Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 pounds Idaho potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices (about 10 to 12)
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
1/2 cup sour cream
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoons ground white pepper
Caramelized Roasted Parsnips

Steps:

  • Place the potato slices in a large saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium high, and cook until tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain potatoes in a colander.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter until just boiling.
  • Transfer the potatoes to bowl of an electric mixer fitted with whisk attachment, and mix on low speed until potatoes are smooth. Add the hot-milk mixture, sour cream, salt, and pepper, and mix, increasing speed to high as milk is combined, until the potatoes are fluffy. Serve garnished with the Caramelized Roasted Parsnips.

Tips:

  • Choose the right parsnips: Look for parsnips that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid any parsnips that are soft, wrinkled, or have brown spots.
  • Peel the parsnips thinly: This will help the parsnips to caramelize better.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan: This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the parsnips from burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Give the parsnips enough space to roast so that they can caramelize properly.
  • Roast the parsnips at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the parsnips quickly and evenly.
  • Stir the parsnips occasionally: This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Don't overcook the parsnips: They should be tender but still have a little bit of a bite to them.

Conclusion:

Caramelized roasted parsnips are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables! With their sweet and savory flavor, these parsnips are sure to be a hit at your next meal.
