ingredients
- 3 cups potatoes, peeled and cut
- 2 cups parsnips, peeled and cut
- 1 cup carrot, peeled and cut
- 2 2 cups vegetable broth or 2 cups turkey broth
- 2 -4 tablespoons butter
- 1⁄8 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- salt and pepper
directions
- Wash and peel vegetables and cut them into quarters and put in a large pot.
- Add broth plus enough water to just about cover the veggies.
- Cook until very tender- as you would for mashed potatoes.
- Drain well and mash with butter and seasonings. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot.
- Note: If you prefer one veggie over another adjust the amount to include more of what you like and less of what you do not. If you do not like one of the veggies do not use it at all and add more of what you do like. This is a very adaptable recipe and will come out well no matter which types of root veggies you use- even if you use different ones all together such as turnips or rutabagas- just use only what you like and none of those you don't.

Oh Mama! What an awesome dish! I made this exactly as written and doubled the recipe and took it to a Scandinavian themed dinner at our congregation. It got rave reviews from one and all. I'll be making this quite frequently I imagine. Even DH ("What? another vegetable? pretty soon we'll just be eating grass!") cleaned his plate and went back for seconds. Yum, yum!

Mmm Mmm Good! I halved the recipe and didn't have nutmeg in the house but other than that I followed the recipe exactly. I used beef broth and loved the flavor it gave the veggies. I think the parsnips tasted GREAT with the beef broth. I never would have thought of boiling them in broth I always use water. Thank you so much for the great recipe!

I love this, though I usually just boil in water rather than broth, skip the nutmeg and might add a dash of milk to the finished product (like I would mashed potatoes). I like to add garlic as well. I think they're outstanding and my husband will eat a small portion (which is good, for veggies; he hates them) so this is 5 stars in my book!
