Ingredients

• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 3 medium parsnips
• 3 medium carrots
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop the russet potatoes, parsnips, and carrots into evenly sized chunks to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Peel and lightly smash the garlic cloves to release their flavor.

Step 3

Place the potatoes, parsnips, carrots, and garlic into a large pot. Add enough cold water to cover the vegetables by about 1 inch.

Step 4

Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water and bring the pot to a boil over high heat.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until all the vegetables are fork-tender.

Step 6

Drain the vegetables in a colander and let them sit for 2-3 minutes to release excess steam. This will help prevent the mash from becoming watery.

Step 7

Return the vegetables to the pot. Add the heavy cream, butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Using a potato masher or an electric hand mixer on low speed, mash the vegetables until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning to taste, if necessary.

Step 9

Transfer the mash to a serving bowl and optionally garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
