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!

Are they ok for Induction tho?

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!

[Isabeau]

Good for you on the veggie thing. Really, that is big accomplishment and you're a great role model for the many posters we get who don't like veggies. :yes

[not2late]

The best Induction veggie for making chips is celery root, which is also called celeriac. If you do a search for celery root or celeriac, you'll find the recipe I posted for making the chips/fries.

Fresh pumpkin does well for chipping too.

Megs,

I did find your post, that is what inspired me to go celeric shopping, but with no success. I am going to look some more for one though. Thanks.

in case you aren't sure this is what celeriac looks like

I tried the turnip-browns...but they came out really mushy. With a little butter and salt they tasted fine, but what is the best way to make them????
