Turnip And Potato Patties Recipes

POTATO-AND-TURNIP CAKES

Steps:

• Coarsely grate (with a box grater or a food processor fitted with the grater attachment) potatoes and turnips, all scrubbed and trimmed. Squeeze to remove as much moisture as possible; transfer vegetables to a medium bowl. Toss with coarse salt and ground pepper.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Form potato mixture into four tightly packed patties; place in skillet, flattening gently with a spatula to a 3/4-inch thickness. Cook patties, turning once, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes per side (reduce heat if patties start to brown too quickly, and add more oil to skillet if necessary). Transfer to paper towels; sprinkle with salt.

CHEESY TURNIP AND POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly butter a 9-inch gratin dish.
• Using a mandoline, slice potatoes and turnip into 1/8-inch-thick slices.
• Layer 1/2 of the potatoes and turnips in the bottom of the gratin dish. Sprinkle 1/2 of the thyme leaves over the vegetables, season with salt and pepper, and top with 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
• Layer remaining 1/2 of the potatoes and turnips on top of the cheese. Sprinkle remaining thyme leaves over the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper again. Pour half-and-half evenly over the top and cover with remaining 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese.
• Cover and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until browned and bubbly, about 10 more minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit 10 minutes before serving.

POTATO AND TURNIP PATTIES

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.

TURNIP MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Slice potatoes and turnips 1/4-inch thick. Cook in boiling water for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain.
• Whip cooked potatoes and turnips with electric mixer, mixing until moderately smooth (don't overbeat them; a few lumps are nice).
• Add hot cream, butter and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Whip again until blended.
• Adjust thickness by adding more cream, if desired.

TURNIP, POTATO & MUSTARD GRATIN

Steps:

• Fill a saucepan with 500ml water, the milk, a good pinch of salt and a grinding of black pepper, then bring to the boil. Add the turnips and potatoes and cook for 2 mins. Strain, drain well and pat dry.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter a baking dish and rub the sides with garlic to just add a hint of flavour. Mix the cream and mustard in a large bowl, add the potatoes and turnip, mix until well coated and season really well. Layer into the baking dish, flattening the top level. Can be assembled and chilled a day ahead.
• Bake for 30-40 mins or until golden brown and the turnip and potato are cooked through - check with the point of a sharp knife.

TURNIP AND POTATO MASH

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring turnips, potatoes, and bay leaf to a boil in salted water over high; cook until vegetables are tender when pierced with a knife, 20 minutes. Drain, discard bay leaf, and return vegetables to pan. Add sour cream and butter, and mash until mostly smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
