3/4 pound parsnips
1 pound boiling or all-purpose potatoes, such as Yukon Gold

### - Choose fresh, firm parsnips. Scrub them well, but do not peel them. The skin adds flavor and nutrients to the salad. - Use a sharp knife or mandoline to shave the parsnips into thin ribbons. This will help them cook evenly and absorb the dressing better. - If you are using a raw parsnip, blanch it in boiling water for 1-2 minutes before adding it to the salad. This will help to soften the parsnip and remove some of its bitterness. - Use a flavorful dressing to enhance the taste of the parsnips. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper is a good option. You can also add other ingredients to the dressing, such as honey, mustard, or herbs. - Toss the parsnips with the dressing until they are evenly coated. Let the salad sit for at least 15 minutes before serving, so that the flavors can meld together. - Serve the salad on a bed of greens, such as arugula or spinach. You can also add other vegetables to the salad, such as carrots, celery, or apples. - Shaved parsnip salad is a versatile dish that can be served as a side dish, main course, or appetizer. It is also a great way to use up leftover parsnips. ###
