Creamy Whipped Parsnip and Potato Purée ingredients

  • 2 lbs parsnips, peeled and chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 0.75 cup heavy cream
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper

How to make Creamy Whipped Parsnip and Potato Purée

  1. Place the 2 pounds of chopped parsnips, 2 pounds of chopped Yukon Gold potatoes, and 4 peeled garlic cloves into a large pot.
  2. Cover the vegetables with cold water by about an inch. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water to season the vegetables from within.
  3. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until both the parsnips and potatoes are fork-tender and easily pierced.
  4. Carefully drain the cooked vegetables and garlic thoroughly in a colander, shaking gently to remove as much excess water as possible. This prevents a watery purée.
  5. Return the drained vegetables and garlic to the empty hot pot. Add 3/4 cup of heavy cream and 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the pot.
  6. Using an immersion blender, potato ricer, or a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, purée the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. If using a stand mixer, start on low speed and gradually increase to medium-high.
  7. Taste the purée and season with 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper and additional salt if needed, stirring well to combine.
  8. Transfer the creamy whipped parsnip and potato purée to a serving dish. Garnish with 2 tablespoons of fresh chopped chives just before serving for a pop of color and fresh flavor.
