Turnip Mashed Potatoes

Stacky5's Note:

This is a recipe that I saw Paula Deen make on the Food Network. I love turnips but know of very few ways to cook them. This is super easy and tastes really rich and good! (NOTE: This is the original recipe, but when I make this I peel the potatoes instead of leaving the skins on...)

• Total Time: 30 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 8

• 6 large red new potatoes, skin on
• 2 large turnips, peeled
• 1/2 cup heavy cream, heated
• 8 tablespoons butter, melted (1 stick)
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• salt and pepper

Directions:

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