Steps:
- Fill a large pan with cold water, add a good pinch of sea salt and put it on a high heat. Peel 1 large swede (roughly 1kg), and cut it into 2cm chunks. Once the water is boiling, add the swede and cook for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, peel 1kg of potatoes and cut them into 2.5cm chunks. When the 15 minutes is up, add the potatoes and cook for a further 10 to 15 minutes, or until everything is soft and cooked through. Drain, leave to steam dry for a minute, then mash with a good pinch of salt and white pepper and a knob of butter.

Steps:
- The day before you want to serve, preheat the oven to fan oven 200C/conventional 220C/gas 7. Put the potatoes into a pan of lightly salted water, return to the boil and cook for 5 minutes. Drain the potatoes, put them back into the pan and place it back on the heat for a couple of minutes to dry out.
- Meanwhile, pour the oil into a large roasting tin (you may have to use two) and heat it in the oven until smoking hot. Now stir the potatoes into the hot oil and return to the oven to roast, turning occasionally, for 55 minutes.
- Cook the swede in boiling salted water for 50-55 minutes, or until very soft. Drain and add to the roasted potatoes. Roughly mash everything together, keeping quite chunky, then cool, cover and keep in a cool place.
- To serve, preheat the oven to fan 180C/conventional 200C/gas 6. Uncover the potatoes and swede, dot with the butter and put in the oven to reheat for 25-30 minutes, stirring now and again until piping hot. Serve with lots of butter.

NEEPS AND TATTIES
When we went over to Edinburgh for Hogmanay, our friends made this for us, along with a slice of haggis! This is a traditional Scottish side dish, and goes well with a beef roast or chicken. It is also a great way to use an often overlooked vegetable: the swede (aka the yellow turnip, the rutabaga, or the Swedish turnip).

NEEPS AN'TATTIES
Very good, I have substituted rutabegas for the turnip,many times, white turnip is not always available. My kids loved these as babbies and older,(omit chives/shallots for babbies). As a matter of interest, a rutabega is not a turnip nor is a turnip a rutabega. they are two different veggies often mistaken as the same. A turnip is white with a purple top and rutabega is yellow with a browish purple top, they each have their own flavour. (I believe a "sweede" is a rutabega)

HAGGIS, NEEPS & TATTIES
Enjoy a traditional Scottish meal of haggis, neeps and tatties - it's perfect for any Burns Night dinner or simply when you fancy something comforting

Steps:
- Heat the haggis following pack instructions. When the haggis has 30 mins cooking time remaining, tip the potatoes into a large pan of generously salted cold water, then bring to the boil over a medium heat and cook for 10-12 mins until very tender when pierced with a fork. Drain well and leave to steam-dry in the colander for 10 mins.
- Add half the milk and two-thirds of the butter to the pan used to cook the potatoes, and warm over a low heat until the butter is melted and the milk is just steaming. Remove from the heat and return the potatoes to a pan, then use a potato masher to mash everything together. Or, pass the potatoes through a medium sieve into the pan in batches using the back of a spoon or ladle. (Using a sieve will give you a very fine, no-lump texture.) Season well with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, cook the swede and carrots in a pan of boiling water for 18-20 mins until very tender when pierced with a fork. Drain well and leave to steam-dry in the colander for 10 mins. Return the vegetables to the pan along with the remaining milk and butter, then coarsely mash using a potato masher - you don't want a smooth texture here. Season well. Serve the haggis with the neeps and tatties alongside.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Maris Piper or Desiree, hold their shape well and are less likely to break down during cooking.
- Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
- Parboil the potatoes before roasting: This will help them cook through more quickly and evenly.
- Toss the potatoes with oil and seasoning before roasting: This will help them crisp up and brown.
- Roast the potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them get crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
- Serve the potatoes immediately: They are best eaten hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Neeps and tatties is a classic Scottish dish that is both simple to make and delicious to eat. The turnips and potatoes are roasted until they are tender and slightly caramelized, and the addition of butter, salt, and pepper brings out their natural flavors. This dish is a great way to warm up on a cold winter day, and it is also a perfect side dish for roasted meats or poultry.
