Ingredients

  • 4 large russet Idaho® potatoes sliced thin, approximately ⅛ inch
  • 3 red Idaho® potatoes sliced thin, approximately ⅛ inch
  • 2 sweet potatoes sliced thin, approximately ⅛ inch
  • 3 turnips sliced thin, approximately ⅛ inch
  • ½ tablespoon butter
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 garlic cloves diced
  • 2 packages of whipped chive cream cheese
  • 16 oz. heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoon of salt more to taste
  • Grated Parmesan cheese and diced chives for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400° F.
  • Slice the potatoes and turnips and set aside in a large bowl.
  • In a medium, non-stick skillet, heat 1/2 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions and garlic, saute until translucent.
  • Add the cream cheese, heavy cream, salt and pepper to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and stir until smooth.
  • Turn off heat.
  • Spray a 9x13 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Put half of the sliced potatoes and sliced turnips into a separate large bowl.
  • Slowly add ⅓ the cream mixture into the bowl with the potatoes and turnips until coated well.
  • Using your hands place the coated potato and turnip slices into the baking pan, vertically, making sure the slices are close together.
  • Add another ⅓ of the cream mixture to the remaining potatoes and turnips, coat well. Layer them into the baking dish.
  • Once all the slices are in the baking pan, pour the remainder of cream mixture into the baking pan.
  • Cover the pan with aluminum foil and place in the oven for 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes remove the foil and bake for an additional 40 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, sprinkle on Parmesan cheese and bake for an additional 15 - 20 minutes. Sprinkle on chives right before serving if desired.
  • Enjoy!
