Punchnep

A welsh dish which combines potatoes and turnips to make a delicious buttery puree which is amazing served with ham or other cold meats.

  1. Peel the potatoes and cut into large chunks
  2. Peel the turnips and cut into large chunks
  3. Boil the potatoes and turnips in separate saucepans until tender, probably around 20-30 minutes
  4. Drain well and mash them separately, using half the butter in each (it is important to not mix the potato and turnip until each has been mashed separately)
  5. Combine the mashed turnip and mashed potatoes, season with salt and pepper to taste and beat thoroughly.
  6. Make several holes in the puree with the end of a wooden spoon then pour the cream into the holes
  7. Serve very hot,
