Ingredients

• 3 & 1/2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1-inch pieces
• 1 & 1/2 lbs parsnips, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
• 8 tbsp low-FODMAP vegan spread (such as Earth Balance)
  • Can also use butter, if desired
• 4 large fresh bay leaves
• 3/4 cup canned coconut cream, drained of any liquid
  • This is NOT the same as ‘cream of coconut’
  • Check out my low-FODMAP Grocery shopping blog for tips on purchasing this ingredient if you haven’t before
• 8 oz. lactose-free sour cream
• 1/4 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
• 1 tbsp scallion tips
• 5 large egg yolks
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 4 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil (for tips on shopping for infused oils, see my low-FODMAP Pantry and Recipe Swap blog)
• 20 fresh sage leaves
• Flaky sea salt or kosher salt, for sprinkling
• 2 tsp salt for boiling potatoes

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 425 F and place rack in center of oven
• In a large pot, cover the potatoes and parsnips with cold water and bring to a boil over high heat
• Once boiling, add the 2 tsp salt to the water and reduce heat to medium
• Cook the potatoes and parsnips until tender when pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes, then drain
• In the same pot, melt the vegan spread and garlic infused oil with the bay leaves over medium-high heat until the liquid is fragrant and golden, about 5-8 minutes
• Discard the bay leaves
• Add the potatoes, parsnips, coconut cream, lactose-free sour cream and nutmeg to the pot
• Using a potato masher, mash until very smooth
• Stir in the egg yolks, 1 at a time, mixing well between additions
• Season the mashed vegetables generously with salt and pepper and stir in the scallion tips
• Spoon the mashed vegetables into a large 3-qt. oven safe baking dish
• Using the back of a spoon, create swirls or peaks on top for decoration
• Transfer to the oven and bake, rotating the dish halfway through, until the parsnip potato mash is heated through and golden in spots, about 30 minutes
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat the 1/4 cup olive oil over medium-high
• Working in 2 or 3 batches, fry the sage leaves until crisp, 20 to 30 seconds per batch
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sage leaves to a paper towel–lined plate for serving; reserve the sage oil for drizzling
• Sprinkle the oil with flaky sea salt
• Just before serving, drizzle the baked parsnip-potato mash with the sage oil and top with the fried sage leaves
