These crispy fried turnips are a great alternative to fried potatoes. I used a small white turnip(about 6) and diced them into 1/2 inch cubes.

Ingredients

2 cups turnips, diced
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 t dried parsley
1/2 salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Dice the turnips into 1/2 inch cubes.
Combine parsley, salt, garlic powder, paprika, rosemary and black pepper in a zipper bag.
Add in the diced turnips and 1/2 tablespoon of the vegetable oil and shake.
Heat the other 1 1/2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in an iron skillet over medium heat. If cooking with gas or propane, you may need to lower the heat.
Add in the turnips and arrange so they are flat in the skillet.
Cover with a lid and cook for about 10 minutes.
Uncover the lid and toss the turnips around on the other side and cook uncovered for another 5 minutes until golden brown on most sides. Note: Turnips do not take as long to cook as potatoes.
