Parsnip & Potato Gratin

During the deep freeze of winter, when the tomatoes have run out and the spinach is tougher than 6 months prior I dig about my root vegetables for something comforting. This parsnip and potato gratin is slightly more earthy and bitter than a traditional potato gratin, and compliments gamy meats such as venison and lamb splendidly.
