Recipe: Mashed Vegetables

Mashed Vegetables

4 servings

1 pound all-purpose potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1/2 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1/2 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1/2 pound turnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1/2 cup chicken broth, canned
2 tablespoons skim milk
2 tablespoons light sour cream
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions

Place all-purpose potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots and turnips in a large saucepan. Add the chicken broth and cold water to cover by 1 inch. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the vegetables are fork tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain in a colander and return to the cooking pot.

Mash the vegetables (like you would with mashed potatoes) with the milk, and stir in sour cream, Parmesan cheese, pepper, and salt.

Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with scallions.
