Fall-inspired mashed potatoes with turnips, apples, and bacon - a delicious seasonal side dish.
Ingredients:
  • 1 lb turnips, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 slices bacon, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
  • 2 medium Golden Delicious apples, peeled, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons roasted garlic (from 10-oz jar)
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
  • Place turnips and potatoes in a 5-quart Dutch oven and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain the vegetables.
  • In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, crisp up the bacon over medium-high heat until fully cooked, about 5 to 6 minutes. Place the bacon on paper towels to drain, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings in the skillet. Crumble the bacon and set it aside. In the same skillet with the reserved drippings, cook the apples over medium-high heat for about 6 minutes, stirring often, until they are tender and lightly browned.
  • Combine turnips, potatoes, apples, garlic, thyme in a large bowl and mash until blended but still chunky. Mix in buttermilk and melted butter. Season with salt and pepper, then top with bacon.
