Ingredients

1 1/4 pounds sweet potatoes
1 pound parsnips
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1 packed tablespoon freshly grated horseradish, divided
Additional salt and horseradish to taste
Sugar, maple syrup or honey, if needed to sweeten

Steps:

Peel the sweet potatoes and parsnips, and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Combine the sweet potato and parsnip slices, cream, butter, salt and half of the horseradish in a 3- or 4-quart saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened. This will take about 40 to 50 minutes.
Remove from heat and mash with a potato masher to desired texture. Stir in half of remaining horseradish, making sure to incorporate well. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, additional horseradish and/or sweetener if needed. Serve hot.
