Mashed Turnips and Potatoes
Ingredients
½ pound turnips, peeled and diced
1 pound potatoes, peeled and cubed
¼ cup light sour cream or buttermilk (see Notes)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- Rinse or scrub fresh vegetables under running water before preparing.
- Boil turnips and potatoes in enough water to cover until tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Drain vegetables and mash.
- Stir in sour cream, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Serve hot.
- Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
Notes
- Try with parsnips instead of turnips.
- No buttermilk? Place 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar in a measuring cup and fill to the 1 cup line with milk. Stir and let set to thicken slightly.
- Try adding chopped and sautéed turnip greens in step 3.

Doubled this recipe using 1/4 cup of both light sour cream and buttermilk as I couldn't decide which to use. Turned out great and everyone loved it!
