Servings:
6

Ingredients

  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces

  • 2 turnips, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces

  • 1 parsnip, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces

  • 6 cloves garlic, peeled

  • Half-and-half

  • 1 large egg

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • Pinch of freshly ground nutmeg

  • Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Place potatoes, turnips, parsnip, and garlic in a medium saucepan; add enough half-and-half to cover. Place over medium high heat and cook until vegetables are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain, reserving cooking liquid.

  2. Return vegetables to saucepan and add egg, butter, and 1/4 cup cooking liquid. Using a potato masher, mash until smooth, adding more cooking liquid as necessary. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper and serve immediately.
