This was bitter. I think it was because of the turnip. It would've been better with just sweet and regular mashed potatoes.

5/3/2014 I will never want to eat just regular mashed potato again! Absolutely fabulous and so simple and fast. I didn't have turnip but had rutabaga which I prefer. Very Nice.

This was delicious and a nice change from standard mashed potatoes. I halved the recipe and it still made a bunch.
