We LOVED these - the parsnips added a lightness and sweetness to the potatoes the were terrific. We'll make these again and again. As for timing, based on other reviews, I started only the parsnips out in the pot with the water. Once it was boiling, I added the potatoes and started checking at 10 minutes. This resulted in them being done at the same time, just under 15 minutes.
I added crushed and chopped garlic to the boil, and some fresh chopped dill. Delicious dish thanks for sharing

Will be making this for Thanksgiving as usual -- so much better than plain mashed potatoes BUT the parsnips take much longer than the potatoes to cook so I'll puree and freeze them ahead and warm and fold them into the riced potatoes on the day of.
