Horseradish Parsnip And Potato Rosti Food

POTATO, PARSNIP & HORSERADISH BAKE

Steps:

• Put the milk, cream, garlic, a sprig of thyme, the nutmeg and horseradish into a pan and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat, then leave to infuse for at least 10 mins.
• Peel the potatoes and cut into slices the thickness of a £1 coin. Peel the parsnips, cut into quarters lengthways and discard the cores, then slice thinly lengthways. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
• Use 1 tbsp butter to grease a large baking dish, then layer up the potatoes and parsnips, adding a few thyme leaves and some seasoning with each layer. Remove the thyme sprig and garlic from the cream, then pour it all over the dish. Scatter over more thyme leaves, the breadcrumbs and the rest of the butter in little knobs. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hr, then uncover and finish for 25-30 mins more until the potatoes are soft, and the top is golden and bubbling.

POTATO, PARSNIP & HORSERADISH BAKED ROSTI

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Cut the potatoes and parsnips into matchsticks or grate them coarsely and place in a large bowl. Stir in the onion, creamed horseradish, chives and yogurt and mix until well combined. Season to taste.
• Arrange the vegetable mixture in a 20cm shallow metal tin, cover with foil and bake for 1 hr. Remove the foil, dot the top with the butter and bake, uncovered, for a further 15 mins until the vegetables are tender and the top is crispy and golden. Serve hot.

MASHED POTATOES WITH PARSNIP AND HORSERADISH

Steps:

• Pour water to a depth of 1 inch into a large pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Put the potatoes and parsnips into a steamer basket and set the basket over boiling water. (The water should not touch the bottom of the steamer basket). Cover and steam until the vegetables are very tender when pierced with a small knife, about 15 minutes. Transfer the potatoes and parsnips to a bowl.
• Empty the pot and wipe dry. Return the vegetables to the still hot pot. Add the butter, horseradish, salt and pepper. Using a potato masher, mash until smooth. Add the 1/3 cup half and half and mash to blend, adding more half and half, 1 Tb at a time, if needed to reach the desired consistency. Transfer the vegetables to a serving bowl and serve immediately.
• Make Ahead: This dish can be prepared up to 2 hours in advance. Cover loosely and let stand at room temperature. Just before serving, reheat gently over low heat, stirring often.
