This is a parsnip and turnip gratin, with gruyere cheese and those are bits of roasted panko crumbs on top. It was like a slightly sweeter potato gratin.The weekend before, (or was it after?) I tried frying sweet potatoes to make them more enjoyable. They turned out pretty well:
Basically what I was using was the forth side of a four-sided cheese grater. You know that one side that is sort of a slicer? That's what I used for all of this. Well, it's so awkward that I eventually injured both thumbs and my right middle finger, all on the tip, in a 10 day period. So I decided to finally break down and get what is called a mandoline, basically a more professional veggie slicer. And with said slicer, I was able to breeze through two pounds of beets for pickled beets:
And one really huge sweet potato for the best chips yet:
Oh man, and can I say, using the fry daddy outside is the only option unless you want the house smelling like a McDonald's.
