Categories     side-dish

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

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.

Potatoes can be peeled and cut up to 2 days ahead. Store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container filled with water. Mashed potatoes can be made 2 hours in advance. Transfer them to a heatproof bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and place over a pot of simmering water. Uncover and stir to serve.

Time 55m

Yield Serves 8 to 10; makes about 10 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 stick unsalted butter, plus more for serving
3 sprigs fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a large pot with 2 tablespoons salt and garlic. Add water to cover by 1 inch and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are tender and can be pierced easily with a fork, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Drain potatoes and garlic in a colander. Return to pot and cook over medium, stirring frequently, until pale, dry, and a film begins to form on bottom of pot, 2 to 3 minutes. Working in batches, press through a ricer into a large bowl, or mash directly in pot with a potato masher. Cover to keep warm.
  • In a small saucepan, combine milk, butter, and thyme. Cook over medium until butter melts and milk is steaming. Discard thyme, then stir milk mixture into potatoes. Season with salt and pepper, top with a pat of butter and more pepper, and serve.

Parsnips give this rustic mash a nutty sweetness. Warm olive oil and thyme add more flavor (and dispense with the need for butter).

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1/2 pound parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds baby Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons thyme leaves

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook parsnips with 1/4 teaspoon salt for 5 minutes. Add potatoes and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until parsnips and potatoes are very tender but still hold their shape, 12 to 14 minutes.
  • Drain parsnips and potatoes. Return empty saucepan to high heat, allowing any remaining water to evaporate. Add remaining 3 tablespoons oil and the thyme. Cook until thyme starts to sizzle, about 1 minute. Add parsnips and potatoes, and smash with the back of a wooden spoon until combined but still chunky. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with oil.

Categories     side-dish

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

Steps:

  • Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes, parsnips, thyme sprigs, nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are well coated.
  • Add 1/2 cup water and the half-and-half to the pot, cover and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook, stirring occasionally and adding 1/4 cup more water at a time if the pot is dry, until the vegetables are very tender, 30 to 35 minutes (at the end, there will not be a lot of liquid left).
  • Discard the thyme sprigs and transfer the vegetables and any liquid to a food processor. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and process until very smooth. Add the vinegar and process to combine; season with salt and pepper. Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish. Sprinkle with more nutmeg.

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!
