Some days, we just want a big bowl of warm, cheesy goodness with plenty of carbs, too. This Potato and Parsnip Gratin delivers thinly sliced potatoes and parsnips tucked snugly in a baking dish between layers of Gruyere and Parmsean cheese and a rich bechamel sauce. Fried sage leaves and a top layer of even more broiled cheese add a crunch to the velvety insides. Serve it as a side or dig into it as a truly decadent main. No shame, friends. Get the recipe here.
