Turnip and Potato Casserole
1 1/4 cups plain bread crumbs
2 cups milk
1 cup sour cream
1 pound turnip or rutabaga, peeled
2 large potatoes, peeled
1/2 cup chopped fresh chives
1/4 cup dried parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Preheat oven to 375�F. Sprinkle 1 cup of the bread crumbs on a baking
sheet and bake 6 to 8 minutes until lightly browned. Allow to cool.
Lightly oil a shallow 3-quart casserole dish and dust with the remaining
1/4 cup of breadcrumbs. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk and
sour cream. Using the large holes of a hand held grater, grate the
turnips and potatoes into the milk and sour cream. Add the chives,
parsley, salt, and pepper and mix until blended. Spoon mixture into a
buttered ovenproof casserole dish and scatter toasted breadcrumbs over
the top. Bake until vegetables are tender and the top lightly browned,
about 1 hour.
Serves 10 to 12. |
