Once you taste these Creamy Whipped Parsnips, you might never want to eat average, old mashed potatoes again! The sweetness and nuttiness of this underrated root veggie pairs perfectly with the savory notes from the russet potato, and of course, all the creamy, buttery additives you usually include in its classic Southern cousin... but trust us, this combo is even better. Whipped to fluffy yumminess, these Creamy Whipped Parsnips might actually show up at your table a lot more than you imagined they would!
Ingredients
- 1 pound parsnips, peeled and chopped
