A couple notes for clarification. Turnip you commonly buy in stores in Canada/US are different. In Canada, the turnip has a strong pungent flavor with a pale squash color, and when cooked are not watery. US turnips are mild, (not any real flavor to them in my opinion), almost white and watery when cooked. Rutabagas are not turnips, hence the different names.

Tasty! I diced & then roasted the taters & turnips, also used Yukons and about 5 medium. Didn't realize I was pretty much out of butter, so I only added 1 tbsp. The sugar gave the turnips a little extra kick. Neat change for mashed taters. Adding some cheese & garlic might be good too.

I have awarded fewer stars only because a novice cook needs "cup" measurements for the potatoes and turnip. Also after reading the recipe and several of the reviews I have also concluded that the turnip is correctly "rutabaga". Using the wrong vegetable in the recipe would make a tremendous difference in texture and taste! Rutabaga would be the correct one to use. I find turnips are rather tasteless and 'watery'. I have made something very similar in the past using rutabaga...thanks for the reminder...it is very tasty alternative way to serve potatoes and I will be making it again soon.

Great base recipe. Gave 4 stars instead of 5 because I do feel it needed the brown sugar, not white, and also needed more salt. I also added parsnips to the mix. I ended up with 1 parsnip and 1 turnip to every 2 potatoes. This made a delightful mashed blend. Thanks for posting the recipe.
