Directions
PREHEAT OVEN TO 375℉ (190℃).
In a bowl, toss together turnips, potatoes, onion with melted butter and place in a 9-inch square, round baking dish or gratin dish/pan.
Cover tightly and place in preheated oven for 30 minutes.
In a small pot on top of the stove combine milk, nutmeg, pepper and salt and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and set aside.
Remove turnip-potato mixture from the oven, remove cover and mix in half the cheese. Taste and adjust seasoning adding salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the milk over the potatoes and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Return to the oven, uncovered, another 20 to 25 minutes.
If the gratin is golden brown, it's ready to serve. If not, preheat broiler. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the dish.
Place gratin under broiler about 3 minutes to brown top before serving.
