To get the best mash from parsnips, look for those that are medium-size, firm and pale-skinned. Older, larger parsnips can be stringy, spongy and harder to break down.
Make the mash the day before. Cover and chill overnight, then either reheat on the hob with an extra splash of cream or microwave until piping hot.
