Ingredients

5 cups whole milk
10 parsnips, peeled and cubed
1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
0.25 cup butter
1 teaspoon dried thyme
0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper, or more to taste

Instructions

Prepare all ingredients for the mashed parsnips recipe.
In a large pot, pour milk and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Add parsnips and salt. Cover and cook until the parsnips are tender, approximately 25 to 30 minutes.
Drain the cooked parsnips, making sure to reserve the warm milk in a separate container.
In the same pot, mash the parsnips with 1 cup of the reserved warm milk, butter, thyme, and pepper using a hand mixer or blender. Add more warm milk until you reach your preferred consistency. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper.
