Mashed Potatoes & Turnips

Makes 6 Servings

Ingredients

  • One 2 ½ pound turnip
  • 2 medium while potatoes (about 1 pound)
  • 1/4 cup 1% lowfat milk
  • 1/4 cup lowfat sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Pinch nutmeg

Directions

  1. Peel the turnip. Cut in half and then slice each half again to yield four pieces. Cut each long piece into ¼-inch slices. Peel the potatoes. Cut in half lengthwise and then cut into ½-inch half-moon slices.
  2. Place the turnip and potatoes in a large saucepan. Add enough water to cover (you can add about 1 teaspoon of salt to the water if desired). Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook, covered, at a low boil until tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and drain.
  3. Place back in the saucepan along with the milk, sour cream, butter, salt and nutmeg. Mash with a potato masher until smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
