What Fried Turnips Recipes

CRISPY TURNIP 'FRIES'

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a piece of aluminum foil and lightly grease.
• Peel the turnips, and cut into French fry-sized sticks, about 1/3 by 4 inches. Place into a large bowl, and toss with the vegetable oil to coat. Place the Parmesan cheese, garlic salt, paprika, onion powder in a resealable plastic bag, and shake to mix. Place the oiled turnips into the bag, and shake until evenly coated with the spices. Spread out onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until the outside is crispy, and the inside is tender, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

FRIED TURNIP PATTIES

Steps:

• Shred turnips and cheese, chop onions and mince garlic.
• Combine all ingredients, excluding butter and oil.
• Press 1/3 to 1/2 cup turnip mixture into patties.
• I used a plastic patty maker.
• Add butter and oil to frying pan.
• Heat over medium-high heat.
• When pan is nice and hot, gently place patty into pan and allow the bottom to thoroughly brown, about 3 to 5 minutes.
• Flip and allow the other side to brown.
• Turning them was slightly difficult as the cheese is now molten.
• Remove from pan to paper towel.
• Cool slightly and serve.

PAN FRIED TURNIPS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Cook cubed potatoes and turnips in boiling salted water until fork tender; drain well.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and garlic and saute for about 3 - 4 minutes.
• To the skillet, add the cooked drained potato and turnip cubes.
• Add the salt and pepper.
• Continue to cook and stir until potatoes and turnips are lightly browned (or browned to your liking), adjusting heat as necessary.
• When done, sprinkle with the parsley and serve.

TURNIPS FRIED WITH BACON

• In a non-stick skillet on medium high heat, cook the bacon until they just begin to turn brown.
• Add onion and saute until onion becomes translucent.
• Stir in turnips and saute for another 5 - 7 minutes or until the turnps are cripsy and a bit brown on the outside.
