Method

  • step 1

    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.

  • step 2

    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.

  • step 3

    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.

Great recipe. I steamed the potatoes and parsnip in an instant pot and served as a main with green beans and salad. Found it needed a bit more more salt/savoury-ness so added nutritional yeast and marmite to the white sauce. Great as a main or a side.

Far too acidic in my opinion, I was wary when adding the white wine vinegar but wanted to follow the recipe and regret it now. Have a lot of leftovers!

question

How do you stop the crumb topping from burning? It was nearly black after about 20 minutes while the inside was still cold. I put a lid on which just about saved it but still. (I had the oven at right temp, although I had pre-heated it for longer than usual, which shouldn't affect it in theory? but…

How can I substitute 2 tbsp of wholegrain mustard? Would a teaspoon of Colman's mustard powder be OK?

Hi, Thanks for your question. If you made the powder into mustard first that should be fine. All the best, Barney

29oz potato, 29oz parsnip, 3oz butter, 3oz plain flour, 3oz fresh white bread, 1oz cheese.

I hope you're still with us and my small act of kindness helps me win my place in heaven (except I'm an atheist so this makes me even more selfless, move over Marcus Rashford).
