1 pound yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
2 cups parsnips, peeled, cut into 1-inch chunks
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 Tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
4 Tbsp reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, such as Parmigiano Reggiano
2 Tbsp chives, chopped
1/2 tsp table salt
In a large saucepan, place potatoes, parsnips and thyme sprigs; add enough water to cover ingredients and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes; drain and discard thyme sprigs.
Return potatoes and parsnips to saucepan; add broth and oil. Mash to chunky consistency; stir in chopped thyme, cheese, chives and salt. Yields about 1/2 cup per serving.
