6 patties
- Serves:
- 6
ingredients
- 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
directions
- 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.

I like to cook. I also like to breathe, look at myself in the mirror, and eat small vegetables. I work as a parsnip in my spare time and covet the cool side of the pillow.
