I would not substitute potatoes. It would change the dish too much as
well as being blatantly out of period. I have never had a problem finding
turnips regardless of the time of year. They may be a bit more expensive,
yes. However, when compared to the cost of meat they are very reasonable.
If I have to choose between using potatoes and doing something else, I
would do something else before I would use potatoes.
