The parsnips and potatoes are slow-cooked in chicken stock and bacon fat, which infuses them with flavor and creates a tender texture. The melted cheese on top adds a perfect finishing touch. This dish is perfect for all seasons, and can be served on its own or as a side dish.

5.	Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the bacon is golden brown.
