Turnip Fries
"Crisp cornmeal and buttermilk crust surrounds tender sliced turnips, making for a fantastic alternative to French fries. Take care when cutting the peeled turnips into ½-inch slices: it’s important to cut them as evenly as possible so they cook through at the same rate. You can cut them a day ahead of time and cover with a damp paper towel in the refrigerator. You can also make the cornmeal mixture ahead. This recipe requires shallow frying. Test to make sure the oil is ready by dropping in one turnip to fry first: the oil should bubble up and the test fry should be finished in about 5 minutes...."
