2 lbs parsnips, peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces |
1/2 cup butter |
6 scallions, chopped,about 1 1/2 cups |
3 cloves garlic, minced |
1/2 cup half-and-half |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1 1/2 teaspoons of grated lemons, zest of |
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper |
1 tablespoon of minced fresh parsley |
Directions:
1. In pot over high heat combine potatoes and parsnips with enough water to cover; boil.
2. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 25-30 minutes and then drain.
3. In same pot melt butter over low heat; add scallions and garlic; cook until softened- about 4 minutes.
4. Return potatoes and parsnips to pot; remove from heat.
5. Add next 4 ingredients; mash.
6. Transfer to bowl; dot with additional butter if desired.
7. Sprinkle with parsley.
