This recipe was found on another recipe website, which was originally found in an 1985 edition of Gourmet magazine. They're absolutely delicious, and they go great with a nice steak.

Time 38m

Yield 6 patties, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 lb turnip, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch cubes (about 1 1/3 cups)
6 ounces potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 1 cup)
2 1/2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallion tops
1 egg, beaten lightly
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
canola oil (for frying)
salt and pepper

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.
