Method

1. Pre-heat oven to 200oC/180oC Fan/Gas Mark 6.

3. In a small saucepan melt the butter, stir in the flour and cook over a low heat for a couple of minutes. Remove from the heat and gradually stir in the milk and cream. Return to the heat and bring to the boil stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Cook for a couple of minutes then stir in the mustard and season to taste.
4. Place the drained potatoes and parsnips in a shallow ovenproof dish and pour over the mustard sauce.
5. Mix together the breadcrumbs, herbs and Parmesan and sprinkle over the dish.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the crumbs are golden brown.
