SWEET POTATO AND PARSNIP MASH

Steps:

• Peel the sweet potatoes and parsnips, and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices.
• Combine the sweet potato and parsnip slices, cream, butter, salt and half of the horseradish in a 3- or 4-quart saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened. This will take about 40 to 50 minutes.

• 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.

• Discard the thyme sprigs and transfer the vegetables and any liquid to a food processor. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and process until very smooth. Add the vinegar and process to combine; season with salt and pepper. Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish. Sprinkle with more nutmeg.
