Equipment

  • Potato masher

Ingredients

  • 4 Russets potatoes, large
  • 3 parsnips, medium
  • 3 turnips small
  • 1 celery root
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 large onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup corn, water drained
  • 4 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 cup vegan mayo
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk, canned, full fat
  • 1 Tbs fresh thyme

Instructions

  • Peel all potatoes, parsnips, turnips, and celery root. Cut into 1-inch cubes. Place vegetables in the large pot, and add salt and water, just enough to cover them. Bring water to boil.
  • Reduce heat and cook, covered until the vegetables are tender (approximately 15-20 minutes).
  • When vegetables are done, discharge the water and transfer into a large bowl.
  • Next, prepare the corn mixture. In a large pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook for 5 minutes, covered. Stir once. Uncover and add corn, minced garlic, mayo, and black pepper. Reduce the heat, and cook for 2 more minutes. Add this vegetable mixture into a small bowl and set aside.
  • Then pour the coconut milk over the root vegetables.
  • Next, mash them with a potato masher a few minutes. Use a strong wooden spoon to beat further with coconut milk until it is well combined.
  • Add corn mixture and fresh thyme. Gently mix and serve immediately! Enjoy!
