Scandinavian-Style Potato and Parsnip Mash
Ingredients
- 350 g of potatoes
- 200 g of parsnips
- 40 g of vegan margarine or olive oil
- 60-80 ml of plant-based milk (almond, soy, oat)
- Salt and white pepper to taste
- A pinch of nutmeg (optional)
- Fresh chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and parsnips, then cut them into evenly sized pieces to ensure uniform cooking.
- Place the cut vegetables in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the vegetables. Then, put them back in the same pot (after having emptied the water and quickly wiped it dry) and turn the heat to low.
- Mash the vegetables with a potato masher until smooth.
- Incorporate the margarine or oil, then gradually add the plant-based milk while mixing, until the desired consistency is achieved.
- Season with salt, white pepper, and nutmeg. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Serve the mash hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
