Turnip Mashed Potatoes image

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...)

MASHED POTATOES WITH TURNIPS AND BACON



Mashed Potatoes With Turnips and Bacon image

Are you sure you don't like turnips? This recipe might change your mind. If you are positive, you could substitute diced carrots, parsnips or celery root but you will need to increase the butter to 4 tablespoons. This is another December, 2007, Cook's Illustrated magazine recipe and the point stressed was to always rinse your peeled, sliced potatoes 3-4 times under cold running water to remove starch. There, I've told you. ;-) Now on with the show ...

Provided by SusieQusie

Categories     Pork

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 ounces bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

MASHED TURNIPS AND POTATOES WITH TURNIP GREENS



Mashed Turnips and Potatoes With Turnip Greens image

This is inspired by colcannon, an Irish mix of mashed potatoes and kale or cabbage. This lightened version is a mixture of two-thirds turnips and one-third potatoes, with the turnip greens stirred in at the end.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     side dish

Time 1h

Yield Serves 4 to 6 as a side dish

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 bunches turnips with greens attached (1 3/4 to 2 pounds, including greens)
1 pound russet or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
Salt to taste
1 to 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 leek, white and light green parts only, finely chopped
2/3 cup low-fat milk, or as needed
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Cut away the greens from the turnips. Peel the turnips and quarter if they're large; cut in half if they're small. Stem the greens and wash in 2 changes of water. Discard the stems.
  • Combine the turnips and potatoes in a steamer set above 2 inches of boiling water. Steam until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the steamer and transfer to a bowl. Cover the bowl tightly and leave for 5 to 10 minutes so that the vegetables continue to steam and dry out.
  • Fill the bottom of the steamer with water and bring to a boil. Add salt to taste and add the greens. Blanch for 2 to 4 minutes, until tender. Transfer to a bowl of cold water using a slotted spoon or skimmer, then drain and squeeze out excess water. Chop fine. Drain the water from the saucepan, rinse and dry.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in the saucepan and add the leek and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until leeks are tender and translucent but not colored. Add the milk to the saucepan, bring to a simmer and remove from the heat.
  • Using a potato masher, a fork or a standing mixer fitted with the paddle, mash the potatoes and turnips while still hot. Add the turnip greens and combine well. Beat in the hot milk and the additional tablespoon of olive oil if desired, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve hot, right away, or transfer to a buttered or oiled baking dish and heat through in a low oven when ready to serve.

SIMPLE BRAISED POTATOES



Simple Braised Potatoes image

One doesn't usually think of braising as a technique for cooking potatoes, but one should. It's so easy, and yields the same comfort quotient of the mashed sort without all of the peeling, boiling and mashing. Onion, garlic and your choice of thyme or rosemary give them a little oomph. As with all potato dishes, don't forget to season well with salt.
