Potato & Parsnip Mash
Posted by jamescollier on Nov 19, 2009
Kim and I hosted a pre-Thanksgiving potluck with a few friends--we fried a turkey and made dessert, and everyone else brought their favorite side dishes. This dish was made by our friend Hilary, and was a nice twist on a dish that is a staple in many households. I love the texture that the parsnips add.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1/2 pound parsnips (about 2 medium) cut into 1-inch pieces
- Salt & pepper
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
Instructions
Place the potatoes and parsnips in a large pot. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons salt, reduce heat, and simmer until tender, 15 - 18 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Mash with the milk, butter, scallions, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

i didn't even know what parsnips looked like when i went to the store to buy them but i really liked how this turned out. fyi, parsnips taste like spicy carrots. :)
also, you can use other potatoes if you want but the Yukon Gold makes this dish such a pretty golden color.

I've made mashed potatoes with just about every variety available, but Yukon Gold are my favorite. They're so sweet and smooth.
