Mashed Potatoes and Turnips

If this simple, savory (and low-fat) mash is not in your repertory, be sure to give it a try. Steaming retains the turnips’ and potatoes’ sweetness and flavor and does not waterlog the vegetables as boiling may. Buttermilk adds its special tartness and moistens the puree. And, thanks to turnips’ juiciness, the dish reheats well in a microwave, unlike plain mashed potatoes.
