Hashbrown Casserole

Hashbrown casseroles are a fairly standard breakfast fare, especially around the holidays if you're part of my family. But a traditional recipe is loaded with potatoes, cheese and dairy products. This recipe owns a unique twist by the use of parsnips, omission of cheese and addition of coconut milk. It's creamy. It's rich. It's full of flavor. AND it's easy to make.
