Best 5 Carrot Parsnip And Potato Colcannon Recipes

CARROT, PARSNIP AND POTATO COLCANNON

Steps:

• Place potatoes, carrots, and parsnips in a saucepan and cover by an inch with water. Add salt to taste, bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and cover partially. Simmer until tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain, return to pot and cover pot tightly. Leave to steam in covered pot for 5 minutes. Peel potatoes.
• Meanwhile, heat olive oil over medium heat in a heavy skillet and add leek. Cook, stirring often, until it begins to wilt, about 3 minutes. Add salt to taste and continue to cook, stirring, until very tender, 3 to 5 more minutes. Remove from heat.
• Mash vegetables with a potato masher or in a standing mixer fitted with the paddle, or put through a food mill. Combine milk and butter and heat until butter melts. Gradually add to purée, stirring or beating on low speed. Stir in leeks and mix until well blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Put through the fine or medium blade of a food mill, or press through a medium-mess strainer. Garnish if desired with dill or chervil. Serve hot.

ROASTED POTATOES, PARSNIPS AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Peel the veggies and halve any larger ones lengthways. I like to quarter my potatoes (sometimes more if they are large).
• Break the garlic bulb into cloves, smash them slightly and take peels off. (Jamie leaves his unpeeled, but I prefer the garlic peeled.).
• Pick the rosemary leaves off the stalks.
• Put the potatoes and carrots into a large pan of salted boiling water on high heat and bring back to a boil. Boil for about 5 minutes, then add the parsnips and cook for another 4 minutes.
• Drain the veggies in a colander and allow to steam dry.
• Take the carrots and parsnips out and set aside.
• "Fluff" the potatoes in the colander by shaking it around a little. It's important to do this if you want the yummy crispy bits and edges.
• Put a large roasting pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the garlic and rosemary leaves. Then put all the veggies into the pan with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Stir them around to get them well coated.
• Spread the veggies evenly out into one layer. This is important, so they will roast, not steam.
• Put them into the preheated oven and cook for about 45 minutes to an hour. This will depend on your oven. I like to stir them up at least once while cooking. Watch so they don't burn.

CARROT, PARSNIP AND POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Transfer to a greased 3-qt. baking dish. Cover and bake until the vegetables are tender, 40-45 minutes. Uncover and bake until cream has thickened and is beginning to turn golden brown, 10-15 minutes longer. Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.

ROASTED PARSNIPS AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• If the parsnips and carrots are very thick, cut them in half lengthwise. Slice each diagonally in 1-inch-thick slices. The vegetables will shrink while cooking, so don't make the pieces too small. Place the cut vegetables on a sheet pan. Add the olive oil, salt, and pepper and toss well. Roast for 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the vegetables, tossing occasionally, until the parsnips and carrots are just tender. Sprinkle with dill and serve hot.

ROASTED CARROT, PARSNIP, AND POTATO COINS

Steps:

• Position 1 rack in top third and 1 rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 375°F. Spray 2 heavy large rimmed baking sheets with nonstick spray. Cut carrots and parsnips into 3- to 4-inch lengths. Fit processor with 1/4-inch-thick slicing disk. Working in batches, place carrot pieces upright and fitting snugly side by side in feed tube of processor. With machine running, use plunger to push down firmly on carrots and cut uniform round slices. Transfer carrot coins to extra-large bowl. Repeat with parsnips, then potatoes.
• Add olive oil, 2 teaspoons coarse salt, coriander, cardamom, and freshly ground black pepper to vegetable mixture and toss to coat. Divide mixture between prepared baking sheets. Roast vegetables until tender and golden brown around edges, about 1 hour. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm in 350°F oven until heated through, about 15 minutes.
• Transfer roasted vegetable coins to large bowl and serve.
