Creamy Celeriac Parsnip Bake
Try this as a tasty alternative to a mashed potato accompaniment to winter meals or as a dish in itself. The combination of celeriac and parsnip creates a nutty and slightly sweet taste whilst the addition of cream, cheese and butter ensures that it is mild and delicious.
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients
1 large celeriac

Boil the kettle.
Add chunks of parsnip and celeriac to a large saucepan and cover with boiling water.

Turn down the heat and simmer for approx 15 minutes or until the chunks are soft (test softness with a knife).

Mash together with a potato masher or a fork.

Season liberally with freshly ground salt and black pepper.
Turn the mixture out into an oven proof dish and scrape the top with a fork to create ridges.
