Keto Turnip Hash Browns

Keto Turnip Hash Browns are an excellent alternative to potato-style hash browns. They are simple and easy to make and cook. A fresh turnip is peeled and then grated on a box grater. The shreds combined with an egg and kosher salt result in a nice batter. The batter is then dolloped into a pan coated in a nice layer of avocado oil so the hash browns can get nicely browned and crispy on the outside. The batter is an excellent base in which to add different spices or seasonings, even cheese. Of course, you can top the hash browns with any variety of ingredients like sour cream, yogurt, fresh herbs, or eggs.

Can I use something other than turnips?

Yes, feel free to use daikon radish or red radishes. You can use other root vegetables like rutabaga or parsnips, but the net carbs will be higher. You can create your recipe in Carb Manager to calculate the calories.

What kind of toppings can I add?

To help add more fats to your diet, you can add a large dollop of sour cream or full-fat yogurt can be added on top of the hash browns with a sprinkling of fresh herbs. Feel free to add a sunny-side-up egg for added protein.

What can I use to squeeze out the water from the turnip shreds?

Please use a lint-free towel or cheesecloth as a tool to remove as much water from the turnip shreds as possible. The drier the shreds, the crisper the ending hash browns will be. Feel free to prep the shreds, add the salt a day ahead, and then place the shreds in a strainer over a bowl. The salt will help draw the moisture out. Then on the day of giving everything a good squeeze in a towel.
