Ingredients

• 2 large Russet potatoes
• 3 medium Carrots
• 3 medium Parsnips
• 1 large Sweet potato
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 small Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the Russet potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and sweet potato. Chop them into evenly-sized chunks, approximately 1-inch pieces, to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Peel the garlic cloves and leave them whole.

Step 3

Fill a large pot with water and add a pinch of salt. Place the prepared root vegetables and garlic cloves in the pot and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and cook the vegetables for 20-25 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 5

Drain the vegetables and garlic in a colander and return them to the pot. Allow any excess moisture to evaporate by letting them sit in the hot pot for about 1 minute.

Step 6

Add the unsalted butter to the pot. Mash the vegetables and garlic together using a potato masher or immersion blender until mostly smooth, leaving a few chunks for texture if desired.

Step 7

Slowly stir in the heavy cream, adding it a little at a time, until the mash reaches your preferred consistency.

Step 8

Season the root mash with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.

Step 9

Transfer the mash to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm alongside your favorite protein or as a standalone side dish. Enjoy!
