Creamy Mashed Potatoes With A Turnip Purée

1. 1

   In a medium saucepan, combine turnip, butter, milk, and thyme over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil over and then simmer, partially covered, for twenty-five minutes.

2. 2

   Remove thyme. Using an immersion blender (or a food processor), puree the mixture. Return mixture to pan (if using a food processor), and keep warm.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, place potatoes in a large, heavy-bottomed pot, covered by at least 1 inch of salted water. Bring to a rolling boil, then simmer until potatoes can be pierced cleanly by a fork (10-15 minutes.) Drain in a colander, then mash completely in a bowl.

4. 4

   Add mashed potatoes into the saucepan with the turnip puree. Raise heat to medium and, stirring, warm potatoes completely through.

5. 5

   Lower heat to medium-low. Add grated cheese; stir until melted. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
