BAKED RUTABAGA FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 450 F. Trim off and discard the stem and root ends of the rutabaga. Peel the rutabaga.
• Use a sharp knife or a kitchen mandoline , if you have one, and cut the rutabaga into evenly sized sticks or fries. If using a knife, first cut the rutabaga in half, then cut each half into even 1/4-inch thick slices. Stack the slices and cut them the other direction into 1/4-inch thick sticks. Repeat with the remaining half of the rutabaga. If using a mandoline, set it up for wide julienne and push the rutabaga through-note that rutabagas have a fairly thick or dense texture, and it can take some force to get them through the julienne setting on mandolines.
• Put the rutabaga sticks in a large bowl and drizzle with the oil. Toss the sticks so they are thoroughly and evenly coated with the oil. Sprinkle with the pepper and/or garlic powder, if using them, and toss to distribute them evenly over the rutabaga.
• Spread the rutabaga sticks in a single layer on a lightly oiled baking sheet or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle the sticks evenly with the salt.
• Bake the rutabaga sticks for 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and turn over the rutabaga sticks. Return to the oven and bake until they are tender and well browned, about 40 minutes.
• If the rutabaga sticks towards the edges are more browned earlier, you can take them off the pan and return the rest to brown all the way. The appeal of these baked fries is the contrast between the crispy edges and the sweet tender centers, so don't skimp on the cooking time.
• Serve the fries hot.

RUTABAGA HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Heat oil or butter in a medium to large sized heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat.
• Add rutabaga and saute until golden. Can cover for a few minutes with a lid to help steam the cubes. Season with salt and pepper to taste (and ranch seasoning if using), stirring occasionally.
• Once rutabaga is as browned as you like your home fries, add bacon bits and stir in the Ricotta, if using.
• Note: This is really a guideline based on how I like my home fries. Onion and peppers could be added to the oil before adding the 'baga. This could be topped with any shredded cheese you like rather than the Ricotta. Pepper jack would be good in this -- It's up to your own taste.
