CRISPY TURNIP 'FRIES'
My daughters and I are on a low-carb diet and were looking for something to curb our 'French fry' cravings. I've heard that turnips can be made into some great 'fries.' I experimented with it and came up with this. You can add whatever spices you'd like.

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.

Steps:
- Place peeled turnips in a pot of salted water to cover. Bring to a boil. Cook 20 to 30 minutes or until turnips can be pierced easily with a paring knife. Drain. Let cool slightly.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Place the turnips on a clean kitchen towel or double layer of paper towels. Gently press each one down until it's approximately 1/2-inch high. Let them drain for 15 minutes then carefully flip them over onto a dry section of the towel or onto fresh paper towels so the other side drains and dries a bit.
- Combine garlic, olive oil and salt and black pepper, to taste in a small bowl.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick aluminum foil. Place the flattened turnips on the lined baking sheet. Brush each turnip with a little of the olive oil and garlic combination. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over each turnip, gently pressing it down.
- Carefully and quickly flip each turnip over. Repeat with the remaining olive oil and garlic combination and cheese.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Flip each turnip and bake an additional 15 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh chives and serve.

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.

Tips:
- Choose the right turnips: Look for firm, smooth turnips that are about the size of a tennis ball. Avoid turnips that have any blemishes or soft spots.
- Peel and grate the turnips: Use a sharp knife to peel the turnips, then grate them using the large holes of a box grater.
- Squeeze out the excess moisture: Once the turnips are grated, place them in a colander and use your hands to squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This will help the patties to hold together better.
- Season the patties: In a large bowl, combine the grated turnips, onion, garlic, eggs, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
- Form the patties: Use your hands to form the mixture into 12 equal patties. You can make them any size you like, but I like to make them about 2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
- Cook the patties: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve the patties: Serve the patties hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Fried turnip patties are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a potluck. The patties are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and they are full of flavor. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to cook turnips, I highly recommend trying this recipe.
