This dish has amazing full flavor and I would absolutely make this for a dinner party instead of regular mashed potatoes. I didn't even peel the potatoes. You don't need the heavy cream either, I used 1% milk and some sour cream, and this turned out delicious on the first try.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes (about 4), peeled and cut into chunks 3/4 pound turnips (2 small), peeled and cut into chunks 1/2 pound parsnips (about 4), peeled and cut into chunks Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 1/2 stick unsalted butter 1 pound leeks, trimmed, sliced 1/4 inch thick, and rinsed well (2 cups) 3/4 cup whole milk 1/4 cup heavy cream

Directions

Place potatoes, turnips, and parsnips in a large pot; cover with 2 inches cold water. Season water generously with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, and vigorously simmer until root vegetables are very tender and breaking apart, about 30 minutes. Drain.

Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Add leeks, and cook until golden, about 15 minutes. Add root vegetables, and stir to dry out, about 2 minutes. Add milk and cream, and stir to break up vegetables. Heat until hot; season with salt and pepper.
