Parsnip Potato Gratin Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Transfer to a greased 3-qt. baking dish. Cover and bake until the vegetables are tender, 40-45 minutes. Uncover and bake until cream has thickened and is beginning to turn golden brown, 10-15 minutes longer. Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375.
• Put 2 or 3 cups of cream in a pot and heat until it's hot.
• Peel and slice 1 pound each of parsnips and potatoes, and grate 1 to 1 .5 cups Gruyere
• Layer the parsnips, potatoes and cheese in an ovenproof dish, sprinkling every other layer with salt, pepper and thyme.
• Pour in enough hot cream to come about 3/4 of the way up the vegetable layers.
• Cook in the oven, undisturbed, until the vegetables are tender and easily pierced with a fork, 45 to 50 minutes. The top should be nicely brown.
• Let stand for a few minutes, then serve.

Steps:

• Peel and cut the potatoes and parsnips into even sized pieces. Put them into a large pot, cover them with cold water, and add a large pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and simmer until the vegetables are fork tender, about 20 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small pot gently heat the cream and butter over low heat. When the vegetables are done drain them well. Put the vegetables back into the pot over medium heat. Gently stir them to remove any excess moisture; be careful not to burn them. While the potatoes and parsnips are still warm, press them through a potato ricer or food mill into a bowl. Add the warm cream a little at a time and beat with a wooden spoon until the potatoes are fluffy. Season with salt and pepper and gently stir in the chives. Serve immediately.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Layer the onion in a deep pie plate. Layer half the potatoes over the onions and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper to taste. Top with the parsnips and the remaining potatoes. Sprinkle with the remaining salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon of thyme.
• Combine the chicken broth and cider and pour over the potatoes. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for 30 minutes more, basting. Sprinkle with the parsley and the remaining thyme and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Use a Japanese mandolin or sharp knife to slice the parsnips and potatoes very thinly. Layer the parsnips and potatoes in a shallow gratin dish, sprinkling some cheese and onion and a little drizzle of the cream over each layer, seasoning with salt and pepper as you go. The top layer should be potatoes and parsnips with a final sprinkling of cheese and drizzling of cream.
• Cover with foil and bake in the oven for 2 hrs, alongside the pork. Remove the foil and continue to bake for 20 mins until golden. For a really golden brown top, finish under a hot grill if you like.
