Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds turnips
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Wash and peel the turnips. Remove the ends and cut the turnips into quarters.
  • Add the turnips to a pot and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil, cooking the turnips for about 35 minutes or until easily pierced with a fork.
  • Drain the liquid from the pot and turn off the heat. Add the cream, cream cheese, and sour cream.
  • Use a potato masher to mash the turnips. For a smoother consistency, use an immersion blender to mash the turnips.

Notes

The larger turnips are, the more bitter they are. Choose smaller turnips for a sweeter flavor.
