Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potato Baskets:

   • Begin by boiling the Yukon gold potatoes until they are tender. Once cooked, mash them and mix them with the grated celery root.
   • In a separate pan, sauté the onion until it’s translucent. Drain any excess liquid and add the sautéed onion to the mashed potato mixture.
   • Crack the eggs into the mixture, add the flour, salt, and pepper to taste, and knead everything together until it forms a smooth dough.
   • Shape the dough into balls approximately 6 cm (2 1/2 inches) wide.
   • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
   • Grease a cookie sheet and place the potato balls on it. Flatten the balls slightly and create indentations in the centers to form baskets. Set aside for the filling.

2. Prepare the Filling:

   • In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes soft and translucent.
   • Pour in the soy sauce and stir well.
   • Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and become tender.
   • Stir in the dried thyme and sage, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove the skillet from the heat.

3. Assemble and Bake:

   • Fill each potato basket generously with the prepared mushroom filling, ensuring they are well-packed.
   • Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the filled baskets.
   • Place the filled baskets in the preheated oven and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the potato baskets are slightly browned and firm to the touch.
   • Once baked, remove the potato baskets from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
   • Garnish with fresh thyme leaves or parsley, if desired, and serve alongside a refreshing salad for a wholesome meal that’s sure to impress!
