Mashed Potatoes and Parsnips

One day, I came across roasted vegetables with parsnips included. I figured, I had nothing to lose with all those vegetables that I knew would be good. That is when I discovered that parsnips have a life of their own. Now when I see parsnips in a recipe I want to make it immediately.
