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.

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!

The sweetness of the parsnips is balanced by adding potatoes. If your parsnips are very large, cut out the woody core before cooking them.

Stir in the parsley, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt, and beat thoroughly with a wooden spoon until all the seasonings are completely mixed in. Cover and serve warm.

A NO RECIPE BAKED MASHED PARSNIPS, ONION & CAULIFLOWER



A No Recipe Baked Mashed Parsnips, Onion & Cauliflower image

We all know about mashed parsnips, and mashed cauliflower, but how about both for a great flavor. A little onion and garlic and then put in a pan topped with a parmesan crust. This is not hard and no fancy whipping, just a potato masher, a little butter and cream, a few bread crumbs and cheese to top it off and done. NO RECIPE. Now, I call this a no recipe, because you can more or less of each ingredient according to your directions, Some like theirs creamier, some don't; some more parsnips some less, so add what you want. However, even though this is a no recipe, these are the approximately ingredients I use. But, feel to use more or less to your liking. Make it your own by adding herbs or even different cheeses.

Provided by SarasotaCook

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 50m

Yield 6-8 , 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 head cauliflower (cut in bite size pieces, I remove the thick stems)
3 parsnips (peeled and chopped)
1 small onion, fine chopped
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup heavy cream (light cream or even milk will work, just not as creamy)
salt
pepper
1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Vegetables -- In a large pot, add the cauliflower and parsnips and then top with enough salted water to cover the vegetables. Bring up to a boil and then reduce to medium and cook until the parsnips and cauliflower is tender. They should take about 10-15 minutes. Drain and return to the pot to dry out the extra water. Reduce the temp to medium low.
  • Topping -- As the vegetables cook -- Just put the butter in a small microwavable bowl or cup and melt, just a few seconds. Remove and let cool a minute or so, then stir in the bread crumbs and cheese and set to the side.
  • Mash -- Now in the pot with the vegetables after they have dried a minute or so (medium, low heat), add the butter, cream, onion, garlic, salt and pepper and start slow. Mash and see what the texture is. You can always use a bit more cream or a bit more butter, but I start slow and add a little at a time. Mash until you get the consistency you like.
  • Bake -- 350 degree oven preheated. Just add the mashed vegetables to a small baking dish sprayed with non-stick spray and then top with the bread crumbs. Bake until golden brown. About 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve -- With anything and enjoy. It's like a baked potato dish, but no spuds - Just healthier. Really good!
