MASHED PARSNIPS



Mashed Parsnips image

I was tricked into trying mashed parsnips (I was told they were mashed potatoes) and fell instantly in love. I haven't made mashed potatoes since. Mashed parsnips are full of much more flavor, slightly sweet, but the same great texture. And they are much healthier!

Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
2 pounds parsnips
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) butter
2 tablespoons chopped chives

Steps:

  • Peel and cut the potatoes and parsnips into even sized pieces. Put them into a large pot, cover them with cold water, and add a large pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and simmer until the vegetables are fork tender, about 20 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small pot gently heat the cream and butter over low heat. When the vegetables are done drain them well. Put the vegetables back into the pot over medium heat. Gently stir them to remove any excess moisture; be careful not to burn them. While the potatoes and parsnips are still warm, press them through a potato ricer or food mill into a bowl. Add the warm cream a little at a time and beat with a wooden spoon until the potatoes are fluffy. Season with salt and pepper and gently stir in the chives. Serve immediately.

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil
3 large white onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 baking potatoes (such as Yukon gold, about 2 pounds), peeled and cubed

3 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat; reduce to medium. Cook onions with sugar and salt, stirring occasionally, until onions brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for mashing, as they have a fluffy texture and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients well.
  • Cook the potatoes thoroughly: Make sure the potatoes are cooked until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork. This will ensure that they mash smoothly.
  • Use a ricer or potato masher: A ricer will give you the smoothest mashed potatoes, but a potato masher can also be used. Avoid using a food processor, as this will make the potatoes gluey.
  • Add the milk and butter gradually: Start with a small amount of milk and butter, and then add more as needed until the potatoes reach the desired consistency. This will help prevent the potatoes from becoming too thin or watery.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or paprika.
  • Serve immediately: Mashed potatoes are best served immediately after they are made. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can refrigerate them for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Cheese parsnip mashed potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are creamy and flavorful, with a hint of sweetness from the parsnips. This recipe is also a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. Whether you are serving them for a holiday dinner or a weeknight meal, these cheese parsnip mashed potatoes are sure to be a hit.
