Turnips For Breakfast

     Turnip hash.  I've made it before and I'll probably make it again.  It's a little more work than fried rice or the potato version, since turnips need to be peeled, but it's tasty and it makes a nice change.  Today's was simplified, four strips of Hatch chili bacon,* a large turnip (diced) seasoned with a little paprika and dried onion flakes, and four eggs, plus some parsley and truffle powder at the end.

     Tam has hers with hot sauce.  I sprinkled mine with grated Cotija cheese.  Either way, it was good.  Turnip made this way cooks up a little softer than potato, with a mildly spicy flavor.

     Anything you can make with potatoes can be made with turnips instead.  They have a little more flavor, but do just as well with the usual seasonings as any spud.
