Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 kg parsnips
  • 225 g mature cheddar cheese
  • 4 tbsp double cream (about 60 ml)
  • 50 g butter
  • 1 tsp thyme

Instructions
 

  • Peel and chop the parsnips into similar size pieces.
    1 kg parsnips
  • Place in a saucepan and top up with cold water and a little salt. Bring to the boil and simmer for around 10 minutes until nice and soft.
  • Drain the boiling water from the parsnips. Stir in the other ingredients and mash well.
    225 g mature cheddar cheese, 4 tbsp double cream (about 60 ml), 50 g butter, 1 tsp thyme
  • You can either heat it a little longer and serve as it is, or place in a casserole dish and top with a little extra cheese and reheat in the oven at a later stage. This is a nice option if you want to make it in advance but maybe not ideal if you have a crowded oven. Alternatively just reheat on the stove top.
