Method

  1. Boil the sweet potatoes and parsnips for 20 mins in salted water until tender. Drain really well, then roughly mash with half the crème fraîche and half the sage, the mustard and salt and pepper. Pile into a buttered ovenproof dish and smooth over.
  2. Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Mix the breadcrumbs with the Parmesan, pine nuts and remaining sage. Spoon the remaining crème fraîche over the mash, scatter over the bread and cheese mixture, then bake for 35-40 mins from fridge-cold, 25-30 mins if not, until golden.

Get ahead

Both the mash and bread and cheese mixture can be made two days ahead - the mash can be chilled in the buttered dish, and the crumbs kept in an airtight container until ready to bake.

    I gave this a try to see whether I might make it for Christmas. It's fine but I think my old recipe of steamed parsnip mashed with crème fraiche and lots of nutmeg is simpler and better. Nutmeg is a better flavouring for parsnip than sage, in my opinion.

    Just made this for Christmas and loved it. Thought the sage went extremely well and will certainly make again.
