Tips:

Choose the right potatoes. Russet potatoes are the best choice for this recipe because they hold their shape well and have a fluffy texture. Yukon Gold potatoes are also a good option, but they may fall apart more easily.
Don't overcook the potatoes. The potatoes should be tender, but not mushy. Overcooked potatoes will make the casserole watery.
Use fresh turnips. Fresh turnips have a sweeter flavor than turnips that have been stored for a long time. If you can't find fresh turnips, you can use frozen turnips, but thaw them completely before using.
Season the casserole well. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all essential seasonings for this recipe. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
Bake the casserole until it's golden brown. The casserole is done baking when the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender.

Conclusion:

Potato turnip bake is a classic comfort food dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its creamy texture and flavorful ingredients, potato turnip bake will be a hit with your family and friends.
