Cheesy Bacon Parsnip Patties

Parsnips take on a new starring role in this interesting side dish. This is a great way to make use of leftover mashed parsnip.

In medium bowl, combine parsnips, bread crumbs, bacon, cheese, onion and horseradish; shape into 4 patties. In large skillet, heat butter over medium heat; brown patties on both sides, about 4 minutes.

To cook parsnips: Peel and cut parsnips into thick slices; cook in boiling water until very tender. Drain and return to pot; mash until smooth.

VARIATION:
Cheesy Parsnip Patties: Omit bacon and add 1/2 tsp (2 mL) dried dillweed.
