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.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: Select starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for a creamy texture. Avoid waxy potatoes like Red Bliss or New Potatoes, as they tend to hold their shape and won't mash well.
  • Use Fresh Parsnips: Fresh parsnips have a sweeter and more delicate flavor compared to older ones. Look for firm and smooth parsnips without blemishes or bruises.
  • Roast the Parsnips Before Mashing: Roasting the parsnips before mashing intensifies their natural sweetness and caramelizes them slightly. This adds a delicious depth of flavor to the mashed potatoes.
  • Cook the Onions Low and Slow: Caramelizing the onions is a key step in this recipe. Cook them over low heat for at least 30 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are deep golden brown and have a slightly sweet flavor.
  • Use Quality Butter and Milk: High-quality butter and milk will make a big difference in the taste of your mashed potatoes. Opt for unsalted butter and whole milk for the richest flavor.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your mashed potatoes generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or thyme for an extra layer of flavor.

Conclusion:

Mashed potatoes and parsnips with caramelized onions is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for any occasion. The creamy texture of the potatoes, the sweetness of the parsnips, and the savory flavor of the caramelized onions combine to create a truly unforgettable dish. Whether you serve it as a main course or a side dish, this recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy mashed potatoes, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
