Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Turnips
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 0.33 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives
Instructions
Peel the turnips and cut them into evenly sized cubes to ensure even cooking.
Place the turnip cubes into a large pot and fill with enough water to cover them by at least an inch.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the turnips are fork-tender.
Drain the turnips thoroughly, and return them to the pot.
Add the butter, heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the pot with the turnips.
Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, mash the turnips until smooth and creamy. Adjust consistency with more heavy cream, if necessary.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
Garnish with chopped chives before serving.
Serve hot as a delicious side dish.
