PREPARATION

1. 1. Bring salted water to boil in steam-jacketed kettle or large stockpot on stovetop. Add pasta; cook as directed on package. Drain; spread pasta onto lightly oiled sheet pans.
2. 2. Meanwhile, peel potatoes and coarsely shred in food processor. Transfer shredded potatoes to large bowl of cold water. Peel celeriac; shred.
3. 3. Drain potatoes well. Working in batches, spread shredded potatoes and celeriac onto clean kitchen towel. Roll up and twist to wring out as much liquid as possible.

Cook 8-10 minutes or until golden brown, turning once during cooking. Transfer to paper towels to drain; season immediately with additional salt.
6. 6. Repeat with remaining potato mixture adding more oil to skillet as needed.
