Side Dish Recipe ‹ Baked Mashed Parsnips

This was served at a dinner I went to recently. I am not familiar with cooking parsnips, but this dish was delicious. I hope to try it soon.

Ingredients

• 3 pounds parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• ¼ pound butter, melted
• ¼ cup sherry
• ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• ¼ cup bread crumbs, or to taste
• 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces, or more to taste

Cooking Directions

1. Place parsnips into a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3. Beat parsnips, melted butter, sherry, heavy whipping cream, salt, and white sugar together in a bowl until smooth. Spoon into a baking dish and top with bread crumbs; dot with butter pieces.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 25 to 30 minutes.
