For those Yanks wondering; what Brits call a “swede”, we call a rutabaga. I think I’ve seen a similar dish popular in the American (so called) Midwest states like Minnesota, but combining rutabaga and potatoes isn’t all that common here. Nonetheless it looks delicious- my wife even says so and she was watching over my shoulder without benefit of sound as I had my earbuds in. I think that was a hint to put rutabaga on the shopping list…
Thank u so much for doing something so rare these days. Showing us traditional British cooking with British ingredients. So rare these days and so tasty and so useful for local produce and local farmers ❤
Man Alive.... That looks delicious. I was wondering what to cook for my husband for valentine's day meal. Great hearty dish I've never tasted these ingredients cooked together before,, however I love all those...My husband of 52 years will be well fed later... Thankyou for sorting out our meal for later . Henrietta 😘
Married for 52 years and still willing to try something new to please him? Cooking is a labor of love and your comment says so much about your marriage. 52 years...Bravo!🥰
Bless you my friend @kimquinn This year July will be 53 years. I'm so thankful,for him, he received a kidney transplant during covid,and his health is greatly improved. THANK you for your very kind remark.😘
Thank you Rick for another lovely dish I have never heard of. Growing up in Ireland we had two types of turnips. Sweed turnips commonly known as turnips and white turnips. The white turnip is much smaller and usually added to stews. The sweed turnip was cooked with a large bacon joint (gammon) in the same pan. But boil the bacon for about an hour first before adding the turnip (sweed) boil until cooked serve with boiled potatoes. Cabbage is also cooked in a similar manner with the bacon and served with boiled potatoes. Our national dish. It was only when I went to London I discovered that a sweed is not a turnip it's a sweed and a turnip is small and white. But the Scottish also call a sweed a turnip or nips as in haggis nips and tatties (potatoes) xxx
Liz, you hit the nail on the head - some class British dishes have inspired the world. However, many think everything is bland. I'm with you. Best, Rik
My other half and all her family are Cornish, Her Grand mother taught her how they made Raw Fry, Bacon bits (As a pig was kept each year and fattened til harvest time, then butchered to last through winter)), Onion and potato and swede or turnip, in a large stew pot, Pepper ,Cover with boiling water and slow cook for hours, Serve with fresh BUTTERED crusty bread. Easy and delish. They were too busy as they 7 boys and 7 girls to take care of plus there normal daily tasks. ty for your version too :) xx
Dad finally mastered pasties. Called grandma, got the recipe and started making his own pasties. He would have LOVED this! My childhood was Dad and cottage fries on weekends.
It was 7am, I hadn't slept all night, came across this and just finished eating. I am SO full. It was delicious and I have never seen it before. So so simple. Mine was a lot chunkier, didn't break up, but it was delicious nonetheless. With bread and butter and fried eggs and home made bacon.
My kind of recipes and cooking. Love that you emphasize "it's your choice" I gave up watching main stream TV cooking shows a while back. If I want a restaurant style meal I'll go to a restaurant, at home, I want home cooking.
I once lived with a super health nut girl...constant exercise, every supplement on Earth, raw food fanatic etc. BUT...I quickly learned if I brought bacon home, I had to eat it immediately or hide it, otherwise I got none :) A few simple ingredients...another good one...thanks Rik.
That is some fine eating! I'm in Canada and my family makes something 99% the same but instead of slicing the potatos and rutabaga (our name for swede) we cube them and boil them together as for mashed potatos becausE thats the difference between our recipes, we make a mash. While boiling the potatos and rutabaga (about a 50/50 mix up to 75/25 heavier on the rutabaga) gently fry off the bacon and onions over low heat till the onions are clear and bacon nicely cooked. When the potatoi/rutabaga combo is soft enough to mash, drain it, mash and stir in the onion/bacon combo. Season with salt and generous amounts of black pepper. Its a fantastic side with a pork roast, the two flavours absolutely love each other! Anmd if by some miracle theres any leftover the next morning, fried over with a blob of butter to put a crispy crust on it served with toast and good coffee is an awesome breakfast.
Please clarify the exact type of “bacon” you’re using. Thanks! Chef from NY asking…bacon for us is cured pork belly and swedes are rutabagas. Cheers!!! Def gonna make this.
To be honest when I started working I had respect for the way they cooked and a totally dislike for the arrogance! I have no problem in picking a mop up or getting in the pan wash to give encouragement. Some want fame and power like the sound of their own voice, its unnecessary in a busy kitchen. There is enough chaos going on all around. I can tell you a true story - I was out with my family at a shopping center and there was an earthquake, things shaking about etc. They were all running around us panic everywhere. I said to my wife and son slow down walk, look around you there is nothing falling, no crashing. the windows not falling out. Agreed everything was shaking like crazy. It fell on deaf ears my two ran out with the rest. I walked out! Ha ha ha I worked with the Chinese, mind you apart from all the shouting (too Loud) they were very good at cooking. Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef hahaa, it's very true what you say. Being calm gets things finished better than all the hysterics, although I've never seen a chef pick up a mop! A beer perhaps but no mop 🙃
This reminds me of an old dish from the part of southern Italy where my family came from. It's basically onions, peppers and potatoes cooked the same way, i.e. no added liquid. A lot of people mix in beaten eggs and parmesan type cheese once everything is cooked through and crusty - that's the way we make it. Interesting how good old fashioned cooking is much the same all over!
I’m one of the few people that love Rutabeggar that’s what they call them in America ..especially with hot vinegar sauce .. my family was from Mississippi and North Carolina..But I was actually born in Washington DC do the World war Two resigned in Virginia most of my life but now I’m living in Maryland I have been collecting cookbooks since the 70s..Deep love for all foods and culture which I like about your channel.❤️
My dad many years ago would bring home a jar of hot cherry peppers. I’ve had a hard time finding the exact hot cherry peppers for years probably could order them from Amazon. Not sure, but when I go down the pickle aisle, I’m always looking for them…
My southern mama would make fried potatoes with onion in bacon grease, probably tastes similar, loved it. I also like rutabagas so will add some next time I make fried potatoes.
That extra step that many wouldnt bother with is what takes it to the next level. It is a great thing to, once in awhile, go beyond the norm. Thank you for showing this step. I dont have a little lose bottom tin like that, can i put it in an oven safe serving size dish andvrun under the broiler before topping with the egg?
You had the money shot with the egg yolk Rik, tidy bit of grub Left over roast potatoes and parsnips would work for me as well, great idea there Rik , thanks again.
New sub! The recipe sounds great, and how much effort you put into the description down below really sold me brother! Good food, good content; good job!
Im pleased to have grown up on proper cooking like this! Only 29 but my mum was a great cook. So sad to see others my age who would look down on something like this and insist that British food is bland!
I'm sitting here in North Carolina, USA, a southern boy from waaay back! I feel like im sitting in my neighbor's kitchen, each trying to out do each other's cooking! Anytime you find yourself in "the old north state" you let me know! We'll have us a cookin'!
Greetings from Dublin. That looks soooo tasty. Definitely trying that. Very much enjoying your videos on traditional regional foods Rik. Thanks so much
Ah! I have drifted from cooking programs because they differed so much from country practise. Here is a man who understands British standard culture from years ago. Well done, this is the world I grew up in many years ago!
All your food looks so delicious, and I am sure it is! 15 years ago I had my gall bladder removed, and since then I have not been able to digest fats. It seems the most delicious foods have butter, bacon, cream, every form of dairy, and lots of meat marbling. I have given them all up, but love to watch the Backyard Chef cook them, and describe how wonderful they are. Thanks for the great entertainment. It is almost as great as actually tasting them. Yummmm!
My grandmother used to make mashed potatoes with rutabaga (as we call it here) mixed in. Christmas dinner she'd make it both ways, with and without. Either way delicious. Very underutilized vegetable here in the States.
Without the fancy tin part, althouygh people have been known to use various tin from canned goods, that is a "miner's fry" in parts of the USA. Because your Cornish miners were ALL OVER the world. Mining and frying things.
Hi ya Rick,what a great little recipe 😊 it seems based on " bubble&squeak " but with ideas above its station ❤ Sunday brunch treat this weekend for me and the wife. ( she'll ask for tomatoes and mushrooms) and why not😊 Keep 'em coming mate. Cheers Allan&Family
Looks nice the way you did it. I might like to try it as it sounds really nice. In my Cornish family we did slightly different we cooked the bacon but not as much as you did, then we removed it, and cooked the onion. and removed it. We then placed a layer of potato, then turnip (swede) then bacon then onion and repeated it . the potato was cut thicker than the turnip because it cooks faster. We added a very small bit of boiling water from the kettle perhaps a tablespoon or two. Then cooked it to a sort of thick broth consistency. Served with bread and butter. The potatoes seem more mushy in your version and then you crisped it. It sounds lovely but Raw Fry gets it name because it looks amost uncooked, no crispy bits. Not normally served with an egg. Give it a try my way to as a hearty broth, it is lovely too.
Looks so good! I think the swede is a must have. Not only adds a contrasting flavour but retains a bit more firmness compared to the potatoes, so it adds a nice contrasting texture as well. Also, your voice is so relaxing. I felt myself starting to doze off watching this 😂
Thank God for a man who cooks real food without worrying about using butter, salt, fat, potatoes, cream - all the things we're told are bad for us but which make such a difference to the finished meal!
Thank you for explaining that Swede is the same as rutabaga lol I’m in the USA, I love listening to the accent and different words of our family across the pond! Every recipe I’ve tried is delicious!!! Thank you
I could smell that from here Rik, I’ve not done it that way before but I mix any veg left over with mash potatoes plus corned beef if I’ve got it, & fry it in bacon fat ,brown it on both sides , yum, goes down a treat with egg& brown sauce, . Happy Valentine’s Day Rik ❤️
This recipe got you my subscription. I absolutely love the emphasis on traditional British (Cornish, Welsh, Irish, etc.) dishes! Quite a unique emphasis in my humble opinion. Thank you!
Oh wow, thanks Rik. My tummy was rumbling while watching this - it’s breakfast time in Australia. Guess what we’re having for breakfast?! I love that you’re keeping all the traditional recipes alive. While modern food is great, particularly as food from different cultures amalgamate into our mainstream diet, traditional fare is usually cheap and filling as well as being tasty. Given the current economic climate it’s good to know that we can still feed our families without breaking the bank.
@@BackyardChefDo you know what I’d love to see? Dripping on toast! My Mum & Dad used to tell me how much they enjoyed it when they were young but I’m a bit too young to have eaten it myself at 55 years old. Mum stopped keeping dripping in the 80s when she started using margarine (Why??? 😢🤮). I keep a dripping container in my fridge and use it for roasts, chips, rissoles, etc. but I don’t know how to make good dripping on toast. From memory Mum said that the sediment at the bottom was used for making toast? I know it’s a frightfully simple video but it may make a good ‘short’ if ever you’re looking to do one. Now I’m going to back through all your videos to see if you’ve done a video on making your fat from meats (tallow, lard, schmaltz, etc.). I’d like to make some for baking and for your legendary pastry. 😊
The swede has a slightly peppery flavor of its own, and besides pairing well with the added black pepper it gives a nice color contrast to the potatoes! I may have to try this recipe soon!
Gorgeous presentation of the food. Looks like something you’d see in an upscale restaurant! I’m going to make it this weekend. Thank you for sharing your expertise!
I know what I’m doing with the swede I got at the weekend Rik and Oo doesn’t that egg look so good on top , thank you for another great recipe with good simple ingredients and instructions 👌Amanda xx
That finished dish looks fabulous! Dare I say it looks better than corned beef hash. When I make this lovely dish I'll surely make it with the pie tin as it will most certainly impress my wife and kids! The egg fits perfectly atop the Raw Fry as well. Imagine folks in the US being served this at a restaurant or party. They'd be so impressed!
I loved the presentation of the Cornish fry. Yes, on a busy day you might not have time to do that, but it would be a great idea for an economical, tasty meal for visitors and also to tempt youngsters who may be a bit fussy. Thank you Rick
How does this guy make you smell food and I'm 5,000 Km away?? By his AWESOME recipes!!! Is he married???
😂😂i know I can't stop eating since I found his channel everything looks & smells fantastic
I agree totally, and yes he is married 😢😂
Thank you so much. I am yes. Best, Rik
😅 I could sweat I could smell the bacon! Lol! Then you made that remark!😊
He is Married
Swede in america is a turnip , thankyou sir. My mouth is watering
Thank you. Best, Rik
In Australia swede is yellow and turnip is white. Don't you have both?
We do. Sadly most English people wouldnt have a clue what a vegatable is let alone the difference between a swede and Turnip@@carolyns99
Thank you!
Swede in Cornwall is Turnip!! Grating my teeth hearing him call it swede constantly!!!
For those Yanks wondering; what Brits call a “swede”, we call a rutabaga.

My father who lived in North Eastern Ca, loved this dish
Hahahahaha we called them turnip here in Newfoundland
As a true Cornishman this is the best recipe I’ve seen on this. Can’t wait to try it. Thank you 👌👌
Wow! Thank you 😋 Best, Rik

Looks good, I'm a bubble and squeak man myself, but this looks tasty too and a fried egg on top is the crown of all fried dishes.

I made this today for my wife´s birthday. It is another Backyard Chef winner. It reminds me of corned beef hash, but with bacon instead.
Thank you. Best, Rik

For us North Americans, a swede is a rutabaga, lol. (often mistakenly referred to as a turnip).
Yes! Best, Rik
Was looking for this comment. Thanks!
Exactly!
You are the Bob Ross of cooking. The way you talk is so calming. “Happy trees!” No “ lovely topping,” Well done Sir. I enjoy your posts.
It looks absolutely beautiful. And, the egg is perfect. You just can't beat British food.
Liz, you hit the nail on the head - some class British dishes have inspired the world. However, many think everything is bland. I'm with you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChefPersonally, rather the egg atop; a Rye crisp somewhere.
you absolutely can
Yes, that egg looked like utter perfection!
Maybe Rik will give us egg cooking lessons sometime.
This looks like the greatest hangover breakfast in the universe. This plus a beer. Prost !

@@AnnaGabli en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutabaga
Thank God for a man who cooks real food without worrying about using butter, salt, fat, potatoes, cream - all the things we're told are bad for us but which make such a difference to the finished meal!
Thank you. Yes we have all been conned over the years and most (not all) is nonsense. Best, Rik
If you added beef rather than bacon it would be called a naked pasty.
Fantastic! Thank you for sharing. Best, Rik
make them as well, 'zackly the same.
Definitely a must do……I could smell it all the way through! Thanks for all of your glorious recipes.
Thank you, Wendy. Best, Rik
That looked banging?like a cross between 'bubble and squeak' corned beef hash,bacon hotpot😮from a hungry BIGMICK IN THE UK 🇬🇧
Cheers, Mick - you just made me hungry. Best, Rik
Looks fantastic, gonna give it a go next weekend
Hope you enjoy. Thank you. Best, Rik
Swedes are awkward Buggers much like some Cornish Folk but add a massive amount to the recipe (As do the good people of Cornwall to the wider UK)
Thanks for sharing, Mike. Best, Rik
used to always have this with Runner Beans when growing up.
Oh yes! love beans. Best, Rik
Bacon stovies.
Yes please. Best, Rik
Thank you for explaining that Swede is the same as rutabaga lol I’m in the USA, I love listening to the accent and different words of our family across the pond! Every recipe I’ve tried is delicious!!! Thank you
You are welcome, Hannah. Thank you. Best, Rik
Thanks. Aust here, with my Cornish heritage, I must try this.

Thanks, Tony. Thank you. Best, Rik
Ooh, my word! My mouth is positively slavering at the thought!
Thank you 😋 Best, Rik
I could smell that from here Rik, I’ve not done it that way before but I mix any veg left over with mash potatoes plus corned beef if I’ve got it, & fry it in bacon fat ,brown it on both sides , yum, goes down a treat with egg& brown sauce, . Happy Valentine’s Day Rik ❤️
Wow! Ann you are my type of girl - love the recipe! Happy Valentines day ❤
I just love runny yokes in your resipys... It makes me want to make some now
Thank you. Best, Rik
Gosh I love this guy.Sir I surly enjoyed you cooking. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching. Thank you. Best, Rik
This recipe got you my subscription. I absolutely love the emphasis on traditional British (Cornish, Welsh, Irish, etc.) dishes! Quite a unique emphasis in my humble opinion. Thank you!
Thanks for the sub! Thank you. Best, Rik
Have Happy Valentines day and thanks 🙏 again for your wonderful recipe ❤🎉
Thank you very much. Happy Valentine's Day. ❤Best, Rik
Looks faantastic, breakfast tomorrow. Thank you for going to the trouble to make the video. From Missouri USA
Hope you enjoy. Thank you, very polite, Jack. Best, Rik
Oh wow, thanks Rik. My tummy was rumbling while watching this - it’s breakfast time in Australia. Guess what we’re having for breakfast?! I love that you’re keeping all the traditional recipes alive. While modern food is great, particularly as food from different cultures amalgamate into our mainstream diet, traditional fare is usually cheap and filling as well as being tasty. Given the current economic climate it’s good to know that we can still feed our families without breaking the bank.
Now that I agree with! Feeding properly without the ridiculous expense. Thank you very much. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChefDo you know what I’d love to see? Dripping on toast! My Mum & Dad used to tell me how much they enjoyed it when they were young but I’m a bit too young to have eaten it myself at 55 years old. Mum stopped keeping dripping in the 80s when she started using margarine (Why??? 😢🤮). I keep a dripping container in my fridge and use it for roasts, chips, rissoles, etc. but I don’t know how to make good dripping on toast. From memory Mum said that the sediment at the bottom was used for making toast? I know it’s a frightfully simple video but it may make a good ‘short’ if ever you’re looking to do one. Now I’m going to back through all your videos to see if you’ve done a video on making your fat from meats (tallow, lard, schmaltz, etc.). I’d like to make some for baking and for your legendary pastry. 😊
Thank you. Great suggestion Will try to squeeze in that. Best, Rik@@danielleshelbourne220
The swede has a slightly peppery flavor of its own, and besides pairing well with the added black pepper it gives a nice color contrast to the potatoes! I may have to try this recipe soon!
Sounds like a plan. Besst, Rik
Love the idea of an individual serving using the cake tin
Posh nosh! Thank you. Best, Rik
Watching a Master Chef Rik marathon ……🎉❤🎉
Thank you. Best, Rik
Thanks for introducing us to another great recipe Rik. Loving it as always!
A tasty one, Eric. Thanks mate. Best, Rik
Excellent-looks amazing and you make the cooking smooth and effortless. Nice pace of showing your cooking methods.
Wow! Thank you. Best, Rik
Gorgeous presentation of the food. Looks like something you’d see in an upscale restaurant! I’m going to make it this weekend. Thank you for sharing your expertise!
Hope you enjoy. Thank you. Best, Rik
Brilliant, I'm reminded of a pastry less pasty come bubble 'n' squeak. Can imagine 🤔 this with cold meats and pickles 😋😋.
Sounds great! Thank you. Best, Rik
Thank you very much! What a thing of beauty.
Thank you. Best, Rik
I know what I’m doing with the swede I got at the weekend Rik and Oo doesn’t that egg look so good on top , thank you for another great recipe with good simple ingredients and instructions 👌Amanda xx
You are so welcome. Thank you. Best, Rik
That finished dish looks fabulous! Dare I say it looks better than corned beef hash. When I make this lovely dish I'll surely make it with the pie tin as it will most certainly impress my wife and kids! The egg fits perfectly atop the Raw Fry as well. Imagine folks in the US being served this at a restaurant or party. They'd be so impressed!
Thank you. Best, Rik
All students / youngsters should learn Rik's recipes.
Well done Rik.
Wow. Thank you. Best, Rik
Oh my goodness, that is brilliant! I’m shopping tomorrow, and I just put swede on the list!👍🙏
Thank you. Best, Rik
I loved the presentation of the Cornish fry. Yes, on a busy day you might not have time to do that, but it would be a great idea for an economical, tasty meal for visitors and also to tempt youngsters who may be a bit fussy. Thank you Rick
Thank you, Graham. Best, Rik
I love his cute overhand eating. My hubby sometimes does the same. This fry looks delish!
Thank you 😋Best, Rik
