm not eating I love to take pictures and travel with my husband.
