Anyone tried this yet with turnips or parsnips? I notice that even though they look like they’d cook like a potato, they seem to be a little juicy/watery.
Tried this last night- sooo yummy!!
These were delicious! And they made me wonder why people think they can’t live without french fries made from potatoes. Awesome.
