Vegetable 'Cake'

Ingredients

8 potatoes
10 carrots
5 beets
2 TB bell pepper chopped
1 onion chopped
1 clove garlic minced
oil
1 TB parsley or cilantro finely chopped
salt & pepper to taste
1/8 tsp paprika
1/2 cup sour cream

Directions

Combine potatoes, carrots and beets in a big pot with water. Boil them until well cooked, then drain the water and let the veggies cool to manage to peel. Put the peeled vegetables in different bowls and mash them separately with a potato masher or a fork.
Heat oil in a skillet and cook onions until they are transparent, then add peppers and cook another minute or 2. To this add potatoes with paprika, parsley, salt & pepper. Mix them well and turn off the heat.
To the mashed carrots add 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, salt and pepper and set aside.
Add 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, salt & pepper, parsley and garlic to the mashed beets.

Take a cake platter or a big plate and put the mashed potato mix on it and shape it into a round cake. Put 1/3 of the sour cream on top of potatoes and spread it like a frosting. Then put carrots on top and shape it into a smaller cake, then cover it with half of the remaining sour cream. Finally add the beets and form a smaller cake shape than the second layer and spread the rest of the sour cream on the sides and if you want you can also decorate the top with it. Finish it off with a sprinkle of parsley or cilantro.
You can serve this warm right away or chilled.

Serves 8-10 people.
