     2 lb Boiling potatoes, peeled;

          Ieces


     1 lb Celery root, peeled; cut


          -into 1" pieces

 In a large saucepan combine the potatoes and enough salted cold water to

 covered, for 4 minutes. Add the celery root, simmer the


 


 vegetables, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are very tender,


 and drain them well. While the vegetables are still hot force

 Add the butter, milk, lemon juice, salt and pepper, and stir the puree


 well. (The puree may be made up to 1 day in advance and kept covered and


 chilled.) In a heavy saucepan reheat the puree over low heat, stirring


 constantly, until it is hot.
