Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 8-10

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 pounds turnips (6 to 7), peeled and chopped
1 large russet potato (10 to 12 ounces), peeled and chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more, not melted, for serving
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Put the turnips and potatoes in a medium saucepot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until the vegetables are tender and meet no resistance when pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes.
  • Drain well. Whip in a large bowl using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until well blended. Add the sour cream, mustard and butter and continue to whip on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the parsley and top with a pat of butter.

ROASTED POTATOES & TURNIPS



Roasted Potatoes & Turnips image

Adding a bit of broth at the start of roasting gives these vegetables a creamier, softer texture than dry-roasting-more like potatoes that have been roasted alongside a hefty cut of meat. During roasting, the vegetables absorb the broth and then begin to brown. Once you try this recipe, you might be surprised by how much you like turnips.

CHEESY TURNIP AND POTATO GRATIN



Cheesy Turnip and Potato Gratin image

Replacing turnip for some of the potatoes not only reduces carbs but also adds another layer of flavor. I also chose to use half-and-half over whipping cream to lighten things up a bit.

ROASTED POTATOES & TURNIPS



Roasted Potatoes & Turnips image

Oven-roasting is an especially good way of cooking winter root vegetables such as potatoes, turnips, carrots, parsnips, and celery root, as well as onions, unpeeled garlic cloves, squashes, and fennel. The crispiness and caramelization that develops in the oven brings out the vegetables' natural sweetness and intensifies their flavors.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 or 4 medium potatoes
6 medium turnips
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and fresh-ground black pepper
Thyme, rosemary, sage, or bay leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Peel the potatoes and turnips. Cut them into pieces about the same size and about 1/2 inch thick, so they will cook evenly. Toss the vegetables with a light coating of olive oil and season with salt and fresh-ground pepper. Sprinkle with chopped herbs or sprigs of herbs such as thyme, rosemary, sage, and bay leaves. Put the vegetables on a baking sheet or in a gratin dish and roast, stirring and turning the vegetables occasionally once they begin to color, until browned here and there and tender throughout, about 30 minutes. Take care not to overcook, or they can toughen and dry out.
  • Add other vegetables, such as carrots, parsnips, rutabagas, winter squash, and fennel.
  • While still hot from the oven, toss the vegetables with a mixture of finely chopped garlic and parsley.
  • Eggplant is delicious roasted: Cut firm, shiny globe eggplant into slices about 1/2 inch thick. Brush the slices with olive oil on both sides, season with salt and fresh-ground pepper, and place on a baking sheet. Roast the eggplant at 400°F for 15 to 20 minutes, until the slices are nicely browned on the bottom. The slices will stick to the pan at first but will lift easily with a spatula once they are browned. Flip the slices over and cook for another 10 minutes or so, until browned on the other side. Keep an eye on them; the slices will cook faster on the second side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potato. Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape well and are less likely to fall apart during cooking.
  • Cut the potatoes and turnips into uniform pieces. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you're cooking a lot of potatoes and turnips, cook them in batches so that they have enough room to brown.
  • Season the potatoes and turnips generously. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good options.
  • Don't stir the potatoes and turnips too often. Stirring them too much will prevent them from getting crispy.
  • Cook the potatoes and turnips until they are tender and browned. This may take about 20 minutes, depending on the size of the pieces.
  • Serve the potatoes and turnips immediately. They are best enjoyed hot out of the pan.

Conclusion:

Potatoes, turnips, and onions are a classic combination that can be enjoyed in many different ways. This recipe for Roasted Potatoes, Turnips, and Onions is a simple and easy way to prepare these vegetables.
