Steps:
- Peel the potatoes, parsnips, celery root and turnips and cut into 1-to-2-inch pieces. Combine in a large pot and cover with twice the volume of cold water; add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to medium and boil gently until the vegetables are tender, 20 to 30 minutes. (Insert a paring knife into a potato; there should be no resistance.)
- Drain the vegetables well and return to the pot. Let the pot sit 5 minutes over low heat to cook off any excess liquid. Run the hot vegetables through a food mill into a large bowl. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, then whip in the butter.
VEGETABLE WHIP
This is an old French Canadian recipe I have been making for years. Even people who don't like turnip will like this, since the addition of the other vegetables blend in and hide the normally strong turnip taste. Depending on your taste, you can experiment with the relative amounts of the vegetables, eg: increase the onion or potatoes, decrease the turnip.

ROOT VEGETABLE WHIP
This makes a nice change from mashed potatoes, you may also oven-roast the veggies in place of boiling if desired. All tastes differ so you will need to experiment with amounts of vegetables, start with these amounts the first time you make this, the next time you make increase or decrease the veggies as desired, also adjust the roasted garlic puree to taste, or you may omit completely, you may roast your garlic bulb up to a day ahead in refrigerate. This recipe pairs well with a roasted chicken, turkey or a ham dinner :)

WHIPPED VEGETABLE TRIO
When you only have a few potatoes and want them mashed, fill in with parsnips -a root vegetable similar in shape to a carrot. The first frost of the season turns their starch to sugar, giving parsnips a subtle, sweet taste. Cook potatoes, carrots and parsnips together for a twist on garden-variety whipped potatoes. -LeAnn Bird, West Jordan, Utah
