Clapshot

I had 5 turnips to get rid of, in my final week before a new box of produce comes my way. I seemed to remember turnips being combined with potatoes, so I went looking for a recipe. Boy, did I win with this one.

Clapshot

Recipe By:Grant

"This is a very Scottish dish to be served as a vegetable dish or as an accompaniment to haggis, beef, pork, lamb, or game."

Ingredients

1 pound baking potatoes, peeled and cubed
3/4 pound turnips, peeled and cubed
1/4 pound carrots, peeled and cubed

1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, cubed
3 tablespoons heavy cream

Directions

Place the potatoes, turnips, carrots, and salt in a Dutch oven, fill with water to cover the vegetables and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-high and boil the vegetables until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and mash the vegetables with a potato masher. Spoon the mashed vegetables into a serving dish, top with cubes of butter and drizzle with cream.

This is angel. I added about a half cup of grated cheddar cheese and baked it in the oven for about 15 minutes, I found another article that actually mentions this exact thing, so I was right on the ball with the addition of the cheese.

Personally, I think it came out outstanding...but Hubby tried a tiny bit of it and thought they came out bland. My son didn't touch it at all. Oh well.
