I've always just been kind of lukewarm on parsnips but we tried this recipe last night and loved it! Of course, what's not to love about something breaded and fried, right? I did use more breadcrumbs than called for though because 8 tbsp wasn't enough to really get a good coating. And it all stuck to the parsnip cakes just fine. Thank you for this recipe!
