Golden Mashed Potatoes And Parsnips
Ingredients
- Many heartland cooks claim which parsnips give standard mashed potatoes a hint of sweetness. If you use the parsley root, mince the tops and add in them to the dish when the instructions call for chopped fresh parsley.
- 1 1/2 lb potatoes, peeled, cut into 2 inch pcs
- 1 lb parsnips, peeled, cut into 1 1/2 inch pcs
- 3 ounce trimmed parsley root (about 3 medium), peeled, but into 1 inch pcs (opt)

- 2 Tbsp. (1/4 stick) butter
- 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley or possibly parsley root tops Additional chopped fresh parsley
Directions

- Return vegetables to pot. Add in cream and butter. Set over low heat; mash till mix is smooth; and fluffy, adding sufficient reserved cooking liquid to thin to desired consistency.
