Ingredients
Preparation
-
Prepare the vegetables: Peel the Jerusalem artichokes and, if using potatoes, peel them as well. Cut them into similar sized pieces for even cooking.
-
Cooking: Cook the Jerusalem artichokes and potatoes in a large pot of boiling salted water for about 20 minutes, or until they are very tender (you can test with a knife blade).
-
Drain and mash: Drain the vegetables and transfer them to a large bowl.
-
Mash them using a potato masher or a fork.
-
Add the ingredients: Incorporate the butter and cream to obtain a smooth texture. Then add the grated parmesan, and mix well so that it melts into the puree. Season with salt, pepper and, if desired, a pinch of nutmeg for a subtle flavor.
-
Serve immediately, possibly decorating with a few shavings of parmesan or fresh herbs such as parsley.
