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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
