Hi.

The entire turnip is edible, but I like to remove the peel and the tough end near the top.

There's a recipe for turnip fries in the recipe section of DANDR2002---all the way in the back of the book, near the index.

Otherwise, you can boil and mash it like a potato, chop it and saute it like home fries, etc.

I wash mine real good and dice it.

Then I fry them in olive oil with a little garlic.

Then I add some sour cream mixed with heavy cream.

Top with cheddar cheese and bake until golden brown.

Was sooooooooooo good!
