Freezing
Mashed parsnips freeze exceptionally well, making them a convenient make-ahead option. Allow the mashed parsnips to cool completely before portioning them into airtight containers or freezer bags. For best quality upon thawing, gently reheat on the stovetop or in the oven, adding a splash of milk or cream if needed to restore desired consistency. Avoid refreezing once thawed.
