Mashed Potatoes and Parsnips

1. 1

   Put the potatoes and parsnips in a large pot with water, making sure that the water completely covers them.

2. 2

   Bring to a boil, lower the heat to medium, then cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally with a spoon.

3. 3

   Test the tenderness of the potatoes with a fork; they should pierce easily and be tender, yet firm.

4. 4

   Drain any remaining liquid and mash the potatoes with a potato masher until there are no visible lumps.

5. 5

   Add the milk and butter and continue to mash until the potatoes are smooth and creamy.

6. 6

   Stir in the parsley, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt, and beat thoroughly with a wooden spoon until all the seasonings are completely mixed in.

7. 7

   Cover and serve warm.
