“My Celeriac Dauphinoise is probably my most popular creation, so I wanted to try this low carb root vegetable in other ways. Mashed in the same way I do my creamy Cauliflower-mash recipe, this beautiful side dish is extra special because it boasts a unique flavour. It also has a beautiful, creamy mouthfeel and perfect to mop up all those lovely keto sauces. It’s coming close to Christmas, so be sure to check out some keto-friendly ideas here that you could create for your loved ones. Get some additional inspiration in the Side Veg ideas to complement your dinner. More importantly: remember that there may be “traditions”, but there are no “rules” – so do whatever you want at Christmas, enjoy the time with your loved ones and forget about how perfect your turkey should be!” – Monya

Celeriac, also known as celery root, is the unsung hero of this dish. It’s low in carbs, making it a keto dieter’s dream. Beyond its macronutrient profile, celeriac is a nutritional powerhouse. It’s a rich source of vitamins C and K, offering immune-boosting and bone-strengthening benefits. Furthermore, it provides essential minerals like phosphorus, potassium, and iron, which are crucial for overall health.
The inclusion of cream in celeriac mash provides a dose of healthy fats that are essential in a keto diet. These fats help maintain ketosis, a metabolic state where the body burns fat for energy, aiding in weight loss. Cheddar cheese not only enhances the flavour but also adds protein and additional healthy fats.
So, embrace the benefits of celeriac and savour this delightful mash on your keto journey.
It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals. Consulting with a healthcare professional is advised before making significant dietary changes.

Cheesy Celeriac Mash
Per serving
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 medium celeriac
- 160 g (5.6 oz) double cream
- 60 g (2.1 oz) full-fat strong Cheddar cheese
- 1 TB unsalted butter
- salt and white pepper
- salt flakes
- freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Use a good-quality vegetable peeler to remove the skin from the celeriac. (If you slice the peel away, you risk more wastage than necessary.)
- It’s a messy affair and you may need to wipe the peeled celeriac with wet kitchen paper to clean. I yielded 840g celeriac from a medium-large celeriac and this was how the macros were calculated.
- Dice the celeriac into small cubes while you bring a pan of salted water to the boil.
- Boil the celeriac until the pieces have completely softened, this can take up to 15-20 minutes. When done, drain well in a colander and leave for a 2-3 minutes to steam off.
- Return the celeriac to the same pan (wipe it dry if necessary), and use a potato masher to mash well, adding the cream and Cheddar halfway through. Season the mix with salt and white pepper.
- For an extra creamy mash, transfer the mixture to a mini food processor and blitz until smooth.
- Keep warm and stir through the butter for extra richness just before serving. Season with salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper. Delicious!

can you pre cook this and microwave it / bake it later to heat through, OK?
Absolutely. I make loads of things ahead of time – I even freeze most things (apart from uncooked veg). xxx
It would help to have time estimates included.
