"This is out of a Williams-Sonoma cookbook...it says it is important that the potatoes and parsnips be mashed by hand with a potato masher or put through a ricer. Do not use a food processor, as it will make the potatoes gluey. This dish is very rich on its own; a pat of butter makes it even more so."
