Parsnip And Potato Sauce Recipes

POTATO AND PARSNIP GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Bring potato and parsnip slices to a boil in a large Dutch oven filled with water. Reduce heat, and simmer 6 minutes (slices should be slightly undercooked at the center). Reserve 1/2 cup cooking liquid; drain. Arrange potato and parsnip slices in a single layer on a baking sheet; cool.
• Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high; stir in flour. Stir in reserved 1/2 cup cooking liquid, half-and-half, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Cook 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in Gruyère cheese; cook 1 minute. Remove pan from heat. Add potato and parsnip slices, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and parsley; toss gently to combine. Spoon potato mixture into a 2-quart baking dish coated with cooking spray; sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes or until golden brown.

PARSNIP AND POTATO SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine the potatoes, parsnips and milk. Add enough water to barely cover the vegetables. Season with salt, cover and heat to simmering over medium heat. Cook until the vegetables are very soft, about 15 minutes.
• Transfer vegetables and cooking liquid to a food processor or blender and process until smooth, adding more water or milk if necessary to make mixture the consistency of a vanilla sauce. (To mash vegetables by hand, remove them with a slotted spoon to a bowl and crush to a purée using a potato masher and then stir in cooking liquid.) Adjust seasoning and whisk in the butter.

PARSNIP AND POTATO HASH

Steps:

• Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with 3 turns of the pan of extra-virgin olive oil, about 3 tablespoons. Add the potatoes, parsnips, thyme and season with salt and pepper, stir frequently and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the potatoes and parsnips are nice and tender and lightly browned. Add the minced onion and continue to cook until they are tender and the potatoes are nice and brown.
• Once the hash is cooked, add the chopped parsley and lemon zest. Stir to combine and transfer hash to a serving platter. Serve it up.

MASHED PARSNIPS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel and cut the potatoes and parsnips into even sized pieces. Put them into a large pot, cover them with cold water, and add a large pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and simmer until the vegetables are fork tender, about 20 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small pot gently heat the cream and butter over low heat. When the vegetables are done drain them well. Put the vegetables back into the pot over medium heat. Gently stir them to remove any excess moisture; be careful not to burn them. While the potatoes and parsnips are still warm, press them through a potato ricer or food mill into a bowl. Add the warm cream a little at a time and beat with a wooden spoon until the potatoes are fluffy. Season with salt and pepper and gently stir in the chives. Serve immediately.

HONEY-MUSTARD PARSNIP & POTATO BAKE

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Tip in the potatoes and parsnips, bring back to the boil and simmer for 5 mins. Gently drain so they don't rough up too much, then tip into a baking dish.
• Melt the butter in a big saucepan, then stir in the flour and cook for 2 mins. Gradually stir in the milk to a smooth, lump-free sauce. Cook gently, stirring constantly, until the sauce is nicely thickened - about 5 mins. Stir in the mustard, honey, vinegar and some seasoning. Pour evenly over the potatoes. Mix the crumbs and cheese together, then scatter over the top and set aside until ready to bake. You can cover the dish and chill for up to 24 hrs before finishing.
• Cook the bake at 200C/180C fan/ gas 6 for 30-40 mins until the top is crisp and golden and the sauce hot through.

PARSNIP-AND-POTATO PUREE

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the parsnips and potatoes until tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water. Return the vegetables to the pot. Add the milk, sour cream and 4 tablespoons butter.
• Using a food processor and working in batches, puree the parsnip mixture, adding the reserved cooking water to thin the consistency as desired; season with salt. Serve with the remaining tablespoon butter melted on top.

MASHED PARSNIPS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add leeks, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add parsnips, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes more. Add potatoes and 3 cups cold water; bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Cook until parsnips and potatoes are very tender and begin to fall apart, about 20 minutes.
• Drain in a colander. Press hot parsnips and potatoes through a ricer back into saucepan over low heat. (Alternatively, mash by hand.) Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the milk, and combine well. Season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
