Whipped Vegetable Trio Recipes

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes, parsnips, celery root and turnips and cut into 1-to-2-inch pieces. Combine in a large pot and cover with twice the volume of cold water; add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to medium and boil gently until the vegetables are tender, 20 to 30 minutes. (Insert a paring knife into a potato; there should be no resistance.)
• Drain the vegetables well and return to the pot. Let the pot sit 5 minutes over low heat to cook off any excess liquid. Run the hot vegetables through a food mill into a large bowl. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, then whip in the butter.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400ºF.
• Toss vegetables with dressing and crushed pepper; spread onto rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake 15 min.
• Stir in nuts. Bake 20 min. or until potatoes are tender.

• For Vinaigrette:
• Blend all ingredients in blender or processor until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.) Makes about 1 1/3 cups.

Steps:

• Place the turnip, carrots, onion, and potatoes in a pot with water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and cook until fork-tender.
• Drain the water from the vegetables, and stir in the butter until melted. Beat with an electric mixer, adding milk gradually, until light and fluffy. Do not beat for too long, just until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve hot.
