Potato and Turnip Purée

Homemakers Best Tested
By
Andrew Chase
This delicious blend of potatoes and white turnips can replace the mashed potatoes on your holiday table. They have a finer consistency and are more moist than regular mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

2 lbs  (1 kg)  potatoes, peeled and quartered
2 lbs  (1 kg)  white turnips, peeled and quartered
1 white onion, chopped
1 tsp  (5 mL)  salt (approx)
1/3 cup  (75 mL)  10% cream, heated
2 tbsp  (30 mL)  butter
1/4 tsp  (1 mL)  white pepper

Preparation

Place potatoes, turnips and onion in saucepan; add enough water to just cover vegetables. Season with salt. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer, covered, until tender, 25 to 30 minutes.

Drain and return to pan; cook over low heat, shaking pan, for 2 to 3 minutes. Put vegetables through food mill or potato ricer, or push through fine sieve; return to saucepan. Stir in cream and butter; cook, stirring, over medium-low heat until hot and enough liquid evaporates that purée can hold its shape, about 5 minutes. Stir in pepper. Season with salt to taste.

Makes 8 to 10 servings.
