Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 pound gold potatoes (or other medium starch content potatoes), peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch thick rounds
  • 1 pound parsnips , peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch thick rounds
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter , softened at room temperature
  • 1-2 tablespoons prepared horseradish (according to heat and flavor preference)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream , plus more as needed

Instructions
 

  • Place the sliced potatoes and parsnips in a steamer (put the parsnips in first where
    they'll be closer to the hot steam with the potatoes on top since the parsnips
    require a little longer cooking time). Place the steamer on top of a pot of
    boiling water and cover with the lid. Steam for about 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Drain the pot and place the veggies in it along with the
    butter, salt, pepper and horseradish. Mash with a potato masher then add the cream and continue mashing until smooth, adding more cream until desired consistency is reached. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
    Transfer to a warmed serving bowl and serve immediately.
