TURNIP PANCAKES

Steps:

• Grate turnips into colander.
• Sprinkle grated turnip with salt; turn & mix to evenly distribute salt. Allow to sit for 10 - 20 minutes.
• After resting, squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Move drained turnip to bowl.
• Sprinkle turnips with flour; toss turnip to distribute flour.
• Add 3 eggs. Stir to mix well.
• Heat oil in pan until hot enough for frying.
• Drop large spoonfuls of batter into oil; should flatten out into 3" patties. Fry until browned; then flip & cook until set & browned.

POTATO AND TURNIP PATTIES

Steps:

• In a large saucepan of boiling salted water, cook the turnip and potato cubes for 15 to 17 minutes, until they are tender, and drain them.
• In a bowl, mash them with a fork and stir in the scallions, the egg, flour, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Coat the bottom of a large, heavy bottomed skillet with about 1/4-inch of the oil. Heat the pan on medium high heat until the surface of the oil begins to shimmer, but not smoke.
• Spoon 1/4-cup mounds of the turnip potato batter into the pan, flattening them into 1/2-inch thick patties with the back of a spatula. Fry the patties until they are golden, turning them once, about 4 minutes on each side. Transfer the patties to paper towels to drain off excess oil.

POTATO-AND-TURNIP CAKES

Steps:

• Coarsely grate (with a box grater or a food processor fitted with the grater attachment) potatoes and turnips, all scrubbed and trimmed. Squeeze to remove as much moisture as possible; transfer vegetables to a medium bowl. Toss with coarse salt and ground pepper.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Form potato mixture into four tightly packed patties; place in skillet, flattening gently with a spatula to a 3/4-inch thickness. Cook patties, turning once, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes per side (reduce heat if patties start to brown too quickly, and add more oil to skillet if necessary). Transfer to paper towels; sprinkle with salt.
