- Step 1
Peel the sweet potatoes and parsnips, and cut into ¼-inch thick slices.
- Step 2
Combine the sweet potato and parsnip slices, cream, butter, salt and half of the horseradish in a 3- or 4-quart saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened. This will take about 40 to 50 minutes.
- Step 3
Remove from heat and mash with a potato masher to desired texture. Stir in half of remaining horseradish, making sure to incorporate well. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, additional horseradish and/or sweetener if needed. Serve hot.

Honestly this is not a particularly well thought recipe. Better to boil faster in water, then control the amount of dairy you add at the mashing stage
Gaby
Made it with daikon instead of parsnip and didn't add horseradish. Had to use one more tbs of butter because it started to stick half way. Finished it with 2 tbs of maple syrup. Everyone loved it!

I followed recipe as written, worked beautifully. Keep an eye on it, but it is plenty of liquid it will be fine it is super yum and was totally a crowd pleasing holiday side
Allison
Substituted ginger for horseradish, didn't add maple syrup. Really liked the dish as is but plan to use again - season with cumin and top with nuts when served. Also, think it would make a nice base for a poached egg.

I simplified this recipe at the end of a long day: I put the sweet potatoes in the oven to bake (400 degrees F) while I prepped the parsnips and put them to braise in the butter, half the salt, and the heavy cream. I didn't have any horseradish, so I used some grated nutmeg instead. So. Very. Delicious! Next time, I'll double the recipe for plenty of leftovers.

I had kuri squash on hand and substituted it for the sweet potato; a delicious combo. I cut the squash in half and roasted cut-side down (425 F) 'til tender, & peeled off the skin. Added the flesh to the parsnips once they softened (using same amount of cream etc. as in the recipe) and mashed once warmed, with a bit of extra cream and about 1 Tbsp maple syrup. Spouse kept asking me to "pass the potatoes." Note: with large parsnips you may want to peel them; the skin remained a bit stringy.

yes this can easily burn. added a bit of water to help out.

Used Polish beet horseradish, vegan Silk creamer, and vegan butter. Great!

Now one of my favorite mash recipes ever.....I never would have thought of pairing parsnip and sweet potato (called kumara in my part of the world), but it was amazing. I omitted the horseradish (didn't have any) and sweetner (don't do sweet with veg) and loved it. Would like to try with horseradish in the future.

I followed this recipe as written, and so omitted removingthe woody cores from the parnsips. Bad idea. Your should remove the cores. Or perhaps use another recipe entirely.
