turnips for chips?

[Shay]

Has anyone tried slicing these thin and frying them like potatoes for chips?

[Isabeau]

Not like that, but I make turnip 'fries' all the time. In fact, they're my favourite! I bet they'd be great that way too.

We love the turnip 'fries' too...I cut them into fries, coat them in oil and lay them on a foil-lined baking sheet, and bake till done...AWESOME!

I am getting ready to make turnip hashbrowns now. Late breakfast this morning. I hope I like them, I tried the cauliflower recipe that was supposed to taste like a stuffed baked potato and about gagged the other night ensive so I am hoping for better results this time.

You know, I've had most veggies on the lists and enjoyed them but I've never tried something as simple as turnips. Do they have a radish taste?

[Shay]

I made the turnip brown and they weren't bad. The first batch I burnt to black because I was trying to get the crispy (very unsuccessful..they were just black soggy mush) Second time I cooked them until they were browning and took them out. The sogginess wasn't great but they had a little crunch to them when chewing and once I put over-easy eggs on top and broke the yoke over them, mixed it together, it was almost like the real thing. The taste was very similar I think the only thing that stopped this from being a total success was my mind telling me I was eating turnips the whole time LOL
I used to be absolutely anti-vegtable, you name it I hated it....I'm worked super hard on that one!
