This parsnip, potato, and turnip puree is a sophisticated alternative to standard mashed potatoes, offering a wonderful depth of flavour from the roasted root vegetables. The combination of sweet parsnips and peppery turnips creates a complex savoury base, while the addition of cream cheese ensures a silky, indulgent texture. It is a fantastic vegetarian side dish that brings a touch of elegance to any Sunday roast or midweek meal.
Topped with golden, buttery panko breadcrumbs and fresh dill, this bake provides a satisfying contrast between the crunchy topping and the velvety smooth vegetables beneath. It is particularly convenient for entertaining, as both the puree and the toasted crumbs can be prepared a day in advance. Simply assemble and bake until golden for a nutritious, homemade addition to your dinner table.
