I've tried Davita's site, looking for renal friendly recipes for parsnips, but a search comes up with nothing.  I see by the USDA's list that parsnips are high in K like potatoes (which I expected to be the case), so I'm wondering if you can peel and dialyze parsnips like you can potatoes, and then make a parsnip mash.  Anyone tried this?  Anyone have any renally friendly recipes for parsnips.

I love parsnips and haven't had then since leaving England 7 years ago.  I'd like to make some for Christmas dinner.

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure parsnips will dialyze/leech like potatoes. Just peel them, cut them up, and soak them like you'd do potatoes, then boil. Should make a fine mash.

I don't have any recipes for parsnips - I've only ever used them in making chicken stock.

Yeah, logic tells me to treat them like potatoes...

I'd leach them by soaking but I'd use quite warm water for the soak, then boil.

I had never bothered eating potatoes because it just seemed to be sooo much bother to dialyze them.  I merely eat rice, instead.  But I thought I might give it a go so that my husband could enjoy potatoes, so I popped over to DaVita's website to get the lowdown on the technique.  I was surprised to read that using warm water is more effective at leaching out K than cold water.  The things you learn!  Just goes to show that the devil's in the details.
