Preparation
- Step 1
In a medium pot over high heat, combine the turnips, potatoes and enough cold water to just cover and bring to a boil. Boil until the turnips and potatoes are very soft, about 30 minutes. Drain the water, leaving the turnips and potatoes in the pot; mash with a potato masher until smooth. (The mixture will be very wet.) Lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches the consistency of mashed potatoes, about 40 minutes. Pass the mixture through a sieve into a bowl and stir in the butter. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

Lovely side dish. I did not feel the need to put the mixture through a sieve. I liked the texture, which was pretty smooth, without it. I think I might add a bit more turnip to the mixture but I like turnips and mine were mild.
I served 8 as a side dish. On what planet does 6 pounds of vegetables serve only 4 people? Dang.
This was a fine side dish. My wife enjoyed it and couldn't even tell there were turnips mixed with the potatoes. I used a food mill with a coarse plate instead of a sieve and the texture was fine.
