Categories     Vegetable

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 1/2 lbs root vegetables (celeriac, potatoes, *swede, parsnips, carrots, Jerusalem artichokes)
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
extra virgin olive oil or butter

Steps:

  • *NOTE: swedes are known in US as rutabagas. I've also used yams/sweet potatoes, turnips and fingerlings in this recipe. ~fyi~.
  • Feel free to use any single vegetable or a mixture of your favorites. Cookgirl says that a mixture of root vegetables is the way to go!
  • Peel the root vegetables then chop up into golf-ball sized pieces, place in salted boiling water and cook until very tender.
  • Drain in a colander.
  • Place the vegetables back in the pan and mash with a potato masher.
  • You can mash them as smooth or as chunky as you like. Season with salt and pepper, then enrich the flavor with extra virgin oil or butter, or both, to taste. (I prefer using both olive oil and butter.).
  • Jamie continues to say: once cooked, the mashed vegetables can be kept warm in a bowl covered with kitchen foil over simmering water. This is handy when cooking for a dinner party -- (especially when timing is of utmost importance.).

Tips:

  • Choose a variety of root vegetables. This will give your mashed root vegetables a more complex flavor and texture. Good choices include potatoes, carrots, parsnips, turnips, and rutabagas.
  • Peel and chop the root vegetables. Cut them into evenly sized pieces so that they cook evenly. If you're using a variety of root vegetables, you can peel and chop them all at once.
  • Boil the root vegetables until they are tender. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes. You can check to see if they are done by piercing them with a fork. If the fork goes through easily, they are done.
  • Drain the root vegetables and mash them. You can use a potato masher, a food processor, or even a hand mixer to mash the root vegetables. If you are using a food processor or hand mixer, be careful not to over-mash the root vegetables, or they will become gluey.
  • Season the mashed root vegetables. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add butter, sour cream, or milk to make the mashed root vegetables more creamy.
  • Serve the mashed root vegetables. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course. You can also use mashed root vegetables to make other dishes, such as shepherd's pie or casseroles.

Conclusion:

Mashed root vegetables are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and they can be made with a variety of different root vegetables, so you can always find a combination that you like. Whether you serve them as a side dish or as a main course, mashed root vegetables are sure to be a hit.
