This is delicious! The only thing I tweaked was seasonings. I added some seasoning salt, garlic, etc to suit my family's taste but it's great with the original recipe as well. My husband had never eaten turnips but he thoroughly enjoyed these.

DELICIOUS! A real winner here ~ made as directed. Loved the buttery, oniony flavor of the mix of turnips and potatoes. I made this as a side to go with recipe#234128 and will definitely make this again, it was so easy and the result was wonderful. Thanks for posting. Made for ZWT6 ~ GREAT BRITAIN Region and the Queens of Quisine!

This recipe was included in Book#228608. November 15, 2008 -- This dish is definitely a keeper. I love turnips, although my son doesn't; he enjoyed this very much and I told him after dinner that this not only had potatoes, but also had turnips in it. He said "well I guess they're not so bad after all." DH and I loved the combo of the turnips and potatoes; a little extra zing that made this stand out from the usual homefries. A winner in our household for sure.
