Potatoes Turnips W Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring turnips, potatoes, and bay leaf to a boil in salted water over high; cook until vegetables are tender when pierced with a knife, 20 minutes. Drain, discard bay leaf, and return vegetables to pan. Add sour cream and butter, and mash until mostly smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Cook cubed potatoes and turnips in boiling salted water until fork tender; drain well.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and garlic and saute for about 3 - 4 minutes.
• To the skillet, add the cooked drained potato and turnip cubes.
• Add the salt and pepper.
• Continue to cook and stir until potatoes and turnips are lightly browned (or browned to your liking), adjusting heat as necessary.
• When done, sprinkle with the parsley and serve.

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.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• Toss turnips, potatoes and garlic with olive oil until coated and season with rosemary, salt and pepper.
• Scatter vegetables in a single layer on a rimmed cookie sheet and bake about 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until browned yet tender inside. Turn the vegetables occasionally with a spatula or by shaking the pan.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Combine first 6 ingredients in heavy medium saucepan. Bring to simmer. Remove from heat.
• Arrange potatoes and turnips in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish, alternating and overlapping slightly. Pour warm cream mixture over. Sprinkle with pepper.
• Bake until vegetables are tender and top is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly, then serve.

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.

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.
