Peel and roughly chop the carrots and parsnips into evenly sized chunks to ensure even cooking.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the chopped carrots and parsnips, and simmer over medium heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are fork-tender.
Drain the cooked carrots and parsnips thoroughly in a colander, shaking off any excess water.
Return the drained vegetables to the pot, and place it back on the stove over low heat for 1-2 minutes to evaporate any remaining moisture.
Add the butter and milk to the pot. Use a potato masher to mash the vegetables until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding a little more milk if needed.
Season the mash with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Mix well to combine.
Transfer the mashed carrot and parsnip to a serving bowl. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish to compliment your favorite meals.
