Potato And Turnip Food

TURNIP AND POTATO PATTIES

Steps:

• Cook chopped turnip and potato in boiling water: In a large saucepan of boiling salted water, cook the turnip and potato cubes for 15 to 17 minutes, or until they are tender, and drain them.
• Mash turnips and potatoes: In a bowl, mash the cooked turnips and potatoes with a fork and stir in the scallions, the egg, flour, and salt and pepper to taste.

MUSTARDY MASHED TURNIPS AND POTATOES

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.

TURNIP MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Slice potatoes and turnips 1/4-inch thick. Cook in boiling water for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain.
• Whip cooked potatoes and turnips with electric mixer, mixing until moderately smooth (don't overbeat them; a few lumps are nice).
• Add hot cream, butter and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Whip again until blended.
• Adjust thickness by adding more cream, if desired.

TURNIP, POTATO AND GARLIC SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the potato, minced garlic, rosemary and thyme sprigs, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, until the potatoes are well coated, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer.
• Add the turnips and remaining garlic cloves, bring back to a simmer and cook until the turnips and garlic are tender, about 20 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer. Remove from the heat, and cool at least 5 minutes. Remove and discard the rosemary and thyme and carefully puree until smooth with a handheld immersion blender or in 2 to 3 batches in a blender (do not fill the blender more than halfway full).
• Stir in the cream and reheat the soup if necessary. Adjust the consistency and seasoning with water, salt and pepper.
• Serve hot garnished with crispy fried shallots and parsley.

CREAMY TURNIP AND SWEET POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the potato, garlic, rosemary, thyme, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, until the potatoes are well coated, 2 to 3 minutes more. Pour in the stock and bring to a simmer.
• Add the sweet potato and turnip and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer. Remove from the heat and cool at least 5 minutes. Remove and discard the herbs and carefully puree until smooth with a handheld immersion blender or in 2 to 3 batches in a blender (do not fill the blender more than halfway full per batch).
• Stir in the cream and reheat the soup if necessary, adjusting the consistency and seasoning with water, salt and pepper.
• Serve hot sprinkled with grated Parmesan.

TURNIP GREENS AND POTATOES WITH DRESSING

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
• Place the potatoes in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes. Drain potatoes and let cool slightly.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil with the olive oil. Add the greens and boil for 5 minutes, or until done to taste. Drain well and chop coarsely. Place warm greens and potatoes in a shallow mixing bowl, drizzle with the dressing and toss well to coat.
• Serve warm or room temperature.

SWEET POTATO TURNIP GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the cream, garlic, thyme and cayenne in a saucepan, and season with salt. Taste to make sure it is adequately seasoned. Bring to a boil and then turn off the heat. Steep the mixture for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Grease the baking dish and layer in one-third of the sliced turnips. Sprinkle one-sixth of the grated cheese over the turnips and dot with one-sixth of the butter. Remove the thyme and garlic from the cream and pour one-sixth of the cream over the turnips. Repeat the layering five more times, alternating the turnip with sweet potato, until all of the ingredients are used up, for a total of six layers.
• Cover the dish with foil, place on a baking sheet and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until golden, another 20 minutes. When done, a fork should slide in and out of the center of the dish easily.
• Rest the dish 10 to 12 minutes, then serve.

TURNIP GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. Thinly slice the potatoes and turnips to about 2mm thick - you can use a Japanese mandolin if you have one - then toss together in a large bowl. Pour the cream in a pan, then add the garlic, plenty of salt and some white pepper - be generous when seasoning the cream as the potatoes and turnips aren't seasoned separately. Bring the cream to the boil, then remove from the heat and put to one side. Grease a large gratin dish and layer a third of the potatoes and turnips in the dish, slightly overlapping each other as if you are building a wall. Pour over a third of the warm cream, then continue in this way with the remaining potatoes, turnips and cream.
• Put the gratin in the oven and cook for 20 mins. Remove the dish from the oven and push the potatoes and turnips down with a fish slice. This will help to release the starches and the cream will eventually reduce and thicken. Put the gratin back in the oven and repeat the process every 10 mins until the potatoes and turnips feel tight and firm. Return to the oven for another 20 mins and cook until golden brown and tender - test by inserting a sharp knife through the potatoes and turnips. Remove from the oven and leave to cool slightly.

MASHED POTATO AND TURNIP GRATIN

Steps:

• Butter 11x7x2-inch glass or ceramic baking dish. Cook potatoes and turnips in heavy large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 35 minutes. Drain. Cool vegetables slightly and peel. Cut into large chunks; place in food processor. Add butter and process until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl occasionally. Add 1/4 cup cheese and pinch of ground nutmeg; blend briefly. Season puree to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon into prepared dish. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese. (Gratin can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Bake gratin uncovered until vegetables are hot and top is golden, about 25 minutes.

POTATO-AND-TURNIP GRATIN

Steps:

• Infuse liquid: Heat oven to 375 degrees, and butter a 2 1/2-quart oval gratin dish or 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Bring cream and thyme to just under a boil in a small saucepan, then remove from heat and let stand 30 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve and discard solids.
• Assemble: Arrange the vegetable slices in an overlapping fashion in the baking dish, alternating them and seasoning with salt and pepper as you go. Dot with butter, if using. Pour cream over top (it should almost cover the vegetables; add up to 1/2 cup more if necessary) and cover tightly with parchment-lined foil.
• Bake: Bake until vegetables are tender, about 45 minutes, then remove foil and bake until golden brown and bubbling, about 15 minutes more. Serve at once.

CLAPSHOT

Steps:

• Place the potatoes, turnips, carrots, and salt in a Dutch oven, fill with water to cover the vegetables and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Reduce the heat to medium-high and boil the vegetables until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and mash the vegetables with a potato masher. Spoon the mashed vegetables into a serving dish, top with cubes of butter and drizzle with cream.

POTATO AND TURNIP PATTIES

Steps:

• In a large saucepan of boiling salted water, cook the turnip and potato cubes for 15 to 17 minutes, until they are tender, and drain them.
• In a bowl, mash them with a fork and stir in the scallions, the egg, flour, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Coat the bottom of a large, heavy bottomed skillet with about 1/4-inch of the oil. Heat the pan on medium high heat until the surface of the oil begins to shimmer, but not smoke.
• Spoon 1/4-cup mounds of the turnip potato batter into the pan, flattening them into 1/2-inch thick patties with the back of a spatula. Fry the patties until they are golden, turning them once, about 4 minutes on each side. Transfer the patties to paper towels to drain off excess oil.

TURNIP, POTATO & MUSTARD GRATIN

Steps:

• Fill a saucepan with 500ml water, the milk, a good pinch of salt and a grinding of black pepper, then bring to the boil. Add the turnips and potatoes and cook for 2 mins. Strain, drain well and pat dry.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter a baking dish and rub the sides with garlic to just add a hint of flavour. Mix the cream and mustard in a large bowl, add the potatoes and turnip, mix until well coated and season really well. Layer into the baking dish, flattening the top level. Can be assembled and chilled a day ahead.
• Bake for 30-40 mins or until golden brown and the turnip and potato are cooked through - check with the point of a sharp knife.

POTATO & TURNIP BAKE

Steps:

• Arrange potatoes, onions and turnip in layers in a lightly greased casserole dish.
• Whisk together the remaining ingredients and pour carefully over the vegetables.
• Bake, covered, in a moderate oven (180c) for 30 minutes.
• Remove cover and bake for a further 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

ROASTED POTATOES & TURNIPS

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.
