Notes:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The best way to reheat is in the micowave or on the stove top in a small skillet over low heat. To freeze, place in freezer bags.
Helpful tips:
Cut all the vegetables the same size to ensure even cooking.
For a smooth texture, use an immersion blender, food processor potato ricer or hand blender. For a root vegetable mash that is on the chunkier side, use a potato masher.
Other tasty vegetable ideas to throw in are butternut squash, celery root, russet potatoes and sweet potatoes.
As this is made dairy free, you can add dairy if you like. Sour cream, regular milk, or heavy cream will work along with regular butter. Parmesan cheese makes a tasty garnish as well.
Other optional and yummy garnishes are green onions, crispy bacon bits or chopped italian parsley or fresh basil.
