Frankfurters with root vegetable mash

If you want your kids to eat more veggies, this recipe will help you. I normally use two main vegetables such as sweet potatoes and carrot ( and hide some parsnip or swede in there  which they don’t even notice). I make this dish regularly for the family as its’ quick and easy -  and  most importantly everybody loves it!
