These were wonderfully creamy. And, I loved the addition of bacon. Some horseradish may go nicely in these too. These are a great side dish to serve when having company for dinner.

Steps:
- 1. Salt and pepper sliced parsnips liberally. Place them in a pot and cover with cream and milk.
- 2. Add bay leaf, crushed garlic and thyme to the pot. Bring pot to a low simmer, watching cautiously and stirring frequently so the cream does not singe to the bottom on the pot. Simmer for 15 minutes or until parsnips are tender.
- 3. Meanwhile in another pan fry bacon until crispy. Add minced shallot to bacon and toss until translucent. Remove from heat and drain excess fat. Set aside.
- 4. Once parsnips are tender, strain parsnips from the cream, reserving the excess cream. Remove and dispose of bay leaf and thyme sprigs.
- 5. In a food processor or with an immersion blender, puree parsnips with butter. Add some of the excess cream you cooked the parsnips in if you need to thin out your puree.
- 6. Add crispy bacon and Parmesan to the puree, pulsing lightly to incorporate into puree.
- 7. Salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
