Parsnip Mashed Potatoes

I don't think any holiday table is complete without mashed potatoes. I love the creamy comfort and nostalgia they bring. There wasn't a holiday dinner as a kid without them so I am keeping tradition alive but adding a slight twist with Parsnip. Its earthy and delicious and adds a lttle something to the already perfect potatoes. I like to peel my potatoes but please don't toss the skins!I have a new no waste recipe heading your way very soon!
