Creamy mashed potatoes are always a holiday hit. But Chef Nina takes things up a notch with her Roasted Sweet Potato Parsnip Mash. This might come close to being the perfect vegan side dish! This meal beautifully combines the delicious flavors of sweet potatoes, sour cream and parsnips. Topped with a dash of cinnamon, this will add the perfect amount of sweetness to a mostly savory holiday plate.

INGREDIENTS:

3 pounds sweet potatoes 

½ pound parsnips, cut in half

6. Place mixture in a blender vessel and blend until creamy.
