- 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
- Place the 2 pounds of chopped parsnips, 2 pounds of chopped Yukon Gold potatoes, and 4 peeled garlic cloves into a large pot.
- Cover the vegetables with cold water by about an inch. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water to season the vegetables from within.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Taste the purée and season with 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper and additional salt if needed, stirring well to combine.
- 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.
