Cheese makes any dish better, in my opinion, and this gooey, comforting potato and parsnip casserole is no exception. Even those who turn up their noses at vegetables will dig into this dish. -Corinna Platt, Bellingham, Washington

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less cheese and cream. However, my husband loved it, so I'll probably make it again for him.

This dish was easy to make and turned out great. I used Yukon Gold potatoes instead of russet potatoes, and they worked perfectly. The scalloped potatoes and parsnips were creamy and cheesy, and the breadcrumb topping added a nice crunchy texture.

I've never cooked with parsnips before, but I'm so glad I tried this recipe. The parsnips added a slightly sweet and nutty flavor to the dish that was really delicious. I'll definitely be using parsnips in more recipes in the future.
