Garlic Mashed Potatoes And Turnips Recipes

TURNIP MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Slice potatoes and turnips 1/4-inch thick. Cook in boiling water for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain.
• Whip cooked potatoes and turnips with electric mixer, mixing until moderately smooth (don't overbeat them; a few lumps are nice).
• Add hot cream, butter and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Whip again until blended.
• Adjust thickness by adding more cream, if desired.

GARLIC-TURNIP MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes, turnips, parsnip, and garlic in a medium saucepan; add enough half-and-half to cover. Place over medium high heat and cook until vegetables are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain, reserving cooking liquid.
• Return vegetables to saucepan and add egg, butter, and 1/4 cup cooking liquid. Using a potato masher, mash until smooth, adding more cooking liquid as necessary. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper and serve immediately.

MUSTARDY MASHED TURNIPS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the turnips and potatoes in a medium saucepot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until the vegetables are tender and meet no resistance when pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes.
• Drain well. Whip in a large bowl using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until well blended. Add the sour cream, mustard and butter and continue to whip on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the parsley and top with a pat of butter.

MASHED GARLIC TURNIPS

Steps:

• Place the turnips and the garlic in a saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.
• Add water to fill about halfway, cover, and place over medium-high heat.
• Bring to a boil, turn down the burner, and simmer until quite soft (about 15 minutes).
• Drain the turnips and garlic very well.
• Using a potato masher, mash the turnips and garlic together.
• Stir in the butter, horseradish, salt, pepper, and nutmeg, and mix well.
• Just before serving, stir in the chives.
• Each serving has 10 grams of carbohydrates and 2 grams of fiber, for a total of 8 grams of usable carbs and 2 grams of protein.
