• Peel and thinly slice turnips and onions - its best if you have a mandolin - they need to be thin.

• lay a layer of turnip on the bottom - followed by a layer of onions followed by a layer of cheese - then continue until you have used all your ingredients. make sure you end with turnip on the top.
• Pour your cream mixture gently over the top- wiggle your layers around so that the moisture gets down to the bottom and all through the ingredients. If you think there should be a little more cream - by all means add more. Top off with a sprinkle of what ever spices you are using (salt, pepper, garlic, mixed seasonings etc).
• bake for 1 1/2 hours or until a fork goes through the tatoes easily -.
• serve and enjoy.
