    broth.
  • Meanwhile, boil potatoes and parsnips 12-15 minutes just until tender.
  • Drain the water off and put back on the burner with the heat turned off, just to allow them
    to dry out for one minutes.
  • Add butter, heavy whipping cream and 1/2 cup of cheese.
  • Mash until smooth and season with salt and pepper.
  • Spread the potatoes and parsnips over
    the beef filling in the baking dish.
  • Place in a 375°F oven for 15 minutes, top with the rest
    of the cheese and return to the oven for an additional 15 minutes or until bubbly and the top is
    browned.
  • Serve warm.
