1/4 cup olive oil

  • 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.

Transfer to paper towels; sprinkle with salt.

TURNIP PANCAKES



Turnip Pancakes image

I'm trying to come up with ways to cook turnips that don't involve roasting, stewing or mashing them, so I came up with this recently. It started as a potato pancake recipe from the Joy of Cooking, then changed when I tried it out. They came out rather sweet considering there's no sugar added... I'll definitely be eating these again. Good hot or cold.

Tips:

  • To achieve crispy pancakes, make sure to drain the potatoes and turnips thoroughly after grating them. Excess moisture will prevent the pancakes from browning properly.
  • Grate the potatoes and turnips using the large holes of a box grater. This will create a coarse texture that will hold together well when cooked.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the pancakes tough.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. This will allow them to cook through without burning.
  • Flip the pancakes only once. Flipping them too often will break them up.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

Potato turnip pancakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can create crispy, golden brown pancakes that will be a hit with your family and friends.
