My husband is not usually a fan of parsnips, but he rated this a 4/5! I switched that ratio so there were more carrots than parsnips, used white pepper, and added a little maple syrup, as suggested by others, but not so much to make the dish sweet. This was a nice change over mashed potatoes!

Really good stuff, easy to make. My wife and I agreed that this is in our top two parsnip recipes.

I changed nothing in this recipe & made it exactly as suggested. This is a REALLY tasty alternative to having mashed potatos. Everyone in the family LOVED it. Will definately make again. Thanks Linda for this recipe!

This was such a tasty side dish!!! Wow, I never expected to so thoroughly enjoy whipped carrots and parsnips!!! It took longer to peel the veggies than to cook them and whip them, but it was totally worth it! The only changes I made was I added a bit of paprika and nutmeg, everything else was as is and completely awesome!!!!

I have made parsnip puree before so I thought I'd try this recipe. Not very good.

I make something similar to this called a "parsnip puff". The extra steps I take make it so much tastier! After parboiling the carrots and parsnips together, mash them with a blender, stir in a 1/2 cup diced onions, 2 eggs, and salt and pepper to taste. Pour mixture into a casserole dish, sprinkle nutmeg on the top and bake until a knife stuck in center comes out clean approximately 25-30 mins. It tastes awesome!

I find these pairings pleasant. Potato and parsnip. Potato and carrot. Swede and carrot. Jim

You can use less butter. I also added touch of curry to give it zip.

Absolutely delicious. I used olive oil and Smart Balance because it was what I had on hand, and it turned out so good. I also didn't blend completely to leave a bit of texture.

A wonderful substitute or even addition to sweet potatoes or mashed potatoes. Very easy and very tasty! I'll definitely be making this for our next Thanksgiving dinner. Thanks for this great recipe!
