HONEY-MUSTARD PARSNIP & POTATO BAKE

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Tip in the potatoes and parsnips, bring back to the boil and simmer for 5 mins. Gently drain so they don't rough up too much, then tip into a baking dish.
• Melt the butter in a big saucepan, then stir in the flour and cook for 2 mins. Gradually stir in the milk to a smooth, lump-free sauce. Cook gently, stirring constantly, until the sauce is nicely thickened - about 5 mins. Stir in the mustard, honey, vinegar and some seasoning. Pour evenly over the potatoes. Mix the crumbs and cheese together, then scatter over the top and set aside until ready to bake. You can cover the dish and chill for up to 24 hrs before finishing.
• Cook the bake at 200C/180C fan/ gas 6 for 30-40 mins until the top is crisp and golden and the sauce hot through.

PARSNIP POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Layer the potatoes, onions, parsnips and 3/4 cup cheese in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish; set aside. In a small saucepan, combine the flour, salt, pepper; gradually whisk in cream. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat; pour over vegetables. Sprinkle with remaining cheese., Cover and bake at 375° for 30 minutes. Uncover; bake 20-25 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender and top is golden brown.

PARSNIP POTATO KUGEL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 F and grease a medium-large casserole dish, either oval or rectangular shaped (7"x11" size or 8"x12").
• Sprinkle a tiny bit of the matzo meal over the bottom of the casserole dish.
• Place potatoes and parsnips into a deep saucepot and cover with cold water; bring to a boil and then cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes roughly; drain well.
• While the potatoes and parsnips are boiling, heat some butter in a large skillet and saute the onions until soft and tender and golden; the original recipe called for a whole stick which I think is a bit much, but you need enough to soften the onions and give them a nice flavor.
• Mash together the drained potatoes and the parsnips, then add the sauteed onions, along with any remaining butter from the pan.
• Add the beaten eggs, salt, pepper, nutmeg to taste, and 1/4 cup of the matzo meal.
• Pour into the prepared pan and then sprinkle just a fine layer of matzo meal over the top.
• Dot with a little more butter.
• Bake, uncovered, for about 25-30 or until the surface is golden brown.
• Tip: You can halve the recipe, in which case use 1 whole egg plus 1 egg white; the timing will be about the same.
