Mashed Potatoes with Parsnips and Horseradish
Description
Mashed Potatoes with Parsnips and Horseradish begins by slicing and steaming equal parts gold potatoes and parsnips, with parsnips steamed slightly longer to ensure tenderness. The steamed vegetables are mashed together with softened butter, seasoned with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then combined with heavy cream to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. Prepared horseradish is incorporated for a gentle pungency and warmth that enhances the earthiness of the roots. The texture is silky yet substantial, balancing sweet parsnip flavors with the familiar comfort of mashed potatoes.
This mash serves well alongside roasted meats, poultry, or vegetables, adding a slightly spicy twist to a classic comfort food.
Ingredients
- 1 pound gold potatoes (or other medium starch content potatoes), peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch thick rounds
- 1 pound parsnip peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch thick rounds
- 4 tablespoons butter softened at room temperature, unsalted
- 1-2 tablespoons horseradish according to heat and flavor preference, prepared
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream , plus more as needed
Instructions
- Place the sliced potatoes and parsnips in a steamer (put the parsnips in first where they'll be closer to the hot steam with the potatoes on top since the parsnips require a little longer cooking time). Place the steamer on top of a pot of boiling water and cover with the lid. Steam for about 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Drain the pot and place the veggies in it along with the butter, salt, pepper and horseradish. Mash with a potato masher then add the cream and continue mashing until smooth, adding more cream until desired consistency is reached. Add more salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a warmed serving bowl and serve immediately.
