Tatties and neeps. MY version.

My version of tatties and neeps has little to do with ACTUAL tatties and neeps, except that it is made out of potatoes and turnips. Which, I admit, is a pretty big similarity. However, other than that, I went in another direction.

Scottish tatties and neeps is mashed-up potatoes and YELLOW turnips -- aka swedes, aka rutabagas. Then you add butter and nutmeg and ginger. However, mine was PURPLE-top turnips and cheese.

I took approximately the same volume of purple-top and potatoes, and a white onion, and boiled them all for, like, an hour. Then I threw them into the Kitchenaid with a half-stick of butter, and a bunch of cheese, and blended it up.

It is good.

Yeah, but you're cheating. Add enough cheese and butter to anything and it starts to be edible.

I was gonna say: Starch, butter, and cheese? Hard to go wrong. Try it with library paste, it'll probably still be all right.

Rutabagas have purple tops too, frequently. It's their flesh that is yellow.
