ENGLISH COTTAGE PIE WITH CHEDDAR AND PARSNIP MASH

English Cottage Pie With Cheddar and Parsnip Mash image

I made this last night and it went down a treat! The parsnips were a great addition, as well as giving an extra vegetable to your kiddies instead of just potatoes. My daughters cleaned their plates and have asked for it again tonight. I made the mince mixture in advance which cut down cooking time in the evening. You can make it even more nutritious by adding some more diced vegetables. From Delicious magazine
