Instructions
  1. Dice potatoes to 2″ pieces.
  2. Peel parsnips, and dice to 1″ pieces. (note: the parsnips are more dense than the potatoes, which is why it’s important to keep the pieces half the size of the potatoes)
  3. Place diced potatoes, parsnips, and smashed garlic in large pot; cover with water by 1″; boil until all contents are able to be pierced easily by a fork.
  4. Drain ingredients, and mash with hand mixer. Mix in Greek yogurt.
  5. Place potato mixture into crockpot insert . Add chopped ham.
  6. Pour milk over mixture, making sure to use enough milk to cover by an inch.
  7. Cook on low for 3 hours, or high for 1.5 hours. Stir ingredients and adjust moisture accordingly. Cook for additional 2 hours on low.
  8. Serve topped with fresh herbs, cracked black pepper, and crusty bread.
