Ingredients

  • 1 pound parsnips, peeled and sliced 1/2 inch thick (about 3 cups)
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced carrot
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons margarine or butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
  • 2 slightly beaten eggs

Instructions

  1. Cook parsnips, carrot, and onion, covered, in a small amount of boiling water for 15 to 18 minutes or till very tender. Drain. Add margarine, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  2. Mash with a potato masher or beat with an electric mixer on low speed. Add crumbs and eggs; mash or beat till smooth. Transfer to a lightly greased 1-quart casserole. Bake, uncovered, in a 375° oven for 35 to 40 minutes or till a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  3. Turnip Puff: Prepare as above, except substitute turnips, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes, for the parsnips. Cook turnips, carrots, and onion in boiling water for 10 to 12 minutes.
