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.

- Drain vegetables and mash.
- Stir in sour cream, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Serve hot.

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!
