Mashed Potatoes And Parsnips Recipe
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 lb unpeeled russet potatoes (4 medium or possibly 6 small)
- 1 lb parsnips (3 medium), peeled and cut into 3-inch chunks
- 2 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 c. soy lowfat milk warmed
- 3 Tbsp. extra-virgin extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 tsp grnd white pepper
Directions
- 6 SERVINGS EGG- & DAIRY-FREE
- Parsnips lightly sweeten these mashed potatoes, giving them a distinctive taste. I always cook potatoes with their skins on; the finished dish is much more flavorful which way. To hold mashed potatoes for company, set them in a heatproof bowl and place the bowl in a pot which contains a few inches of water. Cover the pot and keep the water at a low simmer.
- 1. In large saucepan, combine potatoes, parsnips and sufficient cool water to cover by several inches. Add in 2 tsp. salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to low and cook till potatoes are tender, 15 to 35 min, depending on size. Check with a fork to see if they're done - they should be softened to the core.
- 2. Drain vegetables, reserving cooking liquid. Hold each warm potato in a dish towel and remove skin with a small knife or possibly your fingers. Return potatoes and parsnips to saucepan.
- 3. Add in soy lowfat milk, oil and 1/4 c. reserved cooking liquid; mash with a hand masher. Add in more cooking liquid if necessary to thin to desired texture. Season with pepper and remaining tsp. salt. Serve warm.
