I followed Bergy's advise and did not add the additional butter (also didn't have chives on hand). I loved it! I have made this about 4 times now, and have replaced regular mashed potatoes at our house.

We really enjoy Celeric mashed with potatoes - I didn't have fresh chives so had to leave them out. I did cut back on the butter and it was still delicious. I love the ease of boiling the garlic potatoes & celeric all together - then mashing them. It is important that you drain really well because the celeric tends to retain quite a bit of moisture.
