Turnip Bubble and Sqeak:
1 cup Turnips (cubed)
1 cup Red Potatos (cubed)
3 slices bacon,
1 cup Turnip Greens (chopped)
1 TBS Butter
Salt and Pepper
First I sauted my tunip greens in a little olive oil and garlic. Once they were done, I set them aside to cool. After coating with olive oil, salt and pepper, I roasted my potatos and turnips in a 400 degree oven until they were fork tender and a little browned. While they were cooking I cooked up some bacon, crumble it and dicarded most of the oil.
I then combined everything in a bowl with a little butter and mixed until the potatos and turnips started to break up a little. I re-heated the bacon drippings in my small frying pan and added the mixture to it. I let it go for a while without turning and mashed it all down into the pan like one big pancake. After it started to brown, I gave it a flip, brown the other side and served.
RESULTS: This actually came out pretty good. We had Salmon Croquettes on the menu tonight and this went with it pretty well. I think the only thing I would change is to use a different type of greens with the turnips and potatos. The turnip greens and the turnips was just a little too much together. I think a milder green would have worked better. It did make a really good side dish though!
