Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
1 pound parsnips, peeled and cut into large chunks, any tough woody cores discarded
4 sprigs thyme
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, plus more for topping
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup half-and-half
1 teaspoon sherry vinegar

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

  • 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.

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!
