Tips:

  • Choose the right turnips: Look for small, tender turnips with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid turnips that are large, woody, or have blemishes.
  • Peel the turnips thinly: This will help the turnips cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Cut the turnips and potatoes into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the turnips and potatoes will not cook evenly and may become mushy.
  • Cook the turnips and potatoes over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Stir the turnips and potatoes occasionally: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Season the turnips and potatoes with salt and pepper to taste: You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Serve the turnips and potatoes hot: They can be served as a side dish or main course.
