Victoria's Whipped Parsnips
Parsnips are often overlooked in the typical American diet. I like them because they are tasty, healthy and are a great winter vegetable. If you are looking for a good side dish to replace mashed potatoes try Whipped Parsnips and you may just start adding them to your dinner regime.
INGREDIENTS
1 Pound Parsnips
1 Large Russet Potato
3 Garlic Cloves
1 Tablespoon Kosher Salt
1/3 Cup Sour Cream
4 Tablespoons Butter
1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
1/8 Teaspoon Grated Nutmeg
1/4 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper
Peel and chop the parsnips. Peel and chop the potato. Place the parsnips, potatoes and garlic cloves into a large pot. Cover with water and add 1 tablespoon kosher salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 20 minutes. You will want the parsnips to be soft. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water. Drain the vegies and then return them to the pan. Add the 1/2 cup cooking water and the sour cream. Add the butter, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, grated nutmeg and pepper. With a hand mixer beat on the medium speed for 3 to 4 minutes until all of the ingredients are nice and smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve warm. Serves 4
