½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon pepper
2 Tablespoons flour
1 ⅓ cups nonfat or 1% milk
2 ⅓ cups potatoes, sliced thinly

¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
4 teaspoons butter or margarine
2 Tablespoons dry bread crumbs
Directions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, sauté onions in 1 Tablespoon margarine until softened.

- Pour sauce over the potato mixture; sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
- Melt 2 teaspoons butter; mix with the dry bread crumbs and sprinkle evenly over top.

Notes
- Try making with sliced parsnips instead of turnips.

WOW! Just saw this featured in the Oregon Harvest for Schools video for turnips and it looks sooooo good I had to try it. SUCH an easy recipe, so fast to prep and it lived up to the video and tasted amazing. I didn't have turnips so I only used potatoes, and also I had to try a different cheese as we were out of Parm. All good and the leftovers tasted even more flavorful!
