Parsnip and potato bake

A Recipe found in IAFRICA.com byH Geyser
Parsnips and potatoes go delightfully well together, particularly if they are married with the blessings of garlic, cream and cheese.
I love this dish for its taste and simplicity and for the fact that it goes equally well with a variety of meats such as bacon, ham, gammon, kassler chops, , spicy chorizo sausage — or on its own as a vegitarian dish
You can serve this parsnip and potato bake as a side dish (it is always popular at a BBQ), as a starter or as a main course. Served with a salad it makes a lovely summer meal.
