For an even richer flavor, try browning the butter before adding it to the parsnips. A pinch of nutmeg adds a warm, aromatic note to the mash. If you prefer a smoother consistency, pass the mashed parsnips through a food mill or fine-mesh sieve. Garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme for an elegant presentation.
