Ingredients
- 2 pounds turnips peeled and chopped
- 1 pound parsnips peeled and chopped
- 1 granny smith apple peeled, cored and chopped
- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place turnips, parsnips and apple in a large pot. Cover with water and add 1 teaspoon salt.
- Bring water to a boil and simmer until fork tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well.
- Add butter and cream to the pot along with the drained vegetables. Place all ingredients in a food processor or blender *(see note). Pulse until vegetables reach desired consistency.
- Season generously with salt & pepper to taste.
Notes
- A potato or a couple of carrots can be added to the pot if desired.
- Be sure to drain the vegetables well so the dish is not watery.
- This recipe can be mashed with a hand masher or mixer but we found we got the best (and smoothest) results with a food processor (or a blender). The parsnips are fibrous and won't mash completely smooth with a hand masher. If you prefer a more 'smashed' and rustic texture, use a hand masher.
- Store leftover veggies in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Freeze in a zip-top bag for up to 8 weeks. Thaw and reheat on the stovetop.
