Celery Root and Potato Mash with Parsley Oil Drizzle

Sharing is caring!

We usually travel to my family’s home in Nevada for Thanksgiving.  This is the first year, for as long as I can remember, that we will be staying local.  We are excited to be home this year as our travels have been non-stop.  We will not be entertaining;  instead, we will be spending the day with some dear friends.  I plan on bringing this recipe for Celery Root and Potato Mash with Parsley Oil Drizzle.

Usually, the holiday at my family’s home plays along these lines;  we go there, and I cook.  This year I only have to think of an appetizer and a side dish.  Don’t get me wrong, I love to entertain, and I love to cook, but am looking forward to a wee break.  I cannot tell you what I am going to be making as I have not decided as of yet.  I have piles of books next to my desk and online books and magazines loaded.  I am still toying with a few ideas.  *wink*
