After all, parsnips cook similarly to potatoes, and many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/parsnip-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/parsnip-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">parsnip recipes<\/a> resemble your fave potato dishes. Just like spuds, you can roast parsnips, pan-fry them, add them to a pot roast and, of course, mash them.<\/p>\n<p>To make a recipe for parsnip mash, first boil the parsnips until soft and then mash them with butter, salt and milk until they reach creamy perfection. Compared to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/traditional-mashed-potatoes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/traditional-mashed-potatoes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mashed potatoes<\/a>, a recipe for mashed parsnips will have a slightly sweeter flavor with a hint of anise. They&#8217;re a delightful change of pace for dinners at home and holiday spreads.<\/p>\n<h2>Mashed Parsnips Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Chopped, peeled parsnips:<\/strong> At the store, choose small or medium parsnips that feel firm (not limp). Before cooking them, you don&#8217;t technically need to peel parsnips\u2014just as with potatoes or carrots. If you enjoy the extra fiber and texture from skins, simply scrub the parsnips before using them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt:<\/strong> A healthy pinch of salt will help bring out the savory flavors in this recipe for mashed parsnips.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Whole milk:<\/strong> You don&#8217;t need to use whole milk, but its fat will give your parsnip mash a smoother, creamier consistency. You could even add a few drops of half-and-half for extra creaminess.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> Butter adds to the creamy, smooth texture of your parsnip mash, and together with salt creates that classic savory, homey flavor in your food.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pepper:<\/strong> A bit of black pepper brings out the natural spice of parsnips and balances all the rich, creamy flavors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chives:<\/strong> A final touch of minced fresh chives adds brightness to this recipe for parsnip mash.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Cook the parsnips<\/h3>\n<p>Place the parsnips in a stockpot, and add enough water to cover the vegetables. Add 1\/2 teaspoon salt to the pot, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat, and cook the parsnips, uncovered, until they&#8217;re tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and return the parsnips to the stockpot.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip:<\/em> As when making boiled potatoes or pasta, add a bit of salt to the parsnip cooking water so the parsnips can absorb some of that salt (i.e., flavor) while they boil. This helps create a more flavorful dish in the end.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Heat the milk and butter<\/h3>\n<p>In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter until the mixture is just warm and the butter is melted. Set aside until ready to use.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip:<\/em> Be mindful here not to boil the milk-butter mixture. You just want the butter melted so it mashes smoothly with the parsnips in the next step.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Mash the parsnips<\/h3>\n<p>Gently mash the parsnips in the stockpot while gradually adding the milk-butter mixture until you reach your desired consistency. Stir in the pepper and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle with chives, and serve.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2070944\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Mashed-Parsnips-TOHcom24_277589_MD_P2_10_11_2b.jpg?fit=700,1024\" alt=\"Overhead shot of Mashed Parsnips.\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">MARK DERSE FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Mashed Parsnips Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Go for half potatoes:<\/strong> If you&#8217;re not ready to dive headfirst into a mashed parsnips recipe, dip your toes in the water with a mixture of half potatoes and half parsnips. You&#8217;ll find the water is just fine.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add cheese:<\/strong> Starchy vegetables, fat, salt and cheese\u2014a classic combination for the ages. Add your favorite cheeses in the last step for a savory, gooey dish. Try Parmesan, cheddar, Gruyere, blue cheese or whatever calls to you.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sprinkle in some fresh parsley:<\/strong> Parsnips and parsley are a great pairing since they&#8217;re part of the same botanical family. To give your recipe for mashed parsnips an herbal lift, either stir chopped fresh parsley into your parsnip mash or use minced parsley as a garnish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make vegan mashed parsnips:<\/strong> Make your parsnip mash recipe plant-based by replacing the whole milk with full-fat nondairy milk, whether it&#8217;s your favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-oat-milk-brands\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-oat-milk-brands\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">oat milk brand<\/a> or another kind. And replace the butter with vegan butter, coconut oil or extra-virgin olive oil.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use a food processor:<\/strong> If you like your mashes particularly creamy and whipped, mash these parsnips in the food processor instead of by hand. You&#8217;ll end up with a much smoother mash.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Mashed Parsnips<\/h2>\n<p>You can store your mashed parsnips in the refrigerator or freezer. Let them cool completely\u2014but don&#8217;t leave them out at room temp for longer than two hours before refrigerating them or placing them in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-freezer-containers\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-freezer-containers\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">freezer containers<\/a> and storing them in the freezer.<\/p>\n<h3>How long do mashed parsnips last?<\/h3>\n<p>Your recipe for mashed parsnips will last for three or four days in the refrigerator. In the freezer, they&#8217;ll stay fresh for up to three months. To use from frozen, let them thaw completely in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n<p>Reheat your leftover mashed parsnips in the microwave or over gentle heat on the stovetop, adding a splash of cream or milk if needed to make them creamy again.<\/p>\n<h2>Mashed Parsnip Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2070945\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Mashed-Parsnips-TOHcom24_277589_MD_P2_10_11_3b.jpg?fit=700,1024\" alt=\"Close shot of Mashed Parsnips.\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">MARK DERSE FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What can you serve with mashed parsnips?<\/h3>\n<p>Think of your mashed parsnips like mashed potatoes, and pair them with all the usual homestyle foods or holiday fare.
