Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces thick-cut bacon slices, cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
4 large garlic cloves, peeled, crushed
1 1/2 pounds turnips, peeled, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 1/2 pounds white-skinned potatoes, peeled, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Mix 1/4 cup water, vinegar, and sugar in small bowl. Combine oil and bacon in heavy large skillet; sauté over medium-high heat until fat is rendered, 3 to 4 minutes. Add onion and garlic; sauté until onion is golden, about 5 minutes. Add turnips and potatoes; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sea salt and toss 5 minutes. Reduce heat to mediumlow, cover, and cook until vegetables are almost tender, stirring and turning vegetables occasionally, about 15 minutes.
  • Push vegetables to 1 side of skillet. Pour vinegar mixture into cleared space. Toss vegetables with vinegar mixture. Spread vegetables in even layer in skillet; cook until golden and slightly crisp on bottom, about 4 minutes. Turn vegetables over; spread in even layer and cook until browned and slightly crisp on bottom, about 4 minutes. Continue to turn, spread, and cook vegetables until tender, golden, and crisp around edges, 7 to 8 minutes longer. Season with more sea salt and black pepper. Transfer to bowl. Sprinkle with parsley.

I'm always looking for new ways to cook turnips and this recipe didn't disappoint. The turnips were perfectly cooked and the bacon and potatoes added a lot of flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.

This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. The turnips and potatoes are disguised by the bacon and the green onions add a nice pop of color.

This is a great recipe to use up leftover mashed potatoes. I simply formed the mashed potatoes into patties and browned them in the skillet with the turnips and bacon. It was a quick and easy way to make a delicious meal.

I'm a vegetarian so I omitted the bacon from this recipe. It was still delicious! I added some extra vegetables, like mushrooms and bell peppers, to make up for the lack of meat.

This dish was a hit! The turnips and potatoes were perfectly cooked - tender but still held their shape. The bacon added a nice smoky flavor. I served it with a side of roasted Brussels sprouts and it was a delicious and healthy meal.
