Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°. In a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, add 2 tablespoons melted butter, swirling to coat bottom.
Using a knife or mandoline, slice potatoes, rutabaga, and turnip into 1/8-inch-thick rounds. Keeping sliced vegetables together by type, place in skillet. Tuck in garlic among sliced vegetables. Brush vegetables with remaining 3 tablespoons butter; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
