We think hashbrowns are utterly gorgeous and slightly addictive. Fried in butter until crisp and golden with their dense, greasy centre, they complete an English fry up or make the perfect side for a fancy steak dinner. 

But have you ever thought of taking a chance on the parsnip hash brown? This hunky root veg often gets a bad rep in the kitchen, but if you give this recipe a go, we guarantee you’ll fall head over heels with this blonde chap. Parsnips not only make a tastier hash, they’re also high in fibre and packed full of nutrients, making them the perfect substitute to the potato. We paired them with a super simple pear and black pepper sauce, but you could also make them to go alongside a host of other delicious recipes.
