Yellow Turnips and Mashed Potatoes
- 4 Red Bliss potatoes (1 1/2 pounds)
- 1 yellow turnip (about 10 ounces)
- 1 large clove garlic, peeled
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup water
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Peel the potatoes and turnip, and cut them into 2-inch pieces.
Place potatoes and turnips in a saucepan with the garlic, salt and water, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat and boil gently for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. (About 1/2 cup of liquid should remain. If necessary, add a splash of water or stock; or, if too much liquid remains in the pan, remove the lid and quickly boil to reduce.)
