1/2inch pieces
3 Parsnips; peeled and cut
into 1/2inch pieces
2 Russet (baking) potatoes
(about 1 pound)
One fourth cup Heavy cream
1 teaspoon Chopped fresh thyme
One half Stick unsalted butter; (1/4
cup)
2 tablespoon Finely grated peeled fresh
horseradish or, (2 to 3)
Drained bottled horseradish

In a large saucepan of boiling salted water cook the turnips and the
parsnips for 10 minutes, add the potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2inch
pieces, and boil the vegetables for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are
tender. While the vegetables are cooking, in a small saucepan heat the
cream with the thyme, butter, and the horseradish to taste over low heat
until the mixture is hot. Keep warm. Drain the vegetables, in the pan cook
them over high heat, shaking the pan, for 30 seconds, or until any excess
liquid is evaporated, and remove the pan from the heat. Add the cream
mixture to the potato mixture, straining it through a fine sieve and
pressing hard on the solids if desired. Mash the vegetables with a potato
masher and stir in the salt and pepper to taste.
