Ingredients

  1. 2 pounds parsnips, cut into 2-inch pieces
  2. 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
  3. 2 pounds rutabaga, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
  4. 4 cloves garlic, smashed
  5. 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
  6. 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  7. Kosher salt and black pepper
  8. 8 sprigs thyme

Instructions

  1. Fill a large pot with cool water and add the parsnips, sweet potatoes, rutabaga and garlic. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables are very tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and return the vegetables to pot along with 4 tablespoons of the butter, the heavy cream, and salt and pepper to taste. Mash with a potato masher or a fork until combined. Keep warm.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and the thyme sprigs. Cook until the butter is toasted and brown specks start to appear, about 3 minutes.
  3. To serve, spoon the mashed vegetables into a serving dish, top with thyme sprigs and drizzle the brown butter over the top.

Yum! Amazing! Perfect side dish

This recipe is delicious!! I followed the recipe exactly, and since we are empty-nesters, there was quite a bit leftover. It was even better the following day.
