A few years ago my grandma taught me to add turnips to my mashed potatoes. I was reluctant at first, being the traditional mashed potato loyalist that I am, but she quickly changed my mind and now this is my absolute favorite way to prepare mashed potatoes. The turnips add a subtly sweet and nutty flavor to the potatoes that is oh so delicious!
