I'm not a big fan of parsnips, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this dish. The parsnips were cooked perfectly, and they had a slightly sweet flavor that complemented the potatoes nicely. The cheese sauce was also very good.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. The potatoes and parsnips were undercooked, and the sauce was too thin. I think I might have needed to cook it for longer.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning. I also found that the potatoes and parsnips were a bit too soft for my liking.
