For a richer flavor, brown the butter before adding it to the vegetables. Feel free to substitute other root vegetables, such as sweet potatoes or celeriac, based on your preference. A touch of maple syrup can add a lovely hint of sweetness. This mash can be made ahead of time and reheated gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
