I'm not a big fan of turnips, but I decided to give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The turnips were not as strong as I expected, and they paired well with the potatoes. I would definitely make this again.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The turnips were a bit tough, but the potatoes were creamy and flavorful. I would recommend parboiling the turnips before baking to soften them up a bit.
