WHIPPED VEGETABLE TRIO



Whipped Vegetable Trio image

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
