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.

Categories     Potato     Side     Christmas     Thanksgiving     St. Patrick's Day     Dinner     Parsnip     Parsley     Simmer     Boil     Butter

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 medium red or white new potatoes, washed and cubed.
4 parsnips, peeled and cubed
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Dash cayenne pepper
Several grindings of black pepper
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes and parsnips in a large pot with water, making sure that the water completely covers them. Bring to a boil, lower the heat to medium, then cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally with a spoon. Test the tenderness of the potatoes with a fork; they should pierce easily and be tender, yet firm. Drain any remaining liquid and mash the potatoes with a potato masher until there are no visible lumps. Add the milk and butter and continue to mash until the potatoes are smooth and creamy. 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.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
1 head garlic (3 inches wide)
3 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 pound parsnips, peeled, woody cores removed if necessary, and parsnips cut into 1/3-inch pieces
2 cups whole milk
3/4 stick unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
Equipment: a potato ricer or food mill

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F with racks in upper and lower thirds.
  • Wrap each potato in foil, then prick potatoes through foil several times with a fork. Cut off and discard 1/2 inch from top of garlic head, exposing cloves. Put garlic on a double layer of foil, then drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Twist foil tightly to enclose.
  • Roast potatoes and garlic on rack in upper third of oven until tender, 1 to 1 1/4 hours.
  • About 30 minutes before potatoes and garlic finish roasting, toss parsnips with 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons oil in a small baking pan. Spread out in an even layer and roast in lower third of oven, stirring once or twice, until tender and golden, about 25 minutes.
  • Unwrap garlic and cool to warm, then squeeze cloves into a large bowl and mash well with a fork. Stir in roasted parsnips.
  • Heat milk, butter, white pepper, and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until butter is melted.
  • While milk mixture heats, unwrap baked potatoes and force through ricer into bowl with garlic and parsnips. (Ricer will catch skins.)
  • Pour in hot milk mixture and gently stir with a large heatproof rubber spatula until combined.

Tips for Making Mashed Potatoes with Caramelized Roasted Parsnips

  • Choose the right potatoes. Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for mashed potatoes because they have a high starch content, which makes them creamy and smooth.
  • Roast the parsnips before adding them to the mashed potatoes. Roasting the parsnips brings out their natural sweetness and caramelizes them, giving the mashed potatoes a complex flavor.
  • Use a potato ricer to get the smoothest mashed potatoes. A potato ricer will break down the potatoes into tiny pieces, resulting in a light and fluffy texture.
  • Don't overmix the potatoes. Overmixing will make the potatoes gluey. Mix them just until they are combined.
  • Add milk and butter gradually. Start with a small amount of milk and butter and add more as needed until you reach the desired consistency.
  • Season the mashed potatoes to taste. Salt and pepper are the basics, but you can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or herbs.
  • Conclusion

    Mashed potatoes with caramelized roasted parsnips are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The roasted parsnips add a unique and flavorful twist to the classic mashed potato recipe. These tips will help you make the best mashed potatoes with caramelized roasted parsnips:
