GOLDEN MASHED POTATOES WITH PARSNIPS AND PARSLEY

Steps:

• Combine potatoes, parsnips, parsley root, if using, and garlic in heavy large saucepan. Add 3 cups water and broth; if necessary, add additional water to cover by 1 inch. Boil uncovered until vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes. Drain vegetables, reserving liquid.
• Return vegetables to pot. Add cream and butter. Set over low heat; mash until mixture is smooth; and fluffy, adding enough reserved cooking liquid to thin to desired consistency. Mix in 2 tablespoons parsley. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover; let stand at room temperature. Rewarm over low heat, stirring.) Transfer to bowl. Top with additional parsley.

GOLDEN GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place the potatoes and garlic in a medium sauce pan and cover with cold water. Add a generous amount of salt to the pan (I use 1 - 2 tbsp). Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender (about 20 minutes). Drain the potatoes and garlic. Mash them with a potato masher or pass through a ricer or food mill. Important - don't use a food processor or mixer if you don't want a pasty result.
• While mashing the potatoes, heat the cream for a few seconds in the microwave until it's warm. Add about a third of the cream to the potatoes along with a tbsp of butter. Stir until incorporated. Repeat the process two more times.
• Taste for seasoning and add more salt if necessary. If you need to keep them warm until the rest of the meal is finished, cover and place in a 200 degree oven.

• Mash the mixture with a potato masher until all the liquid is incorporated and the butter has melted. Transfer mixture to a metal mixing bowl. Cover with aluminum foil; set over double boiler to keep warm.
