Recipe: Au Gratin Turnips and Potatoes (using Swiss cheese)

AU GRATIN TURNIPS AND POTATOES

4 cups sliced turnips and potatoes (any combination,) peeled and thinly sliced
1 medium onion, peeled and finely sliced,
2 tbsp butter, melted
1/2 cup milk
1/4 tsp grated nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground white pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup grated Swiss cheese

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Toss together turnips, potatoes, onion with melted butter and place in a 9-inch square or round baking dish.

Cover tightly and bake for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small pot on top of the stove combine milk, nutmeg, pepper and salt and bring to a boil. Immediately remove from heat.

Remove turnip-potato mixture from the oven, remove cover and mix in half the cheese. Pour the milk over the potatoes and sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Continue baking, uncovered, for another 20 to 25 minutes. If the gratin is golden brown, it's ready to serve. If not, preheat broiler. Place gratin under broiler about 3 minutes to brown top before serving.
