directions

  • Prepare turnip.
  • Heat 3/4 to 1 inch of oil over medium heat, until consistent temperature.
  • Put the turnip in the oil and separate the fries from each other with tongs or a fork, so they don't stick together.
  • Fry the turnip in batches over medium heat.
  • The turnip will float & bubble furiously. They bubble less and less as they approach "cooked".
  • Fry until browned around the edges and the surface of the fries is bubbly.
  • Wait between batches to let the oil temperature equalize.
  • Blot on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • Salt & serve immediately.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a New Englander doing my Masters in Landscape Architecture in Germany. I miss fish & chips, chowder, burritos & buffalo wings, and have decided that I'm going to bring these tastes to my new home here. My recipes reflect the fact that I travel a lot and often have to deal with substitutions. This has made me a *much* better cook in the long run. I'm happy to say that, after 18 months, I have finally started to translate my mom's recipes into ml and Celsius. :)
