Ingredients
- 2 lbs Whole celery root peeled, and cut into 2-inch by 1-inch batons
- Fat of choice
- Salt and paprika, or seasonings of choice
- Oil for frying
- ¼ cup Parmesan optional
Instructions
- Lightly toss the celery root in the fat of your choice; I use bacon grease.
- In a large saute pan or deep fat fryer, heat the oil until hot.
- Add the celery root fries to the hot oil, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Fry on one side until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes, then turn and continue frying until done, about 2 to 3 minutes more.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper-lined plate. Season to taste with salt, paprika, or whatever other seasonings you like, and garnish with Parmesan if desired.
Notes
The carb-count on this recipe is for a ½ pound appetizer-sized serving. If you're making this for yourself as a snack, I would cut down the portions size by at least half.
