Ingredients

• 500 grams Potatoes
• 500 grams Turnips or Swede
• 50 grams Unsalted Butter
• 100 milliliters Heavy Cream
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and turnips/swede, then chop them into evenly sized chunks to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Place the potatoes and turnips/swede into separate pots of salted boiling water. Cook both until tender, approximately 15-20 minutes. Check doneness by piercing with a fork – it should slide through easily.

Step 3

Drain both pots thoroughly, allowing any excess moisture to evaporate for a few minutes.

Step 4

Mash the potatoes and turnips/swede together in a large bowl using a potato masher or a ricer for a smooth texture.

Step 5

Warm the butter and heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat until the butter has fully melted.

Step 6

Add the butter-cream mixture to the mashed vegetables, and season with salt and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the mash is creamy and well combined.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. For an optional garnish, sprinkle chopped fresh chives over the top before serving.

Step 8

Serve hot alongside haggis, roasted meats, or enjoy on its own as a comforting side dish.
