I love Atkins. . .I love Atkins . . I think I like turnip hash browns better than potatoe ones. . .never have been overly fond of potatoes. . .redawn

Turnips are great! Get the little ones...I lucked into getting the little ones my first time. Love 'em!

I love them too! Very close in texture to potatoes.

Is there a recipe for those? I would love to try it! Thanks!

I'm growing some turnips and I'm looking forward to this spring when they should be about ready!

I would love this recipe....too..

I've never had turnips, wasn't even sure what they looked like LOL!
I looked them up and next time I go to the store I will try, I'm about cauliflowered out

am in the same boat as solamander. but please do post the recipe. i want to try this one and im sure i can trick my kids into thinking they are potatoes.

The recipe is posted in the Breakfast Ideas section of our Kitchen forums. HomeFries / Hash Browns. Be sure to read through the thread .. there are LOTS of great variations and ideas!!

I saw a recipe for fries using turnips also. Has anybody tried? I'm wondering if you can actually deep fry them in a pan?

Yes the turnip fries are awesome and I think you could deep fry them, don't see why not, they are firm enough, go for it. Although you won't get the herbs maybe?

Rutabegas are slightly higher in carbs then turnips. While my carb counte rlists them as equal, fitday states 1/4 cup rutabegas = 1/2 cup turnips.

I prefer the zucchini hashbrowns. I have used turnips as french fry subs, and in stews or with roasts

I took some Turnip and Rutabega and sliced them up and deep fried them. I was hoping for something like potato chips but they really didn't crisp up. They were still good but they were more like a fried potato than a chip. THe rutabegas are a lot like turnips but they taste sweeter.

For those that have not seen a turnip, it is a root vegetable and it is purple on top and white on the bottom.
