Potatoes - The Lucky Ones!

Why is it that only potatoes are mashed up and made into a side dish? The answer to this is that they don't have to be.

Here is a great recipe for Mashed Roots, a tasty alternative to Mashed Potatoes.

4 cups cubed peeled baking potatoes

2 cups sliced peeled parsnip

2 cups cubed peeled turnip

1 large onion finely chopped

1/2 cup celery finely chopped

2 bay leaves

5 tablespoons butter

1 cup evaporated milk

Salt and Pepper

Place first 6 ingredients in a large saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook 20 minutes or until vegetables are very tender. Drain well and discard bay leaves. Return veggies to pan; add butter, milk, and salt and pepper. Beat at medium/high speed until smooth and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

Enjoy!
