ESSENCE OF EMERIL SHOW#EE2281

For remoulade: Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix until
incorporated. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside

For the celery root French fries: Lightly toss the celery root in the
flour. Dip into the egg mixture, removing any excess. Turn into the bread
crumbs, coating both sides completely. In a large saute pan, heat the
vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, add the celery root fries, carefully
not to over crowd the fries. Fry on one side until golden, about 23
minutes. Turn over and continue frying until done, about 23 minutes.
Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper lined plate. Spoon a small
amount of the remoulade onto the plate and pile the fries in the center.
Garnish with the Parmesan Cheese and chives.

Yield: 4 appetizer servings
