Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 3 medium parsnips
- 3 medium carrots
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and chop the russet potatoes, parsnips, and carrots into evenly sized chunks to ensure even cooking.
Peel and lightly smash the garlic cloves to release their flavor.
Place the potatoes, parsnips, carrots, and garlic into a large pot. Add enough cold water to cover the vegetables by about 1 inch.
Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water and bring the pot to a boil over high heat.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until all the vegetables are fork-tender.
Drain the vegetables in a colander and let them sit for 2-3 minutes to release excess steam. This will help prevent the mash from becoming watery.
Return the vegetables to the pot. Add the heavy cream, butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper.
Using a potato masher or an electric hand mixer on low speed, mash the vegetables until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning to taste, if necessary.
Transfer the mash to a serving bowl and optionally garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
