Best Gruyere Turnip Mashed Potatoes Recipes

NANA'S MASHED TURNIP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place turnip and potatoes in a large pot with enough water to cover, and bring to a boil. Cook 25 to 30 minutes, until tender. Remove from heat, and drain.
• Mix milk, 2 tablespoons butter, and sugar with the turnip and potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Mash until slightly lumpy.
• Transfer turnip mixture to a small baking dish. Dot with remaining butter. Cover loosely, and bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove cover, and continue baking about 8 minutes, until lightly browned.

TURNIP MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Slice potatoes and turnips 1/4-inch thick. Cook in boiling water for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain.
• Whip cooked potatoes and turnips with electric mixer, mixing until moderately smooth (don't overbeat them; a few lumps are nice).
• Add hot cream, butter and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Whip again until blended.
• Adjust thickness by adding more cream, if desired.

GRUYERE MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Wash the potatoes and cut into 1" cubes. (You can leave the peel on if desired or peel half of the potatoes. The potato peel gives it a rustic texture, so yummy)
• Place the potatoes in a pot and cover with hot water, add 2 teaspoons of salt, and bring to a boil.
• Cooking on medium heat, boil potatoes for 20-30 minutes or until the potato is soft but not mushy. You'll know it has cooked long enough when you stick a fork in the potato and the potato doesn't stay on the fork when you lift it.
• Drain the water off the potatoes. Add the potatoes to the pot again and add the remaining ingredients.
• Mash potatoes with a hand masher or an electric mixer ( if you plan to use an electric mixer, don't overmix the potatoes or they will have a gluey texture-use a low speed and only until the potatoes are mashed enough) You can add a pat of butter and chopped parsley for garnish. Enjoy!

MUSTARDY MASHED TURNIPS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the turnips and potatoes in a medium saucepot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until the vegetables are tender and meet no resistance when pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes.
• Drain well. Whip in a large bowl using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until well blended. Add the sour cream, mustard and butter and continue to whip on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the parsley and top with a pat of butter.

TURNIP GRUYERE GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°.
• Place turnips in a large saucepan, and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Add potatoes to pan, and simmer for 8 minutes or until potatoes are almost tender.
• Drain. Sprinkle turnips and potatoes evenly with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and arrange slices in an 11 x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.
• Combine 1/4 cup milk, flour, and 1/4 teaspoon thyme in a medium saucepan, and stir with a whisk until well blended. Gradually add remaining 3/4 cup milk, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Stir in remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
• Cook over medium heat for 7 minutes or until thick, stirring frequently. Remove from heat, and add Gruyère cheese, stirring until smooth. Pour cheese mixture over turnip and potato slices, and toss gently.
• Combine seasoned breadcrumbs and butter; sprinkle over turnip mixture. Bake at 425° for 15 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Serve immediately.

MASHED POTATO AND TURNIP GRATIN

Steps:

• Butter 11x7x2-inch glass or ceramic baking dish. Cook potatoes and turnips in heavy large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 35 minutes. Drain. Cool vegetables slightly and peel. Cut into large chunks; place in food processor. Add butter and process until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl occasionally. Add 1/4 cup cheese and pinch of ground nutmeg; blend briefly. Season puree to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon into prepared dish. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese. (Gratin can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Bake gratin uncovered until vegetables are hot and top is golden, about 25 minutes.
