Winter Vegetable Cakes with Sautéed Apples

These delicious pan-fried patties are made with four different root vegetables. For a smokier flavor, use white turnips in place of the rutabaga.

1/2 pound	sweet potatoes, peeled
2	parnips, peeled
1/2 pound	rutabaga, peeled
1	medium red onion

1. Grate potatoes, sweet potatoes, parsnips, rutabaga and onion on large hole of box grater or in food processor. Transfer to medium bowl.
