Neeps and Tatties
Aunt Kate
used to say that neeps and tatties can be served with roasted Chicken, turkey,
roast beef, or any meat dish during the week or for Sunday Dinner. When I first
heard the title of this recipe I was like, Neeps and tatties? What is that, it
sounds nasty, but in fact, it is delicious. So have an open mind and palette for
it. Try it and then tell me if you don’t like it, but I bet you’ll say you love
it as much as I do. It is a Scottish side dish that is loved by most citizens
of the UK and Ireland.
Ingredients:
1-1/2 lbs medium
potatoes cubed
1-1/2 lbs turnip
cubed
2 tbsp salted
butter cubed
3 cups of
water each pot
1/2 cup milk
or heavy cream your choice
Salt and
Pepper to taste
Directions
Peel and chop
the potatoes and Turnips into 2-3cm cubes. Put the turnips in a large pan and
cover with cold, salted water, then bring to the boil over a medium-high heat
for 15 minutes. Lower the heat slightly and cook for an additional 10 mins,
then add the potatoes. Boil for another 15 mins or until the potato is just
tender, then drain well in a colander. Allow to steam-dry for a few minutes
before transferring back to the pan and mashing with the butter and plenty of
seasoning. Serve with additional butter on top or top with gravy of choice.
Enjoy
