Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 1/2 lbs root vegetables (celeriac, potatoes, *swede, parsnips, carrots, Jerusalem artichokes)
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
extra virgin olive oil or butter

Steps:

  • *NOTE: swedes are known in US as rutabagas. I've also used yams/sweet potatoes, turnips and fingerlings in this recipe. ~fyi~.
  • Feel free to use any single vegetable or a mixture of your favorites. Cookgirl says that a mixture of root vegetables is the way to go!
  • Peel the root vegetables then chop up into golf-ball sized pieces, place in salted boiling water and cook until very tender.
  • Drain in a colander.
  • Place the vegetables back in the pan and mash with a potato masher.
  • You can mash them as smooth or as chunky as you like. Season with salt and pepper, then enrich the flavor with extra virgin oil or butter, or both, to taste. (I prefer using both olive oil and butter.).
  • Jamie continues to say: once cooked, the mashed vegetables can be kept warm in a bowl covered with kitchen foil over simmering water. This is handy when cooking for a dinner party -- (especially when timing is of utmost importance.).

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 cups whole milk
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 fresh bay leaves
2 pounds turnips
2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes
Freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Set a large pot over high heat and add the milk, cream, salt, thyme and bay leaves. Peel and cut the turnips into 1-inch chunks. Add to the pot and cover partially with a lid. Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the turnips for 30 minutes.
  • Cut the potatoes into 1-inch chunks. After the turnips have cooked for 30 minutes (it takes longer than the potatoes to cook), add the potatoes and continue to simmer until all the vegetables are very tender, about 20 more minutes (the tip of a paring knife should go through with little resistance). Discard the bay leaves and thyme. Drain the turnips and potatoes, reserving 2 cups of cooking liquid, and then mash. Add the cooking liquid and butter. Mix well and season with salt and pepper.
