Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Mashed Parsnips.

1. Step 1

   Start by gathering all your ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking experience.

2. Step 2

   In a large pot, pour in the whole milk and gently heat it over medium-low until it begins to simmer, filling your kitchen with a warm, inviting aroma.

3. Step 3

   Next, add the cubed parsnips and a pinch of salt to the pot.

4. Step 4

   Cover it up and let the mixture cook for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the parsnips are tender and ready to be transformed into something delicious.

   Once they’re cooked to perfection, drain the parsnips, but don’t forget to save that warm milk in a separate container—it’s packed with flavor! Now, return to the pot and mash the drained parsnips with one cup of the reserved warm milk, a generous pat of butter, a sprinkle of dried thyme, and a dash of ground black pepper.

   You can use a hand mixer or a blender for this step, making it as smooth or chunky as you like.

   If you prefer a creamier texture, feel free to add more warm milk until it’s just right.
