MASHED PARSNIPS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel and cut the potatoes and parsnips into even sized pieces. Put them into a large pot, cover them with cold water, and add a large pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and simmer until the vegetables are fork tender, about 20 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small pot gently heat the cream and butter over low heat. When the vegetables are done drain them well. Put the vegetables back into the pot over medium heat. Gently stir them to remove any excess moisture; be careful not to burn them. While the potatoes and parsnips are still warm, press them through a potato ricer or food mill into a bowl. Add the warm cream a little at a time and beat with a wooden spoon until the potatoes are fluffy. Season with salt and pepper and gently stir in the chives. Serve immediately.

ROAST POTATOES, PARSNIPS & CARROTS

Steps:

• If you're cooking your veg separately, rather than with my perfect roast chicken, preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6.
• Peel the vegetables, halving any larger ones lengthways. Break the garlic bulb into cloves, leaving them unpeeled, and bash them slightly with the palm of your hand. Pick the rosemary leaves.
• Put the potatoes and carrots into a large pan - you may need to use two - of boiling salted water on a high heat and bring back to the boil. Allow to boil for 5 minutes, then add the parsnips and cook for another 4 minutes.
• Drain in a colander and allow to steam dry. Take out the carrots and parsnips and put to one side.
• Fluff up the potatoes in the colander by shaking it around a little - it's important to 'chuff them up' like this if you want them to have all those lovely crispy bits when they're cooked.
• Put a large roasting tray over a medium heat and either add a few generous lugs of olive oil or carefully spoon a little of the fat from the meat you're cooking, and add the garlic and rosemary.
• Tip the vegetables into the tray, season with a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper and turn the veg over to coat them in the flavours. Spread them out evenly into one layer - this is important, as you want them to roast, not steam as they will if you have them all on top of each other.
• Roast for 1 hour, or until golden and crisp, then serve immediately with your roast and some delicious gravy.

JAMIE OLIVER'S MASHED ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• *NOTE: swedes are known in US as rutabagas. I've also used yams/sweet potatoes, turnips and fingerlings in this recipe. ~fyi~.
• Feel free to use any single vegetable or a mixture of your favorites. Cookgirl says that a mixture of root vegetables is the way to go!
• Peel the root vegetables then chop up into golf-ball sized pieces, place in salted boiling water and cook until very tender.
• Drain in a colander.
• Place the vegetables back in the pan and mash with a potato masher.
• You can mash them as smooth or as chunky as you like. Season with salt and pepper, then enrich the flavor with extra virgin oil or butter, or both, to taste. (I prefer using both olive oil and butter.).
• Jamie continues to say: once cooked, the mashed vegetables can be kept warm in a bowl covered with kitchen foil over simmering water. This is handy when cooking for a dinner party -- (especially when timing is of utmost importance.).

• Put the potatoes and carrots into a large pan - you may need to use two - of salted, boiling water on a high heat and bring back to the boil.
• Allow to boil for 5 minutes, then add the parsnips and cook for another 4 minutes.
• Drain in a colander and allow to steam dry. Take out the carrots and parsnips and put to one side.
• Fluff up the potatoes in the colander by shaking it around a little - it's important to 'chuff them up' like this if you want them to have all those lovely crispy bits when they're cooked.
• Add the olive oil, garlic, and rosemary leaves.
• Put the vegetables into the tray with a good pinch of salt and pepper and stir them around to coat them in the flavours.

• Cook for approximately 40 minutes or until the vegetables become browned and crispy.

SMASHED ROSEMARY POTATOES

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in lots of salted water until almost cooked all the way through. Drain and leave to cool a bit. Strip the rosemary leaves and mix with the oil, garlic and seasoning in a roasting tray.
• Tip in the potatoes, crush them a little with a masher or a fork and toss with the oil mixture. Roast for 35 mins in the oven underneath the chicken until they are crunchy and you can smell the rosemary and the garlic just on the edge of burning.

ROASTED POTATOES, PARSNIPS AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Peel the veggies and halve any larger ones lengthways. I like to quarter my potatoes (sometimes more if they are large).
• Break the garlic bulb into cloves, smash them slightly and take peels off. (Jamie leaves his unpeeled, but I prefer the garlic peeled.).
• Pick the rosemary leaves off the stalks.
• Put the potatoes and carrots into a large pan of salted boiling water on high heat and bring back to a boil. Boil for about 5 minutes, then add the parsnips and cook for another 4 minutes.
• Drain the veggies in a colander and allow to steam dry.
• Take the carrots and parsnips out and set aside.
• "Fluff" the potatoes in the colander by shaking it around a little. It's important to do this if you want the yummy crispy bits and edges.
• Put a large roasting pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the garlic and rosemary leaves. Then put all the veggies into the pan with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Stir them around to get them well coated.
• Spread the veggies evenly out into one layer. This is important, so they will roast, not steam.
• Put them into the preheated oven and cook for about 45 minutes to an hour. This will depend on your oven. I like to stir them up at least once while cooking. Watch so they don't burn.
