"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."

Thank you for sharing this lovely recipe Teresa. It was awesome. My parsnip hating hubby loved them prepared this way. The potatoes were light and creamy and had a subtle parsnip flavor. We will enjoy these again. Made for Autumn Fever 2019.
