Garlic Mashed Potatoes And Parsnips Recipes

Steps:

• Peel and cut the potatoes and parsnips into even sized pieces. Put them into a large pot, cover them with cold water, and add a large pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and simmer until the vegetables are fork tender, about 20 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small pot gently heat the cream and butter over low heat. When the vegetables are done drain them well. Put the vegetables back into the pot over medium heat. Gently stir them to remove any excess moisture; be careful not to burn them. While the potatoes and parsnips are still warm, press them through a potato ricer or food mill into a bowl. Add the warm cream a little at a time and beat with a wooden spoon until the potatoes are fluffy. Season with salt and pepper and gently stir in the chives. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Peel potatoes and parsnips; cut into 1/2 inch chunks. Cook in a Dutch oven or large saucepan in boiling salted water until tender, about 25 to 30 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut about 1/2 inch off tip of garlic head, and discard. Place garlic bulb in a custard cup. Drizzle with olive oil. Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. Let cool. Squeeze garlic pulp out of the peels. mash with a fork, and set aside.
• Press the potatoes and parsnips through a potato ricer or food mill (or mash with a potato masher), and return them to the Dutch oven.
• Heat milk and butter in a small saucepan just until boiling. Stir into the potato mixture. Stir in the mashed garlic, the 3/4 tsp salt, and the 1/8 tsp pepper. heat through. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F with racks in upper and lower thirds.
• Wrap each potato in foil, then prick potatoes through foil several times with a fork. Cut off and discard 1/2 inch from top of garlic head, exposing cloves. Put garlic on a double layer of foil, then drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Twist foil tightly to enclose.
• Roast potatoes and garlic on rack in upper third of oven until tender, 1 to 1 1/4 hours.
• About 30 minutes before potatoes and garlic finish roasting, toss parsnips with 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons oil in a small baking pan. Spread out in an even layer and roast in lower third of oven, stirring once or twice, until tender and golden, about 25 minutes.
• Unwrap garlic and cool to warm, then squeeze cloves into a large bowl and mash well with a fork. Stir in roasted parsnips.
• Heat milk, butter, white pepper, and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until butter is melted.
• While milk mixture heats, unwrap baked potatoes and force through ricer into bowl with garlic and parsnips. (Ricer will catch skins.)
• Pour in hot milk mixture and gently stir with a large heatproof rubber spatula until combined.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add leeks, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add parsnips, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes more. Add potatoes and 3 cups cold water; bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Cook until parsnips and potatoes are very tender and begin to fall apart, about 20 minutes.
• Drain in a colander. Press hot parsnips and potatoes through a ricer back into saucepan over low heat. (Alternatively, mash by hand.) Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the milk, and combine well. Season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to boil; add potatoes, and boil until soft, about 20 to 25 minutes. Drain, and place in a large bowl.
• Combine potatoes with milk, butter, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix with an electric mixer or potato masher to your desired consistency. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Heat milk in a large pot over medium heat until warmed and just under a boil; add parsnips and 1 teaspoon salt, cover with a lid, and cook until parsnips are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain parsnips, reserving the warm milk.
• Mash parsnips, 1 cup reserved warm milk, butter, thyme, and pepper together in the pot using a hand mixer or by blending in a blender. Add more milk, salt, or pepper as desired.
