Parsnips look like white carrots but are sweeter and starchier, so they’re made to be mashed. Brown butter adds nutty flavour, taking this simple side to next level. A potato masher isn’t your only option. You can use a hand mixer, which is the speediest way to mash, or a food mill if you have one. If you’re in a pinch with only a fork on hand, that works too! It may take a little longer, but it gets the job done.
