Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 3 medium Carrots
- 3 medium Parsnips
- 1 large Sweet potato
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 small Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the Russet potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and sweet potato. Chop them into evenly-sized chunks, approximately 1-inch pieces, to ensure even cooking.
Peel the garlic cloves and leave them whole.
Fill a large pot with water and add a pinch of salt. Place the prepared root vegetables and garlic cloves in the pot and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium and cook the vegetables for 20-25 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the vegetables and garlic in a colander and return them to the pot. Allow any excess moisture to evaporate by letting them sit in the hot pot for about 1 minute.
Add the unsalted butter to the pot. Mash the vegetables and garlic together using a potato masher or immersion blender until mostly smooth, leaving a few chunks for texture if desired.
Slowly stir in the heavy cream, adding it a little at a time, until the mash reaches your preferred consistency.
Season the root mash with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
Transfer the mash to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm alongside your favorite protein or as a standalone side dish. Enjoy!
