MASHED PARSNIPS
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!

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.
PARSNIP MASHED POTATOES (ANTARCTICA)
This recipe is from week 10 of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am attempting to cook one meal from every nation on Earth, and Antarctica is my 10th stop (yes I know Antarctica is technically not a country, but I do love a challenge). This recipe came from a transcript of a sous chef cooking them at McMurdo Station in Antarctica. The transcript did not provide the measurements; I had to guess on those.

Steps:
- Peel the potatoes and parsnips and boil them with the garlic until all the vegetables are soft.
- Meanwhile, saute the onions until they are translucent but not brown (you want the final dish to have a creamy white color).
- When the vegetables and onions are done, mash them all together and add the cream, butter, salt and white pepper.
MASHED PARSNIPS AND POTATOES
The sweetness of the parsnips is balanced by adding potatoes. If your parsnips are very large, cut out the woody core before cooking them.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add leeks, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add parsnips, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes more. Add potatoes and 3 cups cold water; bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Cook until parsnips and potatoes are very tender and begin to fall apart, about 20 minutes.
- Drain in a colander. Press hot parsnips and potatoes through a ricer back into saucepan over low heat. (Alternatively, mash by hand.) Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the milk, and combine well. Season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
MASHED POTATOES AND PARSNIPS
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.
Tips:
- Select the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are ideal for mashing because they have a high starch content, which makes them creamy and smooth.
- Cook the potatoes properly: Boil the potatoes in salted water until they are tender but not mushy. Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot over low heat to dry out any excess moisture.
- Use fresh parsnips: Fresh parsnips have a sweeter and more flavorful taste than older parsnips. Look for parsnips that are firm and smooth, with no blemishes or bruises.
- Roast the parsnips: Roasting the parsnips brings out their natural sweetness and caramelizes them slightly. Toss the parsnips with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting them in a preheated oven at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and browned.
- Mash the potatoes and parsnips together: Use a potato masher or ricer to mash the potatoes and parsnips until they are smooth and creamy. Add butter, milk, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately: Mashed parsnip potatoes are best served immediately after they are made. They can be garnished with chopped fresh parsley or chives.
Conclusion:
Mashed parsnip potatoes are a delicious and nutritious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their creamy texture and sweet flavor, mashed parsnip potatoes are sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
